1
00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:08,830
I'd like to call this meeting, um, call this regular board meeting to order at 5.15 p.m.

2
00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:10,830
Christina, would you please call the roll?

3
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:12,750
Baines.

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:13,190
Here.

5
00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:13,750
Grant.

6
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:14,290
Present.

7
00:00:14,590 --> 00:00:14,990
Hardin.

8
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:15,450
Present.

9
00:00:15,730 --> 00:00:16,050
Heredia.

10
00:00:16,610 --> 00:00:16,850
Here.

11
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:17,410
Kaplan.

12
00:00:17,630 --> 00:00:17,850
Here.

13
00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:19,010
All right.

14
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:23,150
So NUS board meetings are live streamed and recorded at the direction of the board.

15
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:28,330
The live stream is available for viewing at natomasunified.org, board of trustees,

16
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:34,610
and the recordings will be available for viewing the day after the board meeting.

17
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:39,150
Those in attendance here this evening should expect that the recordings will

18
00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:43,430
capture all activity and discussions before, during, and after meetings.

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,320
At this time the board will be going into closed session to discuss the

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,080
superintendent's evaluation.

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Are there any people wishing, is there anybody wishing to address this item?

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,320
All right, seeing none, Christina, do we receive any e-comments for any of the closed session items?

23
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:07,120
We did not receive e-comments for any closed session items.

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,380
Then at this time we will return about approximately 5.30 p.m.

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Okay, so we are reconvening this meeting at 5.36 p.m.

26
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:25,000
and I will ask Christina to please call the roll.

27
00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:33,420
All right.

28
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:39,520
And then Trustee Hardin, could you please leave us in the Pledge of Allegiance?

29
00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:43,790
Okay.

30
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:45,990
All right.

31
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:47,110
Trustee Grant.

32
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:48,090
All right.

33
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:57,770
Ready to pledge a pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and

34
00:01:57,770 --> 00:02:02,830
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

35
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:13,940
Okay, this evening, no action was taken in closed session.

36
00:02:15,020 --> 00:02:17,600
So this evening we plan to recognize,

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,180
we had planned to recognize our Natomas Unified Teachers

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,040
of the Year and our 2020-2021 district teacher of the year.

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920
We will be rescheduling tonight's recognition

40
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,400
for a future board meeting.

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,660
Thank you to all our teachers of the year for your commitment to NUSD students.

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,520
We look forward to celebrating each of you at a future board meeting.

43
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:53,380
In addition, we will be moving our Hispanic celebration month to a future meeting as

44
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:59,500
well and as the other, as as always, we look forward to celebrating this occasion.

45
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:06,520
In addition, we will also be postponing Action Item A on tonight's agenda, and the superintendent

46
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,960
will make a statement when we get to his agenda-sized communication time.

47
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:21,680
At this time, I entertain a motion to approve the amended agenda removing celebrations

48
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,500
B and C, and action item A.

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,960
I'll move the amendment or move the agenda as amended.

50
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,860
Okay, move by Trustee Kaplan.

51
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:31,360
Second.

52
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:33,420
Second by Trustee Grant.

53
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:35,020
Christina, would you call the roll please?

54
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Baines?

55
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:36,420
Aye.

56
00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:36,900
Grant?

57
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:37,520
Aye.

58
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:38,120
Cardin?

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,620
Aye.

60
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:39,060
Peredia?

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:39,800
Aye.

62
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:40,280
Kaplan?

63
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:40,860
Aye.

64
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:42,920
Motion carries.

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,540
5-0.

66
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,780
So tonight we do have a celebration

67
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:50,240
that we're gonna follow through on.

68
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:56,460
And we are going to be celebrating the swearing in of our new student board member.

69
00:03:56,980 --> 00:04:02,120
I'm proud to introduce and welcome Nisma Wali Ali.

70
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400
For members of the public viewing this meeting,

71
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:10,800
a student board member plays an essential role by casting a preferential vote on this board.

72
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640
The preferential vote is a symbol of student opinion.

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:25,360
This year, Indercom High School had the opportunity to select a student representative to serve on the Board of Trustees for 2021 through 2022.

74
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:31,280
School year. Senior, Nesma Wali Ali was chosen.

75
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,880
So, Nezma was born and raised in Sacramento.

76

77

She lives with her parents and sister who is currently gearing up for law school.

79
00:04:55,620 --> 00:05:02,200
school. Her favorite subjects in school have always been the humanities, in large part because

80
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,480

She was also a contributor on the Mayor's Climate Change Equity Technical Advisory Committee

89
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,340
and recipient of the Nancy and Cliff Forrester Lifelong Learner Award.

90
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:11,720
After graduation, she hopes to cultivate her passion for community betterment and

91
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,680
service by attaining a bachelor's degree and attending law school.

92
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:24,140
school. Nesma is interested in public interest law and helping to create a positive impact

93
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:31,720
by fighting for civil rights and advocating for disenfranchised communities through legislation.

94
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:38,660
We are all welcome you, Nesma, and now we make you official. Please join me on the stage

95
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:41,440
so we can administer the oath of justice to

96
00:07:02,530 --> 00:07:03,870
make sure you don't make Mr. Wallach.

97
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,460
So I, oh you have to raise your hand.

98
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:16,540
I, Nesma Wally Ali.

99
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,480
I, Nesma Wally Ali.

00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,580
Do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

101
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,620
Do solemnly swear that I will defend and support the Constitution of the United States.

102
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:33,480
And the Constitution of the State of California.

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States

106

that I will bear true allegiance to the Constitution of the United States

107
00:07:54,260 --> 00:07:59,920
and the Constitution of the state of California

108
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:08,180
that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of

109
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:20,220
evasion and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon

00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:22,060

111
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,260
Discharge the duties upon which I'm about to enter.

112
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,120
Congratulations.

113
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:27,240
Thank you.

114
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:28,540
Go

115
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,340
ahead.

116
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:36,720
Go ahead.

117
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,940
Go ahead.

118
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,480
OK.

119
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,100
OK.

120
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:53,060
OK.

121
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:58,880
OK.

122
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:15,210
OK.

123
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,350
We can come up with a little bit of how to do it.

124
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:19,470
Yeah.

125
00:09:20,010 --> 00:09:20,530
Yeah.

126
00:09:20,830 --> 00:09:21,010
Right.

127
00:09:21,830 --> 00:09:22,510
How are you doing?

128
00:09:23,170 --> 00:09:23,690
Yes.

129
00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:27,570
It's amazing how it came out of here.

130
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:29,590
Not for everybody.

