School Board Shenanigans
Featured
I write in response to the execrable Feb. 7 commentary, “A tale of two board discussions,” by Duncan Brown, the now-retired former president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, a teachers union in the school district.
Sadly, Brown continues to misrepresent facts and promote falsehoods. One might wonder why Brown has raised his head now.
On a 4-1 vote, @ChinoValleyUSD adopted a policy which includes a requirement the district notify parents when their child requests to be identified or treated as a gender different from their biological sex, wants to use opposite-sex facilities, or suspects their child is suicidal. State Superintendent Tony Thurmond attended the board meeting and spoke intending to bully the school board.
The Temecula Valley Unified school board did not back down Tuesday from its previous decision to reject Social Studies Alive textbooks recommended by a committee of its teachers, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s warnings that the district could be sanctioned if it didn’t use the updated state-approved curriculum.
In May, the school board voted 3-2 not to use the Social Studies Alive!” textbooks, published by Teachers Curriculum Institute, in grades one to five. Some board members objected to supplemental material to the textbook that included gay rights activist Harvey Milk. Tuesday’s vote was again 3-2.
‘The Patriot Barbie’ podcast host Lindsey Graham dressed up as a cat and spoke at an Arizona school board meeting. Here she discusses how woke ideas in schools are putting kids in danger on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

The San Dieguito Union High School District board has been in turmoil in recent weeks as the district’s teachers union has been working to remove three of the district’s five board trustees.
