1/ #Chandler! It’s time we hang out w/ my new favorite hashtag: #RacistRuth.

Ruth Jones is a regular CUSD speaker & a very very angry racist. She’s also running for Chandler mayor. (Lol. No, really. She is.)

She also demonstrated just last night that she S-U-C-K-S at lying…

2/ #RacistRuth was asked about one of her more, uhm, well one of her more… really fucking racist moments: attacking CUSD’s Dir. of Equity & Inclusion with wild accusations and trying to get her fired. FIRED, y’all!
“Well, let me explain…”
Oh, please do!

3/ But first here’s #RacistRuth on 8-25 on her daughter being bullied at school. (Warning: I will block anyone who takes shots at her kids. Don’t do it. She already WAY overshares their very personal info & I’ve deliberately cut clips to omit as much as I can.)

Version #1:

4/ Oops! Wrong clip. My bad. There’s just so many examples of her showing up super angry and attacking masks… or CRT… or Black women… honestly it’s just hard to keep them straight sometimes.

Here’s the one we need: daughter bullied, Version #1:

5/ Let’s recap this version so far…

📤 letter (email, Ruth? 😬) sent to H.S. Principal

(4) others copied:
1. Superintendent
2. an Asst. Superintendent
3. an ED
4. a Director

📥 principal (to whom her letter was sent) replies

Rank/“pay grade” matters here so FYI:

6/ Remember ☝️ that ☝️ because here’s what #RacistRuth’s Version 2 was last night:

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

7/ WHOA! That’s not at all the same thing. Here she said she went directly to Dr. Sallu, BEGGING for help re: daughter bullied for using a wheelchair, & it was extra her job b/c her daughter is Native American. (Not that it’s why she was being bullied. Just that she… is.)

8/ And apparently that ☝️ is supposed to explain why she attacked Dr. Sallu and tried to get her fired.

Except back on 10-13 #RacistRuth revisited Version 1 from 8-25 to update us all or whatever and do this:

9/ Oops! That’s #RacistRuth attacking a different Black woman who dared exist on Twitter over a year before their latest hysteria du jour: the feds were coming for them & their not-domestic-terrorism after a DOJ memo came out earlier that week about threats facing school boards.

10/ Nope, we need the clip of #RacistRuth attacking the OTHER Black woman. That same night.

(Two Black women in three minutes is… wow. If the hashtag fits, amiright???)

11/ Hmm. So now we’ve kinda returned to Dr. Sallu being “included” in conversations with OTHERS from the school and central admin. Except that’s like, not at all what she said last night in the hot seat.

Go on, #RacistRuth…

12/ 👀

10-13 “I included [Dr. Sallu] in these conversations… She never even responded. I suspect that’s because I’m white.” FIRE HER! 😡

2-1 “I went to her… And I begged for help… I was told by a member of the district that she would not respond to me b/c I’m white.” 😢

13/ Those are WAAAAYYYYYYYY different takes, #RacistRuth.

You’re pretty big, bad & bold when given chances to Karen-out on your own terms.

But when it’s time to answer for your behavior, suddenly it’s poor little me… I begged… I was told…

14/ Also, whatever happened to the accusation that Dr. Sallu might just be there to promote CRT? Does that sort of batshit crazy attack not go with the whole “Tears of a Victimized White Woman” aesthetic?

15/ #RacistRuth did her very best last night to highlight her daughter being Native American as a reason why Dr. Sallu is extra awful (even though she never mentioned it as a factor in the bullying).

But on 10-13 her reverse-racism-accusation was immediately followed by…

16/ … “Jokes on her - my daughter is Native American.”

Which is it #RacistRuth?

Dr. Sallu knew your daughter is Native American and she is extra horrible for ignoring your begging because of it?

Or is the “joke” on her for NOT knowing while doing a reverse-racism on you?

17/ And since we’re here, #RacistRuth continued last night:

“Two PROBLEMS” ???

I have yet to see her mention anywhere that her daughter was being bullied for being Native American.

Does Ruth think there’s just something inherently problematic about being Native American?

18/ To be clear I fully recognize that Native American & Indigenous people face racism, bigotry, systemic oppression & all other possible wrongs. Only the descendants of colonizers (like me) have the privilege of seeing the genocide which happened here as a thing of the past.

19/ But we’ve also seen Ruth have no problem weaponizing extremely private/personal details when it seemed to help her case, w/o any regard for whether or not any of it was hers to share.

Last night just sounded too much like the go-to “I can’t be a racist I have a…” excuse.

20/ Alright, with no real way to properly segue from such upsetting concerns, it’s time to move on…

21/ Let’s start by calling on @ChandlerUnified to look into the awful claim that one of Dr. Sallu’s colleagues, also a district employee, is saying such horrible things about her.

We know #RacistRuth lies but I’d much prefer if a serious investigation could clear this up.

22/ Speaking of #RacistRuth lies…