131
00:09:30,910 --> 00:09:32,130
I want to grab that.

132
00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:32,770
No, no, no.

133
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:33,490
No.

134
00:09:33,850 --> 00:09:34,230
No.

135
00:09:35,050 --> 00:09:35,570
No.

136
00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:36,070
No.

137
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:36,950
No.

138
00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:37,710
No.

139
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:38,050
No.

140
00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:20,650
So we're going to get a chance to hear from her a little bit, a little bit, oh, very soon.

141
00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:21,630
I think a little bit later.

142
00:10:23,390 --> 00:10:35,910
So I'm moving on now to, let me say, I'm moving on to the communications and our Association

143
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:42,530
President for CSEA and NTA were given the opportunity to either provide their communication

144
00:10:42,530 --> 00:10:48,610
in person or submit their communication via e-mail prior to the board meeting.

145
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:55,850
Is there anyone here this evening wishing to speak on behalf of either of those organizations?

146
00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:03,370
So, Christina, did we receive communication via email from the association reps?

147
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:05,930
We did not receive any communications via email.

148
00:11:06,070 --> 00:11:11,970
Okay. Then at this time, I'm going to call on our new student board member.

149
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:18,070
And I know she probably has some, she has something that she wants to share with us.

150
00:11:19,090 --> 00:11:26,130
Thank you. I want to extend my deepest appreciation for my appointment to this body and in this

151
00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:30,850
role I pledge to do my utmost to be an accurate and passionate voice for youth of this district,

152
00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:36,830
understanding that no student body is a model it, not one school let alone 21 that constitute

153
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:41,590
the Natomas Unified School District. I commit to be a voice for youth and youth interest

154
00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:46,030
on this board and be a vessel at these meetings for the wants and needs of students belonging

155
00:11:46,030 --> 00:11:51,450
to this district. Youth input in matters that affect us is an integral part of what I plan to

156
00:11:51,450 --> 00:11:56,130
work towards in this position and would like to express again my excitement and eagerness to begin.

157
00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:58,670
Thank you. Thank you.

158
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:06,530
All right. Moving on to the trustees. Trustee Baines,

159
00:12:06,770 --> 00:12:11,470
do you have anything you'd like to share this evening? No report. Nassima, welcome to the

160
00:12:11,470 --> 00:12:17,750
board. Look forward to working with you. All right. Thank you. Trustee Grant? No report.

161
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:20,350
It's going to be a privilege to serve with you.

162
00:12:21,710 --> 00:12:22,590
Trustee Hardin?

163
00:12:23,510 --> 00:12:27,370
No report, and I too think it's going to be a pleasure to work with you. Congratulations.

164
00:12:29,150 --> 00:12:29,990
Trustee Kaplan?

165
00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:33,630
No report, and ditto. Welcome.

166
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:42,190
And for me also, I have no report, but we are so excited to have you serve on this board.

167
00:12:42,190 --> 00:12:43,530
All right.

168
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:45,110
Superintendent Evans.

169
00:12:45,890 --> 00:12:46,750
Thank you.

170
00:12:47,230 --> 00:12:52,610
This afternoon we announced the teacher who has been the source of media coverage these last two days

171
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:58,610
was placed on paid leave because of his actions and choices in the classroom.

172
00:12:59,290 --> 00:13:06,170
The Thomas Unified will be taking the legally required next steps to place the teacher on unpaid leave and terminate the teacher.

173
00:13:06,690 --> 00:13:10,530
The Thomas Unified supports individual freedoms and freedoms of expression.

174
00:13:10,530 --> 00:13:16,010
question. This case is not about that. The totality of classroom decisions and choices

175
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:22,570
made by the teacher violated district policies, state education code, and broke a trust with

176
00:13:22,570 --> 00:13:27,510
our students and families that they expect history, social studies teachers to teach

177
00:13:27,510 --> 00:13:33,210
civics without bias or favoring their own personal beliefs. They must share facts

178
00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:39,030
and information around differing perspectives as well. Our communication today outlined

179
00:13:39,030 --> 00:13:42,590
what we had learned by midday through midday today.

180
00:13:43,330 --> 00:13:45,930
When you take the totality of the teacher's actions,

181
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:49,570
it made the district's next steps necessary.

182
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,930
Also, as per the action item,

183
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:54,610
I appreciate the President's support

184
00:13:54,610 --> 00:13:57,410
for allowing me to pull action item A.

185
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:59,570
Tonight is not the right time.

186
00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:01,710
Natomas Unified has other priorities.

187
00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:04,530
And I would also like to say congratulations,

188
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:06,570
Nesma, and welcome aboard.

189
00:14:06,570 --> 00:14:15,050
Thank you. Superintendent Evans. So members of the public this evening were given the

190
00:14:15,050 --> 00:14:21,410
opportunity to attend this board meeting in person or to give public comment or submit

191
00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:30,230
public comments via e-comment at public comment at Natomasunify.org. Please note that presentations

192
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:49,350
from the public are limited to two minutes regarding any items that is that is within the board's subject matters jurisdiction and that governance code section 5, 4, 9, 5, 4, 2, a limits the ability of board members to respond to public comments.

193
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:56,350
So, I have a lot of green slips here this evening.

194
00:14:56,650 --> 00:14:59,310
Christina, do we have anything that you'd like to share?

195
00:14:59,310 --> 00:14:59,910
that was re

196
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:10,820
We have received a couple of e-comments. We received an e-comment from Rosalind Bell in

197
00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:17,360
regards to the support for the work being done by Dr. Akonafua. And then we received public

198
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,960
comments from the following individuals in regards to a teacher at Indercom High School.

199
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:31,620
Donnie Payne, Jennifer Maloney, Jackie Carrera, Julie Miller, Harry Domi, Doug

200
00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:39,660
Swire, Sony Phillips, Abel Para, Cassandra Gaines, Alexis Miller, Lisa Steiner,

201
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:47,400
Anna Christensen, Sergio Weekly, and Padres Organized Community. I've also

202
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,520
seen a couple just come through, so those will be forwarded to trustees

203
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080
included in the minutes as well as all the ones I just read.

204
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,700
Thank you, Christina.

205
00:15:58,370 --> 00:16:08,550
So ladies and gentlemen, I have these requests to speak in person to us before the board.

206
00:16:09,330 --> 00:16:13,610
And you are given two minutes to speak before the board.

207
00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:16,730
We ask that you please follow that guideline.

208
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:22,470
and I will also call people up in the quarter

209
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:25,610
that these forms were received.

