I Refuse to go to my Retail Packaging class because of the actions of several students , more than 7 in my Retail Packaging class . The level of hate and racism has increased dramatically in the last few years at Palomar College .. The thing is, hate is learned , and taught by others not a genetically pre-dis-positioned thing people are born with , and the hate that is used on campus at Palomar i believe is taught by Mark Bealo . His AntI-Homosexual Ways have crept into the classroom as he is adored by his students . I thought Religion and Personal views by instructors were not allowed in the classroom? I thought there was a separation of Church and State in the Classroom ? NOT at palomar college.. he is bringing these students in small groups and teaching more hate toward gays, Mexicans, and Jewish students . His Conservative right wing views are influencing students all over campus ..
It is because of this ANTI Gay , Racist Graphic Communication Leader Mr.Bealo that I must change my Major from video and Design to something else just to get away from that dept. The sad part about this is that I am the best video maker, and web Designer on campus , prob in the whole city of 760 right now with a 10,000 Pic Portfolio , Over 10 Awards for best design award and even bringing home the Gold Medal at Del Mar Fair back home to Palomar year after year . But that is not good enough . It still does not give me the credit , influence or clout to do work in peace . I cannot live in a world of hate, and work in a abusive environment , and that is what it feels like in class. Abusive .
Utsandiego.com, and the Assistant to the D.A. has expressed interest in this story and is interested in CIVIL Charges brought upon the School . I just want to go to class, I just want to be able to do my homework .. My mom always told me that in the workplace you will always have to deal with people who don't like you, people who think you are strange or weird, and I do not mind it .. But the problem in this class is you have to work with others to finish projects .. I cannot change these Homophobic students ideas, I cannot change anyone especially Mark Bealo from Hating Gay people and Racist toward Mexicans or Blacks, I cannot stop him from eating at Chic Filet , Or even him signing checks towards the church for spreading his religion in the classroom . When he says he is giving the word of god so it is ok for him to break the rules .
I try to talk to any one of the students in this Retail Packaging class, and it is like talking to a wall . I will ask question after question, and it is like I am not even there? is it my Race? is it the way i look ? Do I smell ? Even the deaf guy , the translators refuse to translate back to me what he is saying ? How can I work with anyone when they all Ignore me? What is this? Am I alienated because I am different ? Why am I treated soo badly when at night i get sad because i think? whats wrong with me? why am I ostracized , Why am I Given this Verbal Abuse? I don't want any problems, I have no problems with anyone.. I love everyone and I am a NON violent person , I do not beleive in Violence or any wars. I put my Problems on paper and try to figure out a civil solution .
I just want to finish my homework , i just want to do my work without dealing with Daily abuse ..When Mr. Dodson is not doing his important lectures that I enjoy ... I wish to be moved to another classroom, or a hallway , or a nice bench where i can do my work and not be around these homophobic , Racist , ANTI SEMITE , Chick Filet , Mr Bealo supporting students . Anywhere with a wifi connection i can work , or even turn on my hot spot wifi and i can write code. I know exactly what is going on , and It's sad . Its a Travesty . It is a shame .. and if you can get some free Orange juices or food in the cafeteria for poor students that would be cool cuz my stomach hurts some days and i have nothing to eat .
It Strains me to be a whistle blower but sometimes someone has to stand up .. not for me, but for those after me, who Should not deal with Any Discrimination in any form , There are many things in humanity we need to come to terms with ... We have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
If my small demands to not be Harrassed and Verbally Abused in Class and to be moved cannot be met , I will have to drop the class and File Charges . This story will be picked up by the paper and you will have reporters on campus looking into Homosexual harassment and Racial profiling on campus . Sometimes I wish i was never born , the way I look like, or Wish I wasn;'t the way I am , cuz the way I act , because those around me Treat me different and I just want to be accepted like everyone else, and I feel this is a small step for some, but a large leap for me. but I try . I need to be able to learn and student in a SAFE Zone .
Thank You .
