@ChandlerUnified

@ChandlerUnified board meeting starts in just a few mins!

Watch live here:

(ps NO written comments submitted this week.)

@SecularAZ

I highly recommend watching the CUSD candidate forum from last night, graciously hosted by @SecularAZ and facilitated by the always fabulous @JeanneCasteen.

The forum link would help there, huh? (Sorry I don’t do the book, Face anymore!)

@Luv2Disrupt

Board member @Luv2Disrupt is the only masked person up front. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Student presentations now…

It’s beyond disappointing to see how many students are having their names mispronounced in moments that should be honoring them. Is it too much to ask that they review the list of names, and reach out in advance with any questions on how to say their damn names correctly???

Public comments now. 2 people. Up first: #KurtRohrs to talk about “parenting.” 🙄

In summary, Kurt is a grumpy fucking asshole whining about made-up, pearl-clutching bullshit.

Will NO ONE tell this man to spit his gum out before going up to speak? Ughhh.

Anyone out there not married? Apparently you’re not an adult according to Kurt.

Student speaking in support of strengthening CUSD’s commitment to equity, and non-discrimination.

She’s sharing that friends of hers from marginalized communities face harassment and violence at school.

INCLUDING HAVING FOOD THROWN AT THEM AT SCHOOL.

My heart just broke.

Barb is unmoved and they are moving on with their meeting. What a fucking absolute monster she is. Frank is now rambling on as if that girl didn’t just stand before them, voice trembling, speaking her truth of heart-breaking cruelty happening IN THEIR SCHOOLS.

I want to scream.

@Luv2Disrupt

I could barely continue watching.

Thank god for @Luv2Disrupt acknowledging that student right now.

She continues, making sure to state the importance of that student feeling heard. My god how did we fail to keep this board member, Chandler?

1/ Hey #Chandler let’s not let this slide, huh? And let’s also refuse to accept there was nothing they could do.

If they can’t figure out how to run a school district AND show compassion/empathy for children at the same time, they have no business occupying those chairs.

2/ Pls go watch this child’s entire address in the thread above, & see how terribly she was treated. Here, we’ll revisit a key line:
“I’m here today to urge you to specifically redefine goals for equity and non discrimination in the 2023 political agenda.”

This. Really. Matters.

3/ And in case you think Board Pres Mozdzen was having a quiet night, just a few racist minutes before that student spoke she was all smiles & giggles basking in the glory of all the CUSD awards/scholarships/sunshine/rainbows they were all-too-happy to display earlier that mtg.

1/🧵 Attention #Chandler. If you’re wondering what type of people are running our schools, please watch how Board President Barb Mozdzen and Superintendent @FrankNarducci responded to the following heart-wrenching address from a CUSD student at tonight’s meeting…

2/ 🧵 I’ve cut the clip to remove her name and school. People have been unbelievably shitty towards children who have spoken at these meetings. (Yes, I’m well aware that it’s still [all those things]. If you’re here to critique that keep moving.)

3/ 🧵 She begins by thanking the board and saying “Good evening. My name is ______ and I’m a sophomore at ______.” She then goes into an address that is beyond heart-breaking. I’m not sure what else to even say other than TW: bullying/harassment/violence/bigotry/everything ugly.

1/🧵(Full-disclosure: I have a LOT of HW to do here as I just became aware of this situation today. For ex: Why did I just become aware of this situation today????)

Earlier, I came across this thread from Pima County Recorder Cázares-Kelly:

https://twitter.com/gabriellackelly/status/1511368653152743427

2/🧵 I decided to look into what she was describing. Not because I didn’t believe her - I do, and you should too - but because THIS is the sort of white supremacist bullshit that she is up against.

Sorry- what was that?

The additional work her office has to do is important???

@PimaDems

3/🧵 Psst!!! THE FUCKING WHITE SUPREMACY IS IMPORTANT, @PimaDems.

This should go without saying except before you were worried about the extra work this was making for her office, your knee-jerk reaction was to kool-aid man yourselves in, concerned w/ defending… you. So… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am a white woman who has personally witnessed racism/white supremacy in action w/in the Dem party. I’ve also witnessed elected party officials ignore, gaslight, & even attack those who speak out against racism/white supremacy.

I believe every word of this 🧵and you should too.

https://twitter.com/GabriellaCKelly/status/1511368653152743427

I’m also zero interested in entertaining or keeping space for comments concerned about “in-fighting” “circular firing squads” “blue no matter who” etc.

Concern yourselves with this white supremacy or keep moving.

I have also personally witnessed the Dem party respond w/ “what omg that’s terrible!” followed by pretending to care followed by doing absolutely nothing about inexcusable behaviors. The response detailed in this thread is disappointing but not at all surprising.

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.