210
00:16:26,830 --> 00:16:30,490
If I mispronounce your name, I apologize in advance.

211
00:16:32,490 --> 00:16:35,490
Some people I can read your writing, others I can't,

212
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:38,830
but I will do my very best to make sure

213
00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:39,950
that all of you get a chance.

214
00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:42,890
So I'm gonna call out the first three names

215
00:16:42,890 --> 00:16:45,330
so that you can make your way to the podium

216
00:16:45,330 --> 00:16:57,770
if you are out in the hall. So Timothy, I believe it's Snowball, Lance Christensen, and Mr. Gomez,

217
00:16:59,390 --> 00:17:06,550
and Richard both both finger. All right, thank you Richard.

218
00:17:09,050 --> 00:17:11,250
So in that order that I called your

219
00:17:11,250 --> 00:17:12,410
Thank you.

220
00:17:13,230 --> 00:17:14,010
Good afternoon.

221
00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:14,450
I

222
00:18:21,140 --> 00:18:22,460
think they're political questions.

223
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,880
How can we explain this shift?

224
00:18:25,580 --> 00:18:30,260
I think the situation is best explained by the current operation of public sector labor unions

225
00:18:30,260 --> 00:18:34,280
like the Natomas Teachers Association and the larger California Teachers Association

226
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,400
with which it is affiliated.

227
00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:41,200
These entities no longer consider themselves organizations advocating for the wages, hours,

228
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,020
and working conditions of their members,

229
00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:50,280
but rather as social justice organizations pushing a radical agenda to tear down and fundamentally transform American society.

230
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:57,440
The board should immediately take all actions necessary to ensure that classrooms in this district in the future, not just the past,

231
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:05,360
remain free of the political agendas of individual teachers and labor unions, and that children here receive an education rather than an indoctrination.

232
00:19:05,780 --> 00:19:06,100
Thank you.

233
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,000
So

234
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:23,380
Mr. Christensen just before you speak can you see that I cannot see the the

235
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:31,700
monitor that they're okay I right how I lie I already lie I'm oh okay we can't

236
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:39,380
see it the green yellow for his friend trustee Heredia I know this may be

237
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:43,580
unpopular but I would like to request as it is required of all of our students

238
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:47,120
and staff that everybody in this room wear a mask for my safety and my

239
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,360
children safety if they're up here and speaking

240
00:19:53,270 --> 00:20:00,370
I

241
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,940
will say this is that if you

242
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:13,100
have a mask and if you are concerned about your own safety and those around

243
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:21,720
you that you that you please put on a mask to protect those okay all right go

244
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:21,920
Go ahead.

245
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,620
Thank you for your time, Board President, Board members,

246
00:20:26,060 --> 00:20:27,040
and Superintendent Evans.

247
00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:27,900
I appreciate it.

248
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:30,180
We're gathered here today because we

249
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:33,740
have teachers who have decided to become indoctrineres

250
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:35,080
and not educators.

251
00:20:35,420 --> 00:20:36,100
And that's a challenge.

252
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,420
One of the challenges I saw tonight

253
00:20:39,420 --> 00:20:41,720
was that the teachers union decided not to show up

254
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,680
and defend this teacher.

255
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:45,480
The question is, how many other teachers and actions

256
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,380
have they defended in the past that have not

257
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:48,320
been appropriately dealt with?

258
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:51,560
I would encourage all teachers within the sound of my voice

259
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,800
to re-evaluate their membership within the New Thomas Teachers Association or the California

260
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,860
Teachers Association. These two organizations do more to harm the education of our kids

261
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,360
than most other organizations in the state. Going forward, I appreciate that you're working

262
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:14,120
through a thorough investigation into this teacher. I hope that it continues, but

263
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:18,360
I also hope that you look for those other teachers for which the previous teachers

264
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,600
indicated are in the school district and still teaching. We have got to give

265
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,900
parents a chance to choose for the best of their kids education and opportunities

266
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:32,460
for the future. Again you have scores of parents and certain citizens behind me

267
00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:37,220
and at the California Policy Center for which I work we're dedicated to helping

268
00:21:37,220 --> 00:21:41,180
those that don't want to be a part of their union to leave. You can go to

269
00:21:41,180 --> 00:21:46,220
mypaymysay.com and leave your union and save your money and save our

270
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:47,480
children. Thank you for your time.

271
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:04,520
Was it paisley? Thank you, that's okay.

272
00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:07,420
I speak for

273
00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:12,060
my son and any child who doesn't have a parent to be their voice. What has been exposed about

274
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:16,220
Gabriel Guy by Project Veritas is exactly what I was concerned about happening at Babcock

275
00:22:16,220 --> 00:22:21,360
Elementary, Twin Rivers Unified School District, who was and is not allowing parents or

276
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:27,380
guardians on campus. As educators, your job is academics, not morals, not values,

277
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:30,940
religion, political ideology, or anything outside of academics.

278
00:22:32,260 --> 00:22:37,600
We have 24 Sacramento students who are abandoned in Afghanistan.

279
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,400
You guys are sitting here saying you have somebody preaching communism on paid leave.

280
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,880
Do those lives mean nothing to you?

281
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:52,540
What will you say to those children's peers who are asking, where are my friends?

282
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,160
When are they coming home?

283
00:22:54,780 --> 00:23:01,520
And you stand by this man preaching Antifa and Communism in our classrooms, a disgrace.

284
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:07,980
Any teacher or staff pushing anti-American hateful or political agendas against America

285
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,780
on our students, families, or communities, we want you out.

286
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,440
Now, not paid leave and not in a week or two.

287
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,260
Now,

288
00:23:24,150 --> 00:23:29,570
Sacramento is not a city that raises our children on hate, racism, or a victim mentality.

289
00:23:29,570 --> 00:23:37,390
We raise our children to be strong, independent and to stand up for what's right and to speak up when it is time to speak up like now.

290
00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:44,930
God rest our troops who we have lost in Afghanistan. God bless our citizens and allies still trapped in Afghanistan.

291
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:49,690
We are praying for your safety and protection and may God be with us all.

292
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:52,030
I

293
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,720
want to commend the board for taking the right action and terminating this guy.

294
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:11,720
The board needs to take notice that the parents in this district want their kids taught skills

295
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:18,700
and knowledge that will help them to be productive members of this society and of this country

296
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:25,900
to whom we have just finished pledging our allegiance to, not to be disruptors and to

297
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:32,280
participate in the overthrow of their parents' values or the values of the founding of

298
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,880
the United States of America.

