1/🧵 Matt Young needs to step down from the #CUSD race. Here’s why.

If you haven’t yet watched the @SecularAZ candidate forum from earlier this week, go do that:

fb.watch/cKwE28SoV2/
2/🧵 Matt was unable to answer even basic questions about recent developments in CUSD, even some of the most explosive ones.

Early on, he shared that he decided to run in February after seeing too much that he didn’t like.

So presumably he was really dialed-in in February…
3/🧵 Except the KB policy disaster boiled over at the Feb 9 mtg:

When asked about it, Matt

✅ didn’t seem to know what it was
✅hadn’t done anything about it
✅ hoped it wouldn’t affect his son
✅ said “the board sits under the superintendent” 😬
4/🧵 Listen. I know some of y’all know his mom or whatever. Maybe he’s a delightful dude to hang out with. But this guy could not answer BASIC questions about CUSD. He could not mention a single anti-education bill which concerns him, he repeatedly contradicted himself…
5/🧵…especially with regards to whether or not we need to respect teachers more, or police teachers more.😳

So look I’m not gonna waste a lot of time on this. It’s a no-brainer. Watch the forum. If, like me you get some unnerving, “parents rights”-ish, dog-whistle-ey vibes…
6/🧵 … from either what he said at the forum, or what’s on his website…
7/🧵 … we might know the reason for that.

HARD. FUCKING. PASS. FULL. STOP.
8/🧵 Anyone new here?
9/🧵Ok I can’t actually skip this. Y’all need to see this.

After repeatedly failing to show basic knowledge or understanding of really important stuff (yes, stuff - this one doesn’t get big words), this happened.

This was immediately following the KB policy question.
10/🧵 And now I, too, will bid you an abrupt adieu. I don’t have kids to put to bed, I just have other stuff to do besides beat a dead horse.

If we even have to ask “is this meh candidate a P4P plant?”… y’all, just no. 👋🏼

(Don’t forget my mention of policing teachers.)

1/🧵 Marilou Estes needs to step down from the #CUSD race. Here’s why.

If you haven’t yet watched the @SecularAZ candidate forum from earlier this week, go do that:

fb.watch/cKwE28SoV2/
2/🧵 It was an excellent opportunity for EVERY (yup, every) candidate for CUSD to show us who they are, and what they’re about.

And every single one of them did…
3/🧵 Kurt and Charlotte RSVP’d that they were busy or whatever.

Patti Serrano, Crystal Markowski, and Matt Young participated.

Marilou Estes did not participate or reply to the invite. It would seem that perhaps she just wasn’t interested, except…

Attn #Chandler !

We need to talk.

It would be impossible to overstate the significance of this upcoming #CUSD election. We will either unlock the potential for amazing things to happen, or we will welcome in immeasurable harm.

There are things that just need to be said.
Y’all might not like what I’m about to say. You can think the honesty is rude. You can even be mad about it. But I pay VERY close/careful attention to what’s going on w/ #CUSD board/admin. So if you want to say I’m wrong, please make sure you have what you need to back that up.
Whether these are easy or hard for y’all to accept, they are all true & all need to be said.

re: #CUSD election & the potential for amazing things

Patti Serrano & Crystal Markowsky are both fantastic. They are undeniably the best candidates, & the ones we need on that board.

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.

@ChandlerUnified board meeting starts in just a few mins!

Watch live here:



(ps NO written comments submitted this week.)
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!)

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:
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???
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… 🤷🏻‍♀️
