Board elections are held in off season elections and voter turn out is very low. So by just the teachers voting, they elect the board. Our school board a few years back was so brilliant that when they hired a new superintendent in June after the school year was out, for a specific salary, the board decided that just before school started in the Fall to give her a $20,000 raise, this before she even set foot in the district.

B.S.

It is completely pointless to try to engage in a rational, responsible discussion or debate with ANY SJWs, because they think they already know all the truth that needs to be known, and anyone who disagrees is a racist/sexist/bigot/etc.

These people literally cannot be reasoned with, rather they must be eradicated.

Everyone needs to understand this about these sorts of people. Speak the truth to them and call them out on their absurdly manipulative and deceitful tactics.

The woman in the video was brilliant. You cannot put social courtesies above standing your ground and outing them for the outrageous, despicable, aggressively deceitful, anti-social a-holes that they are. Save your formal debate skills for another day, they will not respect them or you in a way that allows those to be effective.

I don't say this very often, but that is one of the most ridiculous posts I have ever encountered on City-Data -- and that is saying a LOT!

Oh, PUH-LEEZE.

MOST people pay taxes for more than 40 years. The least the government can do is provide education for their kids.

Not wanting your kids to hate their ancestry is NOT racist -- and that applies to ALL races.

THAT is why so many people say that when all else fails in an argument, leftists yell "RACIST". That is getting VERY old -- and especially when such attacks are not justified.

Let me give you one hint that her tirade did nothing, no one applauded, no joined in, now one said yeah. If she had a supported argument there would have been support from the other attendees and their wasn't.

Have you ever been to a school board meeting? People like that put the word out, bring friends and allies, I have seen people stand up as a group to support a speakers position when their done, what did we see, nothing crickets......

Some other hints SB Members do not develop the curriculum they only approve changes after public sessions to hear both sides. This district is 5 schools and 5000 students it's not LA or Houston. And the county is predominetly Republican, go figure....

Are you trying to suggest that you believe this vile CRT agenda that is being imposed in this district has the actual support of a "Predominetly Republican" constituency?

One we have no idea what the actual curriculm is, her comments are her views and they go round and round. I am trying to say that for all name calling that has been posted so far on this topic by you and others the odds are in favor that like the community the SB Members are also predominetly Republican...

Check out the video below. Wow. She puts on a tutorial on how to handle these revolting scumbags.

‘You work for ME’: Mother from Carmel NY absolutely TEARS the school board a new one over Critical Race Theory




The problem has been too much apathy and too much cowardice from people who can and should be taking a stand against these disgusting people. You cannot just go hide and expect someone else will do it for you.

If people would line up in long lines to wear these people out at meeting like this, while having it filmed and then posting it, that will go a long way to helping encourage others to do the same. And then some of these same people need to run for these elected positions in order to keep this riff-raff out of there from now on.
She hit the nail on the head, if a teacher named Barry or Syrus, is posting nasty racist things on social media, like the death of Trump, and saying students or parents who do not embrace BLM should be canceled, and putting his name to curriculum promoting the Marxist Black nationalist Black Panthers Party, then why can't she name them? They were not shy to name themselves when they posted these thing for the public to see.

it's better to have the school board a separate election, is my experience, because then only people who know and care vote. If you tie it to the general election and put it far down ballot, people who came to vote for president and a few other choice positions just pick a school board member name. He who has the "best" name wins. It's hopeless to make changes that reflect the will of the school community if you don't elect the school board in a separate election.

This is the PERFECT scenario to have caring parents overturn the board. If she's right - the parents overwhelmingly believe what she believes - this is a no-brainer to elect a slate of board members they want.

Think about the school. There are MANY more students than teachers, and for every student there are 2 parents. Teachers are hopelessly outnumbered, if the parents care to take a half hour out of their life and go vote.

OR, they don't care or don't agree with Tatiana as she believes they do.

Exactly right.

Also, nobody who is interacting with these SJW types should defer to any rules, limits or demands that they try to impose or insist on. Ignore any such demands and focus on the truth you have to tell and their vile and deceitful behavior. Call them out and if they interrupt you, interrupt them back and say it all again.