299
00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:37,780
Having had this man's blatant abuse of his position

300
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,320
go on for the last several years that he's been here,

301
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:49,240
casts a shadow of doubt over the management

302
00:24:49,890 --> 00:24:53,220
of who's hiring and who's evaluating what's

303
00:24:53,220 --> 00:24:54,540
going on in our classroom.

304
00:24:54,980 --> 00:24:57,520
And I want to exhort the board members

305
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:05,580
members to pay much closer attention to the core purpose that this district was founded

306
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:09,480
for and that is to educate our kids, not to indoctrinate them.

307
00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:13,350
Thank you.

308
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:37,810
Okay, Richard Gilbert, Monique Hopeman, Jennifer Lane, and Pratt, I'm sorry, I'm trying to

309
00:25:37,810 --> 00:25:42,630
We just P.R. Barrettus, Barrettus, Barrettus.

310
00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:43,950
Project, Barrettus.

311
00:25:44,030 --> 00:25:45,190
Project, I'm sorry.

312
00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:48,330
I just, I'm trying to, I recognize that,

313
00:25:48,490 --> 00:25:49,750
but I wasn't, I'm trying to,

314
00:25:50,150 --> 00:25:51,610
didn't know if you put another name in front of there.

315
00:25:51,710 --> 00:25:52,230
I couldn't see it.

316
00:25:59,060 --> 00:25:59,800
Good evening.

317
00:26:00,220 --> 00:26:01,140
My name is Richard Gilbert.

318
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,800
I'm an autonomous unified parent.

319
00:26:04,340 --> 00:26:07,080
Some of my best experiences in high school

320
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:09,500
were discussing current events

321
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,300
and social issues in my classes.

322
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,800
But not once, not once did I ever know

323
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,380
how my teacher felt about those things.

324
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,240
I had my suspicions, everyone's human,

325
00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:20,640
but I never knew if he was a Republican or Democrat

326
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,640
or if she was conservative or liberal.

327
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:23,640
I didn't know.

328
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,300
And that's the type of discussion I expect

329
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,780
in our social studies classes in this district.

330
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,120
I've heard like everyone anecdotes around the country

331
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,380
of left-wing indoctrination in schools

332
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:36,900
and people would always tell me,

333
00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:38,760
oh, that's just an isolated incident.

334
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,580
and don't worry about it.

335
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,860
Well, it's hit home for me now.

336
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:50,220
And I'd like to say that I'm glad the board has taken

337
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:53,260
this action to start the process to fire this individual.

338
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,100
I know it's not something that can be done overnight.

339
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,600
But this does not begin and end with him.

340
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,460
He was enabled for years.

341
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,620
Complaints were filed and nothing was done.

342
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,640
And people bear responsibility for that, whether it's the principals, whether it's administration,

343
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:14,260
whoever.

344
00:27:14,740 --> 00:27:19,300
And I ask for a full investigation to root this out, not just from Intercom High School,

345
00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:20,240
but from this district.

346
00:27:28,030 --> 00:27:32,010
I will not stand by and allow my rights as a parent to be trampled.

347
00:27:32,530 --> 00:27:33,670
I have to be here today.

348
00:27:34,450 --> 00:27:38,830
And this is not limited just for your information.

349
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,550
It is not limited to Intercom High School.

350
00:27:41,130 --> 00:27:45,170
with absolutely no warning, my daughter, who's a junior at MP3 high school,

351
00:27:45,570 --> 00:27:50,490
was told that her constitutional law class this year would be changed to social justice.

352
00:27:53,230 --> 00:27:57,310
No parent input was given whatsoever. I contacted the teacher.

353
00:27:58,110 --> 00:28:00,490
I was assured that critical race theory would not be taught.

354
00:28:00,770 --> 00:28:05,270
I was told that my, okay, I'll wrap it up, thank you,

355
00:28:05,470 --> 00:28:08,110
that this would not be an issue, but it has become one.

356
00:28:08,110 --> 00:28:15,970
And I just would like to end by saying this young woman tonight took an oath to defend the Constitution and to rid this country of enemies foreign and domestic.

357
00:28:16,270 --> 00:28:18,550
I ask that all of you do the same. Thank you.

358
00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:19,670
I'm

359
00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:38,490
Monique Hawkman. We have been quiet for too long about you trying to take our whites away as parents.

360
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:46,390
We were silent when you took away our medical and religious exemptions away for vaccinations and when they became mandatory for our kids to attend school.

361
00:28:46,390 --> 00:28:50,050
We were silent when you mandated these masks on our children.

362
00:28:50,530 --> 00:28:57,730
When the CDPH and Cal OSHA knows that at maximum they're 10% effective.

363
00:28:58,710 --> 00:29:03,830
We were silent and some unaware when you began mentioning sexual preferences in kindergarten.

364
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:11,690
We have been silent when you began teaching explicit sexual education in eighth grade

365
00:29:11,690 --> 00:29:14,610
and not giving us this information ahead of time.

366
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:19,570
High school. Kids are having sex in the bathroom at

367
00:29:19,570 --> 00:29:22,310
Endercom. They're vaping in the bathrooms at

368
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:26,670
Endercom. Four guns were at the football game the

369
00:29:26,670 --> 00:29:29,610
other night and you do not tell these parents anything.

370
00:29:29,970 --> 00:29:32,430
I know because I have a daughter there who tells me

371
00:29:32,430 --> 00:29:32,930
these things.

372
00:29:35,130 --> 00:29:37,830
Race is being taught. The first

373
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:40,330
day of school that my daughter goes, her teacher

374
00:29:40,330 --> 00:29:43,250
tells her that white is the worst race there is.

375
00:29:43,250 --> 00:29:47,890
They tell her that you cannot be racist against white people.

376
00:29:48,170 --> 00:29:50,030
This is just too much.

377
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:54,510
This man being fired is not everything that we want.

378
00:29:54,890 --> 00:29:56,530
We need our rights back as parents.

379
00:29:57,850 --> 00:29:59,970
And we need to know what you're going to do to...

380
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,260
Protect our rights and our children in the future.

381
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:03,680
Thank you.

382
00:30:18,090 --> 00:30:23,170
Thank you for allowing me to speak, and I also want to thank Project Veritas for exposing this,

383
00:30:23,270 --> 00:30:29,070
because without their agility, you guys would have done nothing

384
00:30:29,070 --> 00:30:31,750
because you did nothing when these students complained.

385
00:30:32,410 --> 00:30:37,130
And when a student complained, Mr. Geitz stood up before the class

386
00:30:37,130 --> 00:30:41,530
and bullied him and said that if this flag bothers you,

387
00:30:41,530 --> 00:30:44,470
You must be who it's supposed to bother.

