I am well aware that a number of you are out there who have left the org and are hesitant to speak.
I cannot stress enough how great a responsibility you have to speak. You do not have to use your name, you do not have to share all you know, but you must speak out. Without us speaking out, there will always be another just like us walking into the schools for the first time, unaware of the repercussions. Until the schools change, those who know must speak out.
Every one of you has lost friends, feared a smear campaign, and had close relationships changed in context so that you must always act as though you are eating crow for your own valid life decisions. By falling for these techniques, we play the moo game by the moo rules. I refuse to do so, and so should you.
If you have let down a friend, or a friend has let you down, what business is that of the moos? None of their business, that's what. If you have chosen to leave, what business is that of the moos? None. If you decide to express honestly your experiences in the moo, what business is that of the moos? None, again, none. If you decide to hold John Kim accountable for what he has done, what business is that of the moos? Again, none. It is between you and John Kim and no one else.
And for those who have friends still in, know that John Kim will line up instructors between himself and his own responsibilities. He will leave them to teach when he should, he will leave them to take the legal heat when it comes, he will leave them high and dry.
When the legal action begins to heat up, when there are suits based on greater and greater issues, watch, it will be your old friends lined up and taking the pinch, until they are shut down, without a single dollar of aid from John Kim. After one or two fall without aid, how many do you think will choose to fight suits they could very well join?
Come forward, speak, there are old friends in our camp, and more coming. We are all the ones you hardly spoke to after we left, just as your old friends may not speak to you. There is no cause for emnity between us. We strive to live a compassion Kim can't even approach.
And if you are afraid of speaking here, the yahoo group is always waiting.
