Teachers and Counselors should NOT suggest putting children on a transgender support plan but that is happening. Parents will not be notified. This is the meeting last night. I was prohibited from talking to the district lawyer under "legal advice."
AZ School Counselors Association training wants you to "gain a tolerance for ambiguity in ethical decision making," protect minors secrets, & engage in "abortion counseling." This is NOT the role or purpose of the academic counselor & schools cannot withhold info from parents.
1/This is being shown to High School kids at Red Mountain. It teaches Communism as an ideal that has yet to be achieved. This is the garbage they taught me in graduate school and it's why I left academia.
Exxon takes shareholders to court over shareholders demand for ESG related goals. Exxon says activist shareholders hope to constrain its business rather than increase shareholder value, and that they seek to "micromanage" company business.
1. Elementary school teachers at Mesa Public Schools were forced into this training, mandatory or face disciplinary action. There is nothing here to improve the achievement of our students. The district has psychologists and social workers - why would this be teacher training?
"Achieving the climate goals set by the world's governments would require adding or refurbishing 50 million miles of power lines by 2040." A below ground line is $10+ million a mile. So we all need to pay 500,000,000,000,000 just for the power lines.
Got one for myself and maybe a few others for some school officials in my district. If you want to understand what has been happening in education this is a must read.

Nope that's not a Congressional budget bill, I filed my signatures today! All 12,238 of them. That's 73% above the minimum to qualify from ALL 15 counties. Thank you to everyone who helped!! I will do a supplemental file next week for any remaining signatures.
Mesa, who will secretly put a child on a transgender support plan and not tell the parents, is now in a position to tell you that your child needs mental health counseling and they can provide it right there at school.
Your taxpayer dollars are being used to buy $500 Lego sets because partisan politicians refuse to place limits on school vouchers.
It is time to end this wasteful, runaway spending by passing real accountability & transparency measures. ⬇️
Thank you for your tremendous support, Arizona!! The Republican team pulled more votes than the Democrats in their respective Primary. Onward to November!!
AZ has roughly the same number of students now as in 2008; however, the legislative budget for education is now TWICE as high, while proficiency rates have steadily declined. In districts like Mesa, proficiency has been cut in half since 2013. The more money spent on education,
WOW. Maryland Equity Leader Kayla Aliese Carter supports “Black liberation” through revolutionary means and said she is working with some activists to plan “how we will eat and live and grow after we burn it all down.”
Mesa has had a transgender support plan since 2015 (my term started 2023). Last year it was discovered that one of the forms involved denied parental knowledge, which is illegal in AZ.
Are we that far off from, smile for your government? Utah Gov Cox signs a bill for digital verifiable credentials, and the feds buy up the data from big tech.

When Universities expel students who won't write what they want those students can never become professors. So all your professors are those who submit. Higher learning indeed.

Does no one remember 2020? Comparing these two men is a joke. Trump signed an executive order for eviction moratoriums. People lost property since they couldn't collect rent on it because big gov said so. Many elderly in AZ use rental income as their retirement.

for your bipartisan work to get this done! This will no doubt make it easier for Arizona’s already robust advanced manufacturing ecosystem to keep growing, creating good-paying jobs and solidifying our future in tech innovation in the process.
There is no other process that involves plans, paperwork for children without parental consent. But this issue can't even provide parental notification?

The real subtlety in this is the teacher training - they bring it into the classroom outside of the curriculum. This was a teacher training in my district from 2018. Seems they have been building up to this.

Mesa Public Schools continues to operate Transgender guidelines that allow students to use lockers, bathrooms, overnight facilities on gender identity. These guidelines were never approved by the board. 🧵
Every school board meeting I attended as a participant we were NEVER allowed to have signs in the board room. But the teacher union got a pass last night. Double standards create mistrust
@mpsaz
Union organizations destroy education and parent rights. The Mesa Education Association and Administration is packing the board meetings to ensure people only get 45 seconds to speak. They were told to go and say anything to waste time. A counselor confirmed this will continue.
This is unacceptable and just stupid. A Mesa High math teacher repeatedly declares "Hail Satan" to students, even after a student asks him not to. Is this inclusion

🧵 1. Last year, the MPS board unanimously voted to move some of our elementary schools to a K-8 model. I was proud to be part of this vote. Research shows that students who remain at their elementary school for 7/8 grades perform better than in the traditional junior high model.

The avg teacher salary for Mesa Public Schools for the current year is $66,608, whereas the avg salary in the city of Mesa is $47,001. The avg teacher salary in AZ is $53,660. The board has continued to support teacher pay increases to attract and retain top skills for the

Biological girls and boys are guaranteed separate but equal facilities on biological sex under federal law Title IX. The district has no authority to determine guidelines that relate to policies and procedures to govern the schools.
Compassionate Systems Awareness makes children purposefully feel hunger pangs in school to teach them to become political activists in first grade! Watch out for this social engineering in public schools. This is why so many of us are opposed to Social Emotional Learning.

"Compassionate Systems Awareness" combines social emotional learning mindfulness techniques, physical deprivation and psychological manipulation to get children to become activists for leftist political causes.
Is this school or a POW camp?
Title IX guarantees separate but equal spaces for boys vs girls but now we're expected to toss those rights? As courts trample over legislation our State came together to protect girl's sports. Now people are trampling over that law. I'm glad our SPI is a lawyer!
Superintendent Horne is defending Arizona state law which bans biological boys from competing in girl's sports.
#TitleIX
was created for equal opportunities for female athletes, and allowing males to compete in women's sports undermines everything these athletes have fought for.
So glad this was signed into law. Can't believe it had to be done. This law deems a person subject to registration as a sex offender ineligible for election or appointment to a school district governing board.

School districts buy all sorts of tech and gadgets. The difference is that it is your money and the government owns it. But on ESA it's your money and you own it. Opposers of ESAs basically want to maintain the monopoly of government ownership over things bought by the tax payer.
