Keith Wilson Character Counts

"Character Counts" teaches six pillars of character to live by. These six pillars apply to everyone and exclude no one. The Josephson Institute explains the six pillars of character as;

Trustworthiness

Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country

Respect

Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements
Responsibility

Do what you are supposed to do • Plan ahead • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act — consider the consequences • Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes • Set a good example for others
Fairness

Play by the rules • Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly • Treat all people fairly
Caring

Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need
Citizenship

Do your share to make your school and community better • Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor • Obey laws and rules • Respect authority • Protect the environment • Volunteer

Children begin to learn about character from their parents, long before they enter the educational arena. Our children are little sponges, watching and listening to everything we do and say. When our children enter school, they begin to learn from their friends as well as our teachers. Some children arrive at the door with a base, built by their parents, who demonstrated good character and instilled it in their children.

On October 8, 2015, I submitted a Public Information Request, seeking e-mails, exchanged between several individuals. I sought to examine the dialogue and exchange of information between members of the public, board members and the Superintendent.

What I discovered was both frightening and appalling.

One of the individuals whose e-mails I sought to examine was Keith Wilson. Keith Wilson is the driving force behind the "Re-Call" effort to remove PUSD Board Member Andy Patapow. Keith Wilson is also a regular speaker and critic of the District, Dr. John Collins and Mr. Patapow. I wrote in a recent post about Keith Wilson's fixation with sexual innuendo. His many rants before the school board, during the public comment time of the meeting, often contained reference to something sexual in nature. Keith Wilson will often attempt to qualify or minimize his statement as not really being sexual, just a way to get his point across. Keith Wilson clearly relishes the spot light and enjoys the response he gets when making his off colored comments directed at various members of PUSD.

While reviewing the mountain of e-mails, I came across three e-mails sent by Keith Wilson on September 11, October 11 and 12, 2015, that paint a picture of his character, or lack there of. On September 11, 2015, Keith Wilson sent the following e-mail to Dr. John Collins and Cc'd his daughter;

The next day, Keith Wilson followed the above e-mail with the one below;



Then on October 12, 2015, Keith Wilson sent the below e-mail to Associate Superintendent of Personnel Support Services, Tracy Hogarth;




The link at the bottom of the e-mail is for the song;

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".

The above e-mails are but a small sampling of e-mails sent by Keith Wilson. In my opinion, they paint a picture of a troubled individual, who lacks character. Keith Wilson has shown through his writings in these e-mails, he is not a good person. Keith Wilson has proven he is not someone to look up to and admire. Keith Wilson shows he is not thinking right nor doing right. Keith Wilson has illustrated he does not know the difference between right and wrong and does not do right. Keith Wilson has proven to not set a good example for everyone and has not shown any effort to make
the world a better place.

Keith Wilson;
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

When we judge a person and their character, we often do so after giving the benefit of doubt, for prior words and actions. After repeated words and actions, we see the habits of a person and this shapes our judgement of their character. Keith Wilson lacks character in my opinion and his destiny will soon be clear. He will no doubt cry foul for being the focus of such a post here. I simply suggest he find a mirror, free from distraction and take a good long look at what stands before him. Keith Wilson, ask yourself; "How is my character viewed by others?"

Character starts with "Trustworthiness" Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation  I am reviewing many other e-mails that need to be shared. I will be doing so over the next several days. Until then, share with friends, who Keith Wilson is and ask if this is a person who should be taken
seriously.

  1. Wow. I feel sorry for the woman who wed this man and gave him children. However, it's clear as day he passed his genes on to Kim. it's too late for this man to get help. Child Protective Services should see these E mails to ensure he does not expose this type of behavior to his grandchildren.

  2. It's a shame Kim Garnier is "finished with this blog." Her defense of her father's indefensible behavior would be amusing.

  3. Thank you for posting this information. Wilson and the Garnier's are constantly hiding behind and using "Free Speech" to say what ever they like. They do not believe there are consequences for their words. Chris Garnier is the first to demean and berate others and when challenged or called on his words accuses others of racism. I for one and sickened by the individual, not the color of his skin. I am offended at his words and actions and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. The many veterans who honorably served and continue to contribute to this country are due our debt of gratitude. Chris Garnier has proven he is owed nothing and in fact is a disgrace to the Corps for his words and actions. You should get a hold of his DD-214 and record of service and see what the Article 15 was all about, just prior to his dismissal from the Marines. THAT would make for a great read.

    Thank you for this BLOG. Please continue to inform with solid and accurate information. Truth is after all, the ultimate defense of any accusation Wilson or Garnier can throw out. As said above, it is too bad Kim is done with this BLOG. I too would love to read her excuses and rants, trying to dismiss the evidence you have provided.
