1/🧵Hey @ChandlerUnified at what point do you finally stand up and say people cannot use your meetings to spout racism, bigotry, or tonight’s special surprise: ANTISEMITISM. “Let’s get to the very bottom of it… if you want to bring race into it, it’s the Jews.” @ADLArizona
2/🧵 B/c when this asshole got APPLAUSE from the usual suspects, Board President Barb Mozdzen simply said: “Your comments really need to be related to what the school board can do something about, and [laughing] this was not something we can something about.” Which part, Barb?
3/🧵Can you not do something about Covid vaccines being “deadly poison”? Or that “everybody who takes it is damaging their immune system”? Or that it’s going to “destroy” children? Should she not have said those things b/c you can’t do anything about them, or b/c they’re LIES?
4/🧵 Can you not do something about the “one race that owns all the pharmaceutical companies” or that “these vaccines aren’t safe, they aren’t effective”? Should she not have said those things b/c you can’t do anything about them, or because they’re HATEFUL LIES?
5/🧵Can you not do something about the increase in gas and food prices? Or that “our money” is being “given to these pharmaceutical companies” owned by one race: “the Jews”? Should she not have said these things b/c you can’t do anything about them, OR B/C THEY’RE HATE SPEECH?!
6/🧵 @ChandlerUnified Board President Barb Mozdzen has a disgraceful habit of excusing the inexcusable. Go back through my recent threads. It’s been more than spelled out for everyone. You’ve all seen her do it.
7/🧵 An antisemitic rant receiving enthusiastic applause, and being met with “don’t say that stuff because we can’t do anything about it” AND ALSO AN AUDIBLE LAUGH was more than anyone should need to see.
8/🧵 The CUSD board is controlled by racists and bigots happily giving a platform to other racists/bigots. @ChandlerUnified: fuck your override. Address the hate speech regularly on display at your mtgs. Address the racism/bigotry in both the words AND the silence of your board.
We really need y’all to contact the board & superintendent to let them know how grossly inappropriate the handling of this situation was. As long as they stand by the useless statement released Thu (see below) their handling of this continues to be horrific…
If you are a parent w/kids in district say so. But ALL are encouraged to contact them. Demand they take immediate, meaningful action over this incident, & address ALL of the racism/bigotry routinely brought into board mtgs. The hostile climate they foster allowed this to happen…
Here’s the completely meaningless statement they released. It doesn’t even address the role of school leadership in encouraging hate speech, or in allowing it to happen unchallenged, or how it was responded to with laughter from the board President. cusd80.com/Page/115830

2/ A closer look revealed Scott has an affinity for using 💜 emojis - nbd - but also that Scott’s pronouns are she/her.
No judgement here. But it did seem odd given the apathy/hostility faced when trying to get them to care about what trans/nonbinary kids have been put through.
3/ Scott publicly identifies here as female & seems to wholeheartedly embrace her true self “liking” some sort of beauty bar. As she should!
But again- why the nasty reactions to so many ppl saying hey but our trans/nonbinary kids have been suffering too…?
11 speakers.
3 CUSD parents (plus Ann).
2 of them were there to speak about violence against their son(s) in school in Chandler.
Gilbert Bridget took away a minute from each of them for this:
11/ I get it. You oranges (suddenly) care so much about (some) students and are very upset about things (you are exaggerating and/or making up) that you read about online (b/c everything there is true) such as as “sextortion” and FENTANYL FENTANYL FENTANYL!
12/ This is a good time to remind y’all that a closed mouth gathers no feet. If you’re here for the first time, search my tweets for what I’ve said about how students are treated, how they’re being failed, who is failing them, etc before offering up your opinion on any of this.
1/ Anyone else curious why a c3 nonprofit (not based in @cityofchandler) backing a recall effort of a @ChandlerUnified board member freaked out over ?s/concerns raised on FB by #CUSD voters?
And then started offering “let’s meet in person for coffee and discuss” invites to them?
2/ And then they began blocking those who declined the bait & switch bullshit?
And then they deleted the entire post?
And when one #CUSD mom showed up in good faith this morning for what she was told would be a chat over coffee, she was ambushed by a fb live they had planned?
3/ And in the comments on that fb live, staunch supporters of their effort were already laughing about the #CUSD mom showing up unprepared…? For an “interview” ? But I didn’t see any invitations extended for an “interview,” did y’all?
2/ Those two pharisaical hypocrites had the audacity to think they could exploit a humanitarian crisis while pretending to care about my family and so many others & what… we wouldn’t remember their silence? At a time when all they did was run their mouths at our meetings???
3/This is why Char lost to Kurt. She was the far better candidate but tried playing both sides, too ashamed to admit who she really is & too afraid to claim her friends. Kurt has no shame & their ppl dropped her to vote him into what should’ve been her seat.
[1/3] So @ChandlerUnified let 🧻🇺🇸 members wear a special cord during graduation.
[link in 2/3]
If my kid was in a club who did this kinda crap I’d for sure want the whole world to know how I proud I was of them being groomed as a pawn to exploit a horrific act of terrorism.
There were 6 speakers but the last 2 were kiddos who went at the same time so technically we heard 5 separate addresses.
However…
2/ …3 of those addresses came from total randoms seemingly there to support Kurt’s bullshit from the previous mtg when & where he fully embarrassed himself w/ a tantrum over teacher training. So basically there were 2 addresses.
This calls for a brief but important aside…
3/ Anyone else see a pattern here?
1. Kurt’s an asshole and/or doesn’t know stuff and/or embarrasses himself 2. At the next mtg, random jerks speak on stuff that *conveniently* *could* support/defend/bolster Kurt’s ridiculous/inappropriate behavior 3. Rinse 4. Repeat
