DESCRIPTION:Defend The Students, Teachers And\nStaff At The Martin Luther King Middle 
 School\n\nPress Conference/Rally At San Francisco DA Gascon’s Office\nFor 
 Prosecution Of Natalie Eberhard And Jeannie Pon\nTuesday November 27, 2012 
 4:30 PM\n750 Bryant St. Hall Of Justice San Francisco\nDemand That That 
 Gascon Investigate and Prosecute MLK Principle Natalie Eberhard and Jeannie 
 Pon, Assisant Superintendent for Middle Schools and on the private SERP 
 Bectel funded educatin\n\nThere is a major cover-up by the managers of the 
 San Francisco Unified School District. Natalie Eberhard, the principle of 
 the Martin Luther King Middle School physically abused students and even 
 sat on a student. This was actually video taped at the school. In response 
 to this abuse, the staff has reported the abuse to the San Francisco Police 
 Department and District Attorney Gascon. The District Attorney has refused 
 to investigate and prosecute this serious criminal activity.\nAt the same 
 time, Jeannie Pon who is the Assistant Superintendent of the Middle School 
 Division of SFUSD has done damage control for Eberhard and sent out a 
 letter on September 14, 2012 after a UESF union community press conference 
 about the abuse. She denied any serious problems at the school and ignored 
 the calls to the police to report abuse by the principal. Additionally 
 Jeannie Pon has approved the retaliation against teachers and staff who 
 have spoken out against this abuse and dangerous working conditions at the 
 school. Fifteen teachers and staff members have been victimized by Eberhard 
 and Pon for standing up for the students and a proper education.\n\nPon is 
 also an operative of the SERP Core Group members in San Francisco which is 
 funded and controlled by the Bechtel corporation. This outfit supports the 
 Core Standards and STEM education plan that has eliminated music and arts 
 in the schools in order to push the testing system as the priority in 
 education.\nOne of the first acts of SERP supporter Natalie Eberhard was to 
 give away all the instruments at the MLK school and close down the music 
 and arts classes. This at a school which was founded to honor Martin Luther 
 King.\nIt is also no accident that this school is mostly working class 
 Black and Latino students. This would never be allowed at most of the 
 schools in the wealthier white districts in San Francisco. It is time to 
 fight for justice and against the privatization of education in San 
 Francisco and to restore the music and art classes at MLK as well as 
 demanding criminal prosecution of both Natalie Eberhard and Assistant 
 Superintendent Jeannie Pon for physical abuse and the criminal obstruction 
 of justice.\nFor more information go to\nSF Martin Luther King UESF  School
