1/🧵Ok everybody there were only 3 speakers at tonight’s @ChandlerUnified mtg but they were… something else.
Seriously, have a seat. No wait - make some popcorn, pour yourself a nice beverage, and settle in for the @nbcsnl school board skit they can only wish they had written.
2/🧵 First up: Kurt Rohrs.
“To speak about discipline.”
Discipline.
Remember this.
DISCIPLINE.
3/🧵 “So let’s talk about chicken thighs.”
Y’all… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
4/🧵 Ok before we continue with Kurt, let’s revisit the last meeting for a critical moment he’s about to reference: pointing out the ridiculousness of permission slips sent home over chicken BREASTS.
6/🧵 Just to be clear, if you’d thought “permission slips over chicken breasts cannot get any more ridiculous period” you would not have been unreasonable.
But you would have been wrong.
Enter CUSD Board Candidate Kurt Rohrs, who cannot bring himself to say “chicken breasts”…
7/🧵 … but can bring himself to say this.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, KURT. 😳
8/🧵 Think this is part of his plan to “Let Teachers Teach” in a “supportive environment” ???
11/🧵 Mmkay then Kurt managed to work in some feigned concern over “the dignity of the teaching profession” …
… before basically dropping his pants to show his whole teacher-hating ass.
Remember: this man wants a seat on the CUSD governing board.
Maybe we stop that…?
12/🧵 Alrighty then so moving on from there, next up was a woman with multiple props.
Y’all… I expected greatness here.
I was not disappointed.
13/🧵 But first, she may have dropped out of the race, but we’ll always have “the Black Laws Dictionary,” right Nicole? 😢
It was a truly great moment in Props of CUSD Board Meetings history…
14/🧵 A woman, a bible, and a statue walk up to a podium…
15/🧵 (Yes we know what she’s talking about. No it won’t get linked here. It’s a recording supposedly taken from a classroom & posted by… b/c of course it’d be them… Purple4Parents. But unlike hate groups we aren’t cool w/ harassing teachers so… sorry. Not sharing it here.)
16/🧵 Let there be props!
Y’all can comment on your favorite parts of this. I have to get to bed at some point this year. 🤣
17/🧵 Now, I know what you’re probably thinking: no WAY is anyone topping that.
Oh ye of little faith…
✅ brought a handout
✅ “independent journalist”
✅ DETERMINED TO WIN TONIGHT’S BINGO GAME!!!
18/🧵This woman was NOT messing around. It’s a 9-hr time difference b/t AZ & The Netherlands. This poor woman of many, many hats was obviously powering through brutal jet lag to personally deliver these charges of broken INTERNATIONAL LAWS straight from The Hague.
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