388
00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:48,550
He told the students to put their photos up on the wall

389
00:30:48,550 --> 00:30:52,090
to identify their ideologies.

390
00:30:52,570 --> 00:30:55,730
Children do not come to school to identify their ideologies.

391
00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:58,250
They come to school to learn to become productive citizens.

392
00:30:58,850 --> 00:31:02,330
My brother graduated from intercom with the 3.9 GPA.

393
00:31:02,890 --> 00:31:05,590
He and his fellow peers right after graduation

394
00:31:05,590 --> 00:31:07,430
joined the United States Marine Corps.

395
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:13,690
And I cannot imagine that if that person taught my brother what path he would have been on

396
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:19,350
if he was brainwashed and indoctrinated in this crap that he is teaching, that you guys

397
00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:22,650
are paying him to teach, that we are paying him to teach.

398
00:31:23,070 --> 00:31:25,510
My brother is a proud Native American Marine.

399
00:31:26,030 --> 00:31:31,250
And my son says, the motto in the residential school was to kill the Indian and save the

400
00:31:31,250 --> 00:31:31,610
child.

401
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:35,830
Mr. Geith is killing the American child and saving communism.

402
00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:38,990
Is this a residential school or is this a public school?

403
00:31:56,530 --> 00:31:58,150
I'll be doing this a little bit differently.

404
00:31:58,550 --> 00:31:59,650
I'll just make an announcement.

405
00:32:00,050 --> 00:32:01,790
And what I'd like to do is ask a question

406
00:32:01,790 --> 00:32:04,890
and seed a little bit of my time for Superintendent Evans.

407
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:08,310
We've attempted to get comments from the school district.

408
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:12,030
We attempted on the day of our investigation.

409
00:32:12,490 --> 00:32:14,290
However, we were turned away.

410
00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:15,630
In fact, the police were called.

411
00:32:16,130 --> 00:32:18,310
So I have a couple of questions and it's simple.

412
00:32:18,730 --> 00:32:20,330
First, I think it's pretty clear

413
00:32:20,330 --> 00:32:25,170
that the current policies in place by the school district are not sufficient to monitor

414
00:32:25,170 --> 00:32:30,850
teachers curriculum. And my question is simply, are there going to be a change to those policies?

415
00:32:31,510 --> 00:32:38,130
And then my follow-up question, Superintendent Evans, is obviously this investigation created

416
00:32:38,130 --> 00:32:43,130
results. Obviously, you acted off of our investigation. My question is, are you happy

417
00:32:43,130 --> 00:32:44,370
that we exposed this?

418
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,820
Unfortunately, public comment doesn't allow me, as the President shared, to exchange.

419
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,100
I understand, sir. Hopefully...

420
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,600
Alright, so I think I noted earlier that...

421
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:12,940
If you're not willing to give a public comment now, I understand that based upon the rules of the Decorum.

422
00:33:13,420 --> 00:33:17,480
If you'd be willing to speak with us afterwards, I think that would do a lot to alleviate some of the concerns.

423
00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:20,600
I've noticed you gave an interview to the Sacramento Bee.

424
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,560
Hopefully you'll be open to speaking with us after this, we can contact you.

425
00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:28,740
Absolutely, I'd love to meet with you later this week. Absolutely.

426
00:33:29,540 --> 00:33:30,140
Moving

427
00:33:37,370 --> 00:33:38,970
on to the next set of speakers.

428
00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:44,290
So, Amir Deliri, Amir,

429
00:33:47,050 --> 00:33:47,810
okay.

430
00:33:48,130 --> 00:33:57,070
And then Sean McMurray, David Arya, and Jay Az.

431
00:33:57,070 --> 00:33:58,250
as, okay.

432
00:34:00,530 --> 00:34:01,890
Hello, members of the board.

433
00:34:02,010 --> 00:34:02,930
My name is Amir Deliri.

434
00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:04,530
I've got my 10-year-old son here.

435
00:34:04,890 --> 00:34:07,830
Now, he's also a student in the Natomas Unified School

436
00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:08,190
District.

437
00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:10,830
Everybody knows why we're here.

438
00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:14,150
The indoctrination of our kids is unacceptable.

439
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:16,970
There's a clear line in the sand that needs to be drawn.

440
00:34:18,850 --> 00:34:19,430
It's funny.

441
00:34:19,550 --> 00:34:23,250
I'm sitting here waiting for my turn to speak,

442
00:34:23,330 --> 00:34:24,510
and I see all the district goals.

443
00:34:24,610 --> 00:34:26,170
And it seems like that teacher has violated

444
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:30,410
every single one of those goals and it doesn't seem that there's been any

445
00:34:30,410 --> 00:34:35,310
accountability to the brave Project Veritas reporter who came to alert the

446
00:34:35,310 --> 00:34:37,510
school of child abuse that's happening.

447
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,840
I want to I want to quote Mr. Geips the

448
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,940
reporter asked you know how do you get the students to do this he said and I'm

449
00:34:48,940 --> 00:34:56,660
quoting I scare the fuck out of him okay that is child abuse and this not

450
00:34:56,660 --> 00:35:01,600
Not only does his termination need to be taken effective immediately, but I believe a criminal

451
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,160
investigation needs to happen immediately.

452
00:35:10,060 --> 00:35:11,700
More importantly is the accountability.

453
00:35:13,340 --> 00:35:20,700
If a reporter who comes and dawns press credentials and says, hey, we have a clear case of abuse,

454
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,940
we want to show you this video, and they're turned away and the cops are called on them,

455
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:30,740
you guys are public servants, you're taxpayer funded, we pay everything here.

456
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:31,540
right?

457
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,740
It really comes down to accountability. Who's monitoring the

458
00:35:39,740 --> 00:35:43,460
classroom environment? Who did somebody not go around and see the only two

459
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:45,760
flags that should be in a classroom are that one and that one.

460
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,220
I think we're all

461
00:35:52,220 --> 00:35:56,400
pretty disgusted with the politics that are going on these days. It does not need

462
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:02,700
to happen to my son who's headed to public high school or anybody else.

463
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,400
Thank you.

