Hello,
Since my comment about state funding was hidden from the official Mentor Public School Facebook page, I will submit the following public records request.
Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §149.43, I request a copy of the Facebook/Meta Page activity log and/or administrative activity history maintained by Facebook/Meta for the official Mentor Public Schools Facebook page for the period of September 1st through today September 4th 2026.
This request specifically includes the existing automatically generated Facebook/Meta records reflecting administrative actions taken on the page, including, but not limited to:
- Comments hidden, unhidden, deleted, removed, restricted, or otherwise moderated;
- Posts or other content hidden, deleted, removed, or otherwise moderated;
- Administrative actions taken by page administrators or moderators;
- The date and time of each administrative action;
- The Facebook account, administrator, moderator, or user associated with each action, to the extent displayed or maintained in the Facebook/Meta activity log;
- Any activity-log entries specifically relating to comments made by me during this period.
I am specifically requesting the existing Facebook/Meta activity log or administrative history as maintained by Facebook/Meta and accessible to Mentor Public Schools through its administration of the official Facebook page. I am not requesting that the district create or compile a new record.
Please provide the records in their existing electronic format, including an export or download of the Facebook/Meta activity log if that functionality is available to the district.
If the requested Facebook/Meta activity log is not maintained by Mentor Public Schools but is available to the district through its administrator access to the official page, please advise accordingly and provide any portion of the log that is maintained or accessible to the district.
If any portion of the requested records is withheld or redacted, please identify the specific legal authority supporting the withholding or redaction and provide all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
Thank you,
Annie
Editorial Comments by Brian Massie, A Watchman on the Wall
Honesty, integrity and transparency are keys to good governance.
We have been observing and following the trials and tribulations of the Mentor School Board and the administration for quite some time. It started when Superintendent Craig Heath told me that I could not video record their board meeting. That meeting was eventually canceled.
There is definitely a huge ideological split in the board and in the population of the school district. This split is reflective of our society.
One group believes in family moral values, protection of the children and teaching the three R’s, while the other group believes that protection of the children is subservient to the insane leftist ideology that there is no difference between male and female, and children belong to the state not the parents.
The collapse of the American family structure has caused a tremendous societal shift.
I predict we are going to see a tremendous increase in mental health issues in younger and younger children.
When we couple the killing of babies in the womb, and creating mental health issues in schools, we can say that we have experienced the “earthquake”, we can now expect a “tsunami” that will have, sadly, a lifelong impact on our youths and our society.
I seriously question whether public education (indoctrination camps) in its present form can be saved. In the meantime, citizens are being taxed out of their homes to fund a system that will eventually destroy our society.
We are at a crossroads. We can accept the marrow path of freedom and liberty based on a moral foundation on which the country was founded, or we can travel the wide path of destruction anchored by socialism and communism.
If you have never heard of the “Red / Green” axis, I would recommend you get educated on that subject. If you want to see what will happen to the United States, just look at Europe. It is foreshadowing what will happen in our country unless Americans wake up.
