This was a new position. I did the background check, references, etc and was set to start today.
Last week they announced a return to permanent masking at the school. I asked if the students in my choir class could remove them while singing. They denied my request.
I then asked to speak with the health department about the decision. They told me that was fine and to expect a call this weekend. The call never came. Instead, I received an email yesterday saying I was terminated. The reason? My resistance to the new mask policy (which was implemented AFTER I was hired).
Even more egregiously, I was completely purged from Twitter on Father's Day, June 18. I wasn't given a warning or explanation. Twitter is refusing to respond about the ban after over half a dozen appeals. Creepily, no one really seemed to notice I was removed despite rapidly approaching 10,000 followers. This is the REAL effect of deplatforming. There was no Streisand for me.
This is the EXACT same treatment I received from BandCamp and YouTube. I was banned from BandCamp in January 2022 in a similar fashion. They nuked my entire profile and refused to respond. YouTube followed up in January 2023 and deleted my ENTIRE channel of 16 years with ~500 videos (mostly ragtime piano). I didn't get a warning nor did I get 3 strikes first.
And now Twitter has followed suit. I had millions of views on songs on Twitter, and they were all removed.
When nobody stood up for me after the Twitter ban, I realized I had to move on. Fortunately, gigs are trickling back and I've been able to scrape by with a tiny amount of work. I was looking forward to this new position and now it's gone because I stood up for myself and my students.
I'm purged from the web, and can't find work without psychological and physical abuse.

Man I cannot imagine this. I love your music and have laughed hard with some of the songs you’ve written. There is no doubt that the establishment hates you because music is the greatest of ways to share a message and commit something to memory. Clearly the school or certain sites did not want you getting your message across, but I will pray that God will always provide for you; you’re a genius man exposing absurdity.
It sucks man, really, really sucks. I hope you get justice, but after my experience. Ive given up.
Fucking scum lawyers and crooks here. And this is the biggest city on canadas east coast, lol, what. I can only imagine what its like a small town ran by the boys. Back home was pretty fucked but just doesnt even hold a candle here.
No one will do whats right or even help me. Im pretty sure my parathyroid results are fucked up, I get a call 2-3 hours after the blood draw asking me to come in and talk to someone.
Ive been there twice in the last 5 months, and both times, there was no doctor at the walkin to give me my results. Not that they will do shit for me anyway. Ive been asking for a phosphorous in urine test, and they wont do it for some reason. Guess they dont want to prove me right about what I think happened to me.
Everyday I wake up, my throat/neck is sorer than the day before. Every day there is about a hour or two I spend feeling nauseous and ready to puke.
I have to bet this is how people with cancer feel. No one will do shit to help me.
Just keep saying the same things over and over, freon cant do that, bla bla bla.
Had a eye doctor who tried to tell me that blood pressure has nothing to do with my eye function (what the fuck)
High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back part of the eye. It changes light and images that enter the eye into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. Damage to the retina from high blood pressure is called hypertensive retinopathy.
Tells me im going to lose my vision in 20 years, and thats normal.
Like I give up, Ive conscripted myself to death. This society can go fuck itself.
If I had some more balls, Id light myself on fire before I go.
For my sanity, I tell myself that it was incompetence and greed that did this to me. But deep down, I feel there is more to it than that.
Especially knowing that its in my blood to rebel against the crown and church......
Maybe we are targeted individuals. I hate saying that, but how else can such blatant injustice and torture be fucking explained?
I have a real good feeling there is a thread somewhere with my name on it, no lawyer here will even call me back when they hear my name.
Have you ever recorded anything in the “ballad” genre? I think your lyricism combined with your respect of “forgotten” genres of music could lead to something awesome. I’ve been listening to a lot of Marty Robbin’s Big Iron lately lol, can’t get enough.
This “school” is the epitome of everything wrong with this liberal hellhole. Insanely expensive, filled with groomers, and they are still canceling school over COVID on a regular basis. I can’t even imagine paying for that. Desperate to revive their dying music program which had been decimated by COVID restrictions, they reached out to me to help, and I was happy to accept.
So it's a hellhole but he was still happy to take their money and work for them.

Cancelled: What it's really like

Are there any choirs near you not run by queers? Perhaps a local church?
You’re great man, don’t let the parasitized state of the modern world get you too down
I send my sincere admiration towards your sacrifices on the front lines. If anyone "graduates" to the next level, it's you.

You got lucky, dont have to hang around with child abusers nor look at their shit online. Count yourself lucky and move on.

Maybe the problem is him, not them.
a) eating implies ones choice to adapt to hunger (need) or for fall for the temptation of appetite (want).
b) others suggest food to tempt one to reason (want vs not want) over appetite, while ignoring hunger.
Ignore this shill faggot, everyone regards him as a joke