464
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:20,260
My name is David Aria. I live here in the community, and I was shocked when I

465
00:36:20,260 --> 00:36:25,340
saw this on the news. I don't even hardly know what to say. Teaching Communism in the public

466
00:36:25,340 --> 00:36:30,240
school system is complete. It's evil. It's nonsense. Okay. I've been to the former Soviet

467
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:34,380
Union seven times. I know what they do over there. I've worked with Communist refugees

468
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:39,260
for 40 years since I was 12 years old. I know what it means when an entire family

469
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:44,960
has blown to pieces and killed. Okay? That's where this is going. This is evil. It's darkness.

470
00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:51,500
It is hell. And these are criminals for abusing our children. They are principles. They are

471
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:57,320
principles. They are co-conspirators. They are accessories. And they are principles in

472
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,760
this crime. Okay? They need to be gone. All these people are criminals and you need

473
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:09,160
to treat them like criminals. All the principal, the vice principal, and the board has

474
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,580
to go I've heard that there's two other teachers teaching this evil in our

475
00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:18,660
schools there are a few three teachers that's evil little innocent children

476
00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:24,040
sitting here that I see I look in their faces they are pure innocence pure love

477
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,820
and these evil people are putting stuff into that okay this has got to stop

478
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:35,060
and all of you people out there your men ex-military ex-law enforcement

479
00:37:35,060 --> 00:37:40,820
current law enforcement, our next law enforcement, you need to be on the front lines every day.

480
00:37:41,180 --> 00:37:49,120
Protect those children. If you do not protect your child, there is no need to be alive.

481
00:37:49,420 --> 00:37:57,080
There is no need to even have the United States. Okay? Everybody, your neighbors need to be here.

482
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,780
Your relatives, everybody, there is no excuse for communism on American soil.

483
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:09,740
We need a criminal investigation, 273 subsection D. It's emotional damage.

484
00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:16,120
It's psychological damage. Look at the penal code. Federal, state, international law, all of it.

485
00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:20,040
I got 3,000 hours of current study. I know what I'm talking about.

486
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,580
How do

487
00:38:29,420 --> 00:38:33,760
you follow that? My name is Sean McBurry. I'm a parent of two students.

488
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:39,180
One graduated from Indracombe and had this man's class last year and my other son is currently going there.

489
00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:43,520
So I'm outraged, of course. I'm furious about this.

490
00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:46,300
I know the indoctrination in the schools have been going on a long time.

491
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:51,660
We know that the Antifa organization is no different than the brown shirts were

492
00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:54,580
for the National and Socialist Party before the Nazis came into power.

493
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:58,280
We know that. And the fact that you have such a pedestrian response

494
00:38:59,060 --> 00:39:01,920
to what has happened, like, oh, just by the book.

495
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:04,700
It's just, we just got to go by this section and that section.

496
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,580
What about principals? What about the kids who have followed this man's path

497
00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:12,540
Went up to Oregon maybe burned some buildings down there. What about them?

498
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:18,480
I haven't heard anything about that, you know, maybe we should get a class action lawsuit endangerment of a child

499
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,600
You know

500
00:39:21,420 --> 00:39:26,700
So I want to thank project veritas and as you guys sit up there behind your bureaucracy

501
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,940
You got I blame the leadership from the top down because that's where it is. It's not an isolated incident with this guy

502
00:39:33,940 --> 00:39:39,080
I've been in my child's classroom. I saw a Planned Parenthood sign. It wasn't Spanish.

503
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:44,160
I decided to bite my tongue. It was about four or five years ago, but it's no place for the classroom.

504
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,280
These kids are formative. It's time for them to start their individual creative thinking

505
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,740
and not follow some psycho and become a useful idiot for a communist party.

506
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,300
So the person that didn't come to the podium, Jay.

507
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:10,900
Where are you, Jay? Okay.

508
00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:21,570
So my name is Jay Ash. I was born and raised here.

509
00:40:22,070 --> 00:40:23,290
I've lived here all my life.

510
00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:25,990
I've got two grandsons that are getting ready to go in here to come.

511
00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:27,230
You feel this pain right here?

512
00:40:27,970 --> 00:40:28,910
It's not going away.

513
00:40:29,470 --> 00:40:32,250
The only question I got is, where does the fucking buck stop?

514
00:40:34,060 --> 00:40:35,680
This is bigger than one teacher.

515
00:40:36,460 --> 00:40:39,420
If this investigation doesn't expose everything,

516
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,120
and you aren't above the border and transparent,

517
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:44,100
I would challenge you to pick anybody out of here

518
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:46,000
to be on that investigative body.

519
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,540
You're not going to get it done.

520
00:40:49,020 --> 00:40:53,360
And we're not going to be satisfied. This isn't going away. This is going to get a lot bigger.

521
00:40:53,480 --> 00:41:01,040
And if you don't have more of this open discussions and revealing what's really going on in our schools,

522
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,800
it's going to get uglier. It's really going to get uglier.

523
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:09,740
There were so many red flags. The man had an Antifa flag behind his desk.

524
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,980
He had Chairman Mao in the fucking corner.

525
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,760
Are you kidding me? I hold administrators at that school.

526
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,540
I hold the person at heart. I was a correction officer. I retired from there.

527
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:26,120
They went all the way back to my junior high school. How far did you guys go back?

528
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,620
All you needed to look at is what a social community or clubs he belonged to.

529
00:41:34,570 --> 00:41:36,490
His tattoos probably told the story.

530
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:40,800
So where does the buck stop?

531
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Is it with you guys? Because if it is, you better do your job and you better get it right.

532
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,260
because you're not going to get a second chance.

533
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,020
We'll expose them all.

534
00:41:51,220 --> 00:41:51,380
All

535
00:42:00,460 --> 00:42:04,240
right, Elise McKenzie is the first person.

536
00:42:05,580 --> 00:42:12,900
And Rory, Rory Lowe, Brittany Johnson, Louise Ortega,

537
00:42:15,060 --> 00:42:19,700
and Josh Fuller and Chris Orr

538
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:23,660
in that order.

539
00:42:30,530 --> 00:42:30,850
Elise.

540
00:42:32,350 --> 00:42:33,030
All

541
00:42:36,230 --> 00:42:38,210
right, so let's go on to the next one.

542
00:42:41,130 --> 00:42:49,330
Okay, all right, so there she's raising her hand. Okay, please come forward. Yes, here

543
00:42:49,330 --> 00:42:50,270
she is. Okay.

544
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:05,540
Thank you for hearing me. I need to remove my mask to speak. I was frankly

545
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:12,820
mortified when I saw that video. I tried to put myself in the place of a young student

546
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:18,340
returning to school after a couple years of isolation and just the horrible things, the

547
00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:27,300
isolation and the lack of social contact. I tried to imagine myself as that student

548
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:33,380
returning to classroom and meeting this teacher. He's a bully, he's not teaching,

549
00:43:33,380 --> 00:43:36,360
what kids need to hear, what kids need to learn.

