MJ -- Controversy Over Elementary School Exposure

MJ -- Controversy Over Elementary School Exposure
about a minute ago by TMZ Staff  

Michael Jackson's name is taking center stage in a controversial cover-up ... one involving kids, an elementary school -- and a group of MJ fans looking to literally clear his name.



It's all over a building once called the Michael Jackson Auditorium located at Gardner Elementary School in Los Angeles -- where MJ attended classes back in 1970.

Michael's name was proudly displayed on the building from 1989 until 2003 ... when in the wake of the molestation allegations, school officials used plywood to cover up the words Michael and Jackson.

But an MJ support group claims it's an unfair punishment since MJ was never convicted of any wrongdoing ... and after he died, they launched a campaign to uncover MJ's name on the building.

And the campaign appears to be working -- so far, they've obtained more than 2000 signatures -- and got a meeting to plead their case in front of the school board next week.

The Board of Education confirmed the meeting -- but had no further comment.

First word that jumps out at me is "Exposure"

* the act of subjecting someone to an influencing experience; "she denounced the exposure of children to pornography"

* the disclosure of something secret; "they feared exposure of their campaign plans"

* vulnerability: the state of being vulnerable or exposed; "his vulnerability to litigation"; "his exposure to ridicule"

* presentation to view in an open or public manner; "the exposure of his anger was shocking"

* abandoning without shelter or protection (as by leaving as infant out in the open)

* vulnerability to the elements; to the action of heat or cold or wind or rain; "exposure to the weather" or "they died from exposure"

* the intensity of light falling on a photographic film or plate; "he used the wrong exposure"

* photograph: a representation of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material

* the act of exposing film to light

""Michael Jackson's name is taking center stage in a controversial cover-up""  :lol:  is what stood out to me

An auditorium is a room built to enable an audience to hear and watch performances at venues such as theatres.

We're all having front row seats...

[Lonelynation]

Holy smokes what is up with all this Michael news? I mean obviously it's great for us...'but I find it interesting/odd that it's been story after story right now. This one strikes my interest. Exposure? Come on. BAM soon? It feels like it (and I've never suggested it before - timing had never felt right,'but now...)

[~Souza~]

Maybe it's almost time to reveal "Michael" & "Jackson"?

This is an old story and something like this was reported last year already as far as I remember.

"auditorium" and "exposure" are quite thrilling  

What's amazing to me is that Mo was there on the very minute TMZ posted it  
When do you get some sleep MO  :lol:  ?!

Now that you said we have front row seats you made me think - I am afraid I'll miss the BAM because in my country it's night when in U.S. it's day time   :cry:
Michael can you tell me the hour, so I'll be awake and watch :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  ?

Sorry  :oops: :lol:

The Bible passage 10:14   The article dated October 14th.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

and this:

10:14  But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

such an interesting coincidence - these passages you quoted really match the actual situation

[Le Papillon Bleu]

TMZ reads the bible every day? :lol:

[michaelsupporter]

In this TII, didn't Kenny say "the church of Michael"?? That may have been his indication to these Bible passages?!?!?!?!?!?!

[GINAFELICIA]

Kenny says "the curch of rock-an-roll" ?!?
I'm not sure :?
Anyway, there's a church involved

[anotherpartofme]

Maybe it's almost time to reveal "Michael" & "Jackson"?

I dare to hope...
