READERS SOUND OFF ABOUT YOUNG BISD TEACHER'S SUICIDE

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Anonymous: (Brownsville Independent School District Human Resources Director) Carmelita (Rodriguez) and all the bitches that get together for Botox parties are involved. Linda Gallegos is involved. (BISD board member) Minerva (Peña) and her sister Linda lurk like witches day and night, along with Rose Longoria. 

They hide behind scriptures and false prophecies. They should ALL be held accountable for their heinous actions. Minerva might have even turned this poor young lady in to vilify her. She will go to any lengths in order to deliberately cause harm to someone. 

Luke 12:2-5: You can't keep your true self hidden forever, Before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will fall and your true face will be shown. You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public. The day will come when those whispers will be heard all over town. 

The time has come. The whole town is seeing Minerva for who and what she really is. An Evil, conniving, nefarious, self serving, spiteful, corrupt snake. Rest In Peace little one for she can no longer hurt you.

(Commenter at August 29, 2021 at 8:19 a.m.) You are correct. Only people that have been fired understand how alone you are. Your family gets angry at you. Your friends gossip about you. You alone go through sleepless nights, anguish, negative feelings, plus your pride in not keeping your job that you love and seeing your dream go down the drain.

This teacher's principal and coworkers were unable to help when facing the power of Human Resources. The teacher could have been suspended, could have been given another job etc.... So many solutions to help a young teacher.

However, this can not be a secretive occurrence. This affected students, parents, coworkers, principals, and the public in general. The Board needs to give training to new teachers about what to do if they get a bad evaluation, if they are terminated or if they are accused of a wrong doing. This has to be out in the open. These trainings are a must: to talk about things that many teachers are not aware. 

1. Coaches can not look at girls. Nor exchange phone numbers nor offer them a ride to the home. The coaches will be fired. 

2. Teachers can not beat a student. The teachers will be fired. 

3. Teachers can not argue with principals. Teachers will be fired. BISD needs to help its employees. The BISD retired teachers can create a help group to advise fired employees. The fired teachers need a mentor, to help them survive this ordeal. This young teacher's death, can not be in vain. 

The City of Brownsville also functions this way: they need to take care of the employees they fire. They need to establish programs to help employees.

Anonymous: Does anybody know this poor young ladies name to at least give condolences to the family? Nobody knows anything. Minerva Pena hasn't posted anything other than scriptures to lift herself up. No one has posted condolences on her page. Weird how on his blog the poor young girl is mentioned but her name is left out. We can't even pray correctly for her family as they mourn.