550
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,720
He's not teaching for the student.

551
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,340
He's teaching for himself.

552
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:43,520
Half of these teachers that are in there,

553
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:45,860
you guys should really, really take a long look at.

554
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,580
They're teaching, they're crap.

555
00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:50,080
They're teaching what, it's their agenda.

556
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,900
It's not what kids need to hear.

557
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,480
It's not what kids should be learning.

558
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:56,720
It's socialism, it's communism.

559
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:57,960
It's beyond that.

560
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,600
The flags he had on the wall,

561
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:00,640
we've talked about that.

562
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,680
He's had murderers on his wall.

563
00:44:04,380 --> 00:44:07,060
My family tree holds two murdered police officers.

564
00:44:07,820 --> 00:44:12,960
My nephew just flew the last C-17 out of Afghanistan and my son's out on Cal Farr.

565
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:18,400
So I know what I'm saying when, what America means to us, to our family and to these

566
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,080
kids, it is something special.

567
00:44:20,940 --> 00:44:23,620
We cannot have it be trod down in school.

568
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,720
We cannot have our teachers putting down America, inciting racism, inciting all

569
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:35,200
different types of things. These kids do not need to hear it. They do not need to be anywhere

570
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:41,720
near that ideology. And I actually suggest that you get counseling for his former students.

571
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:42,340
Thank you.

572
00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:58,770
So, could you, could you state your name for the record, please?

573
00:44:58,770 --> 00:44:59,970
My name is Christopher O-

574
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:09,120
And you guys fired Gabriel Guype today because y'all got caught yesterday, you know.

575
00:45:10,980 --> 00:45:15,100
Okay, we, as people have mentioned, this guy had an antifa flag on his wall.

576
00:45:15,220 --> 00:45:17,000
He had Chairman Mao on his wall.

577
00:45:17,580 --> 00:45:20,400
He was indoctrinating these kids every single day.

578
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:24,340
He was abusing them, scaring them every single day.

579
00:45:25,140 --> 00:45:26,240
Where the hell was the principal?

580
00:45:26,980 --> 00:45:28,020
Where were the vice principals?

581
00:45:28,020 --> 00:45:32,420
schools, where was the other faculty at this school? Where was the superintendent? Where

582
00:45:32,420 --> 00:45:38,360
was the rest of the district? Where were you? You know, he was fired today. Why wasn't he

583
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,460
fired a year ago? Why wasn't he fired two years ago? Why did this go on for so long?

584
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,480
Why are you only doing anything about it now?

585
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,860
Because you got caught, exactly. Okay,

586
00:45:50,980 --> 00:45:56,220
and you guys, you're going to be held accountable. This is because of you. Okay, Gabriel

587
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:59,660
The real guy is a symptom, not the sickness.

588
00:46:00,260 --> 00:46:01,780
The sickness is in the district.

589
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:03,120
It's in the school.

590
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:04,220
It's everywhere.

591
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:05,780
The people are sick of it.

592
00:46:05,820 --> 00:46:06,380
We're aware of it.

593
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,060
We know it's going on, especially now, and we know what you're doing, and we're not

594
00:46:10,060 --> 00:46:10,720
going to let this go.

595
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,380
You can't just fire this one guy and then just call it quits, and it's done.

596
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,040
It's not done.

597
00:46:15,980 --> 00:46:17,440
You're going to have to do something about this.

598
00:46:17,540 --> 00:46:20,840
We want the policy of the schools, the written policy change.

599
00:46:20,940 --> 00:46:23,440
We want you to follow the rules you're already supposed to be following.

600
00:46:24,580 --> 00:46:35,820
We want an investigation, as other people have mentioned, we need to investigate this, a criminal investigation by an unbiased third party, not an internal investigation where you guys will let yourselves off the hook.

601
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:48,960
You have to be held accountable. Now, you could get ahead of this. You could do something about it. You can actually care about what the people in your community and the parents of these students that you're supposed to be taking care of, what they have said and what they care about, what they want.

602
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:54,440
with the law and by citizens of this country and this community wants, or you can just double

603
00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:00,760
down and hide. It's not going to work because we'll be back. We'll be back. We're here today.

604
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:04,020
We'll be here next week. We'll be at every freaking board meeting that you guys have.

605
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:09,720
Okay? You have to do something. Do something now. Do something now.

606
00:47:17,810 --> 00:47:23,870
Hi. My name is Brittany Johnson. I'm with KCRE3 News. Just before I even ask my questions,

607
00:47:23,870 --> 00:47:27,790
Is anyone from the board going to be available after to speak with us?

608
00:47:27,930 --> 00:47:32,670
And if not, then I'll ask my questions here later this week.

609
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,040
We've been, I'm asking because we've been trying to get comment.

610
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,920
We've been calling the offices.

611
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:41,200
We've been emailing.

612
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,780
So I'll just, I'll ask my questions.

613
00:47:45,180 --> 00:47:47,200
Just two that I have right now here are,

614
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,140
have any prior complaints been made against Gabriel Geik

615
00:47:50,140 --> 00:47:52,680
and have they been reported to Intercom High School?

616
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,680
If so, what were those complaints?

617
00:47:54,680 --> 00:48:01,260
When did they happen and what actions were taken by the school and if no actions were taken why weren't they taken?

618
00:48:02,020 --> 00:48:09,180
And then another question the teacher in question Gabriel Geith stated that other teachers do share his beliefs

619
00:48:09,180 --> 00:48:14,380
Has the board taken steps to identify any of those teachers who may have been sharing their

620
00:48:14,380 --> 00:48:19,500
Opinions in the classrooms and if so what actions are being taken anyone

621
00:48:25,740 --> 00:48:28,000
be available after to answer those questions

622
00:48:34,060 --> 00:48:35,080
Thank you for your time.

623
00:48:53,810 --> 00:48:58,430
Good evening. My name is Louis Ortega and I'm a current resident here in the district.

624
00:48:58,650 --> 00:49:02,230
My son actually just recently graduated for Income High School this past year.

625
00:49:03,090 --> 00:49:06,650
And with that being said, the reason why I'm here tonight is to voice my concerns.

626
00:49:07,630 --> 00:49:13,790
The starting revelation that was brought to my attention yesterday from a video that surfaced online of a teacher by the name of Gabriel Geips.

627
00:49:14,510 --> 00:49:22,890
In my first initial thoughts, upon viewing this video, was disbelief, frustration, disappointment and anger.

