Our school board meeting is underway and NBC is there working on a hit piece to smear parents who’ve objected to the board breaking TX Open Mtgs Act, hiring a PR firm and refusing PIRs, all to bully residents into funding CRT as curriculum.
It’s interesting that the school entered into a deal with @sunwestpr and then suddenly hit pieces about community members began appearing everywhere. Magically, NBC is now sending cameras to our school board meeting. Of course, we can’t see invoices, so it’s all a mystery.
The CRT proposal included establishing punishment for students who commit microaggressions — defined in the draft plan as "Microaggressions are defined as everyday verbal or nonverbal, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional”
Parents are right now blasting the $8,500 retainer given to @sunwestpr (the language of the letter to the school board is insane) and the school's refusal to share invoices. Mother speaking now is a journo speaking out. "Taxpayer money was used to slander parents ..."
The sad thing is that those who've objected have had their property vandalized, kids bullied -- one kid who runs a lawn service so he could by his own truck (single dad household) reportedly had adults trying to run down his service's ratings because he spoke out.
People are asking me how a town in Texas got to this point with Marxist CRT curriculum. The answer is that no one watched the school board. Numerous seats were filled by unopposed candidates. That's exactly how it happened.
The NBC producer who reached out to our city is @kaylamc1 who is at the board meeting tonight. Hopefully @sunwestpr releases invoices on this; I'd hate to think our school board hired a PR company to attack our community after they violated TX Open Mtgs Act.
A mom and former teacher at the mic and is blowing up the corrupt school board with receeeeeeipts right now. HOO BOY. I doubt she will be approached by NBC to give her legitimate criticisms of the board and objections to their CRT proposal.
Apparently NBC is out talking with proponents of the CRT and supporters of the corrupt board while moms and dads are taking the board to task at the mic right now.
Another mom at the mic notes our property taxes, due at midnight, will pay for a big fancy law firm to defend the board from its law violation and for @sunwestpr (despite our district having a PR person anyway) to (according to the accusations) plant stories attacking taxpayers.
"It appears CISD has taken a side in this controversy and has chosen a side," says a dad demanding full disclosure of accounting and dealings with our district from @sunwestpr . Regardless your politics, school boards should not refuse to be transparent re use of tax dollars.
Many minority community members blasting the board and their CRT proposal. Up now, friend and business owner Huy Ton, whose previous remarks about this issue at past board meetings have been inspirational. Wonder if NBC is speaking to them or ignoring them.
Public comment period is over. Board has now moved on to other administrative issues; forthcoming is the executive session where the board will consult with their expensive attorneys we are paying for re: the lawsuit over their TX Open Mtgs Act violation. meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Agenda/…

This is the NBC reporter who wanted to do a story about @AllenWest 's remarks at a community meeting of hundreds upon hundreds of parents without apparently reaching out to West himself. Also, feel free to tag me next time, Mike.
Of course, no one actually *knows* what the school board did with @sunwestpr because they’ve not honored PIRs for invoicing made by parents. Seems like that would be important as a story 🤔
There is a massive and well-organized effort to harass parents and students who object to the taxpayer CRT program being pushed. (Discussed here in further detail from last night’s newsletter danaloesch.substack.com/p/the-grand-ol… )
This bill is garbage: “These Are a Handful of Garbage Items Tossed Into the COVID Relief Bill” townhall.com/tipsheet/bethb…
Really glad that government shut down our economy yet still charged/stole exorbitant taxes to fund The Kennedy Center, programs for other countries, and other things entirely unrelated to the pandemic. Republicans supporting this are an embarrassment.
We’ll be expected to pay taxes on time this year to pay the salaries of the garbage politicians who made it impossible for you to generate the income from which their salaries are funded. Our government is a joke.
So our “free press” sat on a story about the two-year investigation into 50-something year-old “child” Hunter Biden’s taxes and Chinese business dealings and the DOJ paused the investigation because of the election — while accusing their critics of "undermining democracy."
The “free press” deserves every syllable of criticism I and anyone else has ever given them. They have utterly failed you. They are not journalists, they’re activists. They’ve done more to undermine belief in their own industry than anyone else.
Government bureaucrats, aided by our “free press,” worked to suppress information to control the outcome of an election. This isn’t conjecture, they’ve outright admitted it.
"I will not be lectured to by people who say that eating in a restaurant while observing health protocols is riskier than shutting down the largest economy in the world."
"I will not be lectured to by bureaucrats who say it’s risker to reopen schools than it is to force an entire generation into lockdown for nearly a year stunting them in every way but loneliness."
