The people need a reawakening,
a new rebirth, to remove the blinding shackles of conditioning and
indoctrination by the CAI School
of HOA Governance, causing it may be argued, institutionalized HOA-Land to
function as “captive agencies” of the School’s teachings.

OBJECTIVE
Boards of directors need to be educated and reoriented on HOA
constitutionality relating to violations of due process and the equal
protection of the laws, because
1) the national lobbying entity, CAI, has indoctrinated boards of directors, the
legislators, the courts, and the public with its CAI School of HOA
Governance program
—
creating the culture and climate for the HOA-Land
Nation within America — that contains just lip service to constitutional
questions, and 2) HOAs are a form of local government not subject to the
Constitution.
This indoctrination, by teachings of The CAI School, of
boards of directors and all HOA members
prevents them from recognizing and accepting the true nature of HOA
reality. Indoctrination “is
the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs
uncritically.”
Since the teachings are all that the indoctrinated ever see, they
assume the School presents a true picture of HOA-Land. The actual
reality! NOT SO!
For example, CAI in its amicus
curiae brief to the NJ court,
“In light of these statutory,
contractual and common law standards protecting the interests of community
association members, they need not claim constitutional protection from the
conduct of governing boards to exercise their rights with respect to the
associations.” (CAI
amicus brief, Jan. 3, 2013, Dublirer v. 2000 Linwood Avenue Owners Assn, N.J.
Docket 069154 (2014).).
And in the report to the South
Carolina General Assembly,
“In order to provide accurate
and readily available resources to educate homeowners, board members, and
interested persons about the duties and responsibilities of property ownership
in an HOA community, the General Assembly . . . to seek reliable and unbiased
information available from private entities . . . and provide for published and
online documents and programs offering HOA education . . . .” (“Study On Homeowners
Associations”, Luke A. Rankin, Chair, South Carolina General Assembly (December
18, 2015).
The Plan Toward Restoring the HOA Model of Governance calls
for both a systemic restructuring of the HOA legal scheme and the need to
reorient the BODs and legislators. The long ignored and inexcusable violations of constitutionality that continue to harm members and the greater
communities across this country must be exposed, understood and corrected.
The idea of the Continuing Homeowner Education & Reorientation
Series is to find a way for the indoctrinated BOD and members to come into
the “light” and attain enlightenment from the School’s conditioning practices. If they were to do this, they would
be able to turn and see the reality of HOA-Land for what it is.
CHERS will provide this needed
opposing voice.

One answer to the threat of demagogues and rule by the “mob” in
a democracy, the Founders suggested, a second fundamental bulwark against
demagogues needed to be created: an educated populace.
Thomas Jefferson argued that general education was necessary to
“enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his
freedom.” Jefferson noted, “if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a
state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