628
00:49:24,050 --> 00:49:28,750
Anger that a teacher at Intercom High School, and I'm going to quote what he said, openly,

629
00:49:29,410 --> 00:49:32,250
I have 180 days to make revolutionaries.

630
00:49:33,770 --> 00:49:37,170
And his response, and they asked him, how do you do that?

631
00:49:37,230 --> 00:49:39,230
And his response was as I scared the F out of him.

632
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:48,200
As a parent, this is alarming, alarming that the school staff, principal,

633
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:54,240
vice principal, other teachers and the faculty did nothing and allowed this

634
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:58,880
indoctrination of these ideologies and beliefs to cultivate in its classroom.

635
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:00,460
They did nothing.

636
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,640
According to your statement that you guys released yesterday,

637
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,840
that whenever civic education includes topics that may be controversial due to

638
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,880
political beliefs or influences, instruction shall be presented in a balanced manner that

639
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:19,280
does not promote any particular viewpoint. Are you going to sit here and tell me that

640
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,220
Mr. Guives, in the way he presented the material subject matter, is balanced and not promoting

641
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:24,280
a specific viewpoint?

642
00:50:26,540 --> 00:50:30,460
Where is the American flag in his classroom? Where is the Constitution

643
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:35,000
or literature of the Declaration of Independence hanging up in his classroom? Nowhere.

644
00:50:37,180 --> 00:50:37,440
Is

645
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,740
Is it not the responsibility of the district to evaluate the teachers?

646
00:50:41,780 --> 00:50:43,300
Let me answer that for you.

647
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:44,660
Yes, it is.

648
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,660
According to your governing board, the expect administrators assigned to evaluate teachers

649
00:50:49,660 --> 00:50:54,760
shall be competent in the instructional methodologies used by the teachers they evaluate.

650
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,720
Be skilled in the supervision of the instruction and the techniques and procedures

651
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:02,200
related to the evaluation of the instruction.

652
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,580
It is your responsibility to know what he's teaching.

653
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,880
And it's been going on for years, and you allowed it to happen.

654
00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:15,200
That tells me that you're not even following your own governing board, your own rules.

655
00:51:16,820 --> 00:51:18,340
You're responsible for that.

656
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,520
Why? Why allow this to go on?

657
00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:30,480
The school district has failed in my opinion, and I'm going to finish with this last thought.

658
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,680
Because you've allowed this indoctrination of Mr. Geithner's political ideology to flourish in his classroom.

659
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:42,980
You have an opportunity to correct this. Everything has been brought to light.

660
00:51:43,180 --> 00:51:48,620
And like everyone is saying, it does not end with Mr. Geithner. There are some deep-rooted issues within this district.

661
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:52,520
And I hope you guys make the right choice to make a change with this.

662
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,260
Good evening. My name is Rory Lowe.

663
00:52:04,260 --> 00:52:09,360
And although I do not have a student at Indercom, I am a member of this community and a parent myself.

664
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:14,720
I'd like to start off by saying that I am neither far right nor far left in my political ideologies.

665
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,300
I am very neutral in my stance.

666
00:52:16,780 --> 00:52:19,740
I have not come before you this evening to discuss politics.

667
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,000
The infamous video Mr. Geip was sent to me by my son due to the fact that I live in North Natomas.

668
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,300
I got about midway through the video and had deposit.

669
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:29,980
It infuriated me.

670
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:35,140
I was shocked that a person like Mr. Geipp was being permitted to teach the children in my community.

671
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:43,460
In the statement given by the Thomas Unified School District, you refer to balanced instruction as it pertains to controversial topics.

672
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:49,500
It is very difficult for me to believe that a teacher with such radical views could lead a balanced discussion.

673
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:54,080
As with most things in life, an element of bias is almost always present.

674
00:52:54,080 --> 00:53:01,520
I find it difficult to believe that his harsh views of government and society are not trickling down into his lectures to our students.

675
00:53:02,460 --> 00:53:05,500
I find his teaching methods to be similar to those of grooming.

676
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:10,880
He is an authority figure whose life experiences and intellect far outweigh those of his students.

677
00:53:11,620 --> 00:53:15,380
Prior to this meeting, I had heard at least one of his students come to his defense,

678
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:21,220
arguing that he is an intelligent, kind, helpful person and does give two sides to his lectures.

679
00:53:21,220 --> 00:53:24,940
I have no doubt that some of his students do in fact fill this way.

680
00:53:25,340 --> 00:53:28,760
As far as I can tell from his video, Mr. Geip is a predator of sorts.

681
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:35,440
Predators often possess all of these qualities. It is how they gain trust.

682
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:40,700
When a child trusts the person in front of them, manipulating that child becomes that much easier.

683
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,940
Shaming students who do not subscribe to his radical views seems acceptable to him and his environment.

684
00:53:46,940 --> 00:54:00,340
But let's be clear, it is not. It is not acceptable to ridicule, name-call, or disregard a student, their parents, or any of the religious beliefs that may drive their actions or beliefs simply because they do not coincide with his.

685
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:07,580
This man is a danger to the minds of these children, and I ask that the district revisit their vetting process for future hires. Thank you.

686
00:54:17,170 --> 00:54:22,750
Josh Fulfer. First off, I think one of the things that we need to worry about the most.

687
00:54:23,430 --> 00:54:28,510
He said you're going to take action, but in his own video he said there's other teachers

688
00:54:28,510 --> 00:54:36,010
at this that share his same beliefs and teach in the same way he does. I also want to turn

689
00:54:36,010 --> 00:54:39,850
this around and get a little people mad at me. It is your guys' fault, but it's

690
00:54:39,850 --> 00:54:45,030
also the parents' fault. When Common Core came out, we let you slide. When all

691
00:54:45,030 --> 00:54:47,290
When a sexual ed came out, we let you slide.

692
00:54:47,670 --> 00:54:49,290
I don't think there's time for any more.

693
00:54:49,750 --> 00:54:54,810
And for all these people to be shocked somehow that Antifa's new or hasn't been around, you've

694
00:54:54,810 --> 00:55:00,410
had a bunch of proud patriots standing the front line against these commie bastards for

695
00:55:00,410 --> 00:55:01,690
quite a long time.

696
00:55:02,030 --> 00:55:06,690
And you've allowed the fake news to destroy them instead of destroying the communists.

697
00:55:07,230 --> 00:55:09,150
It's all part of a bigger plan.

698
00:55:09,530 --> 00:55:10,730
You guys should be held responsible.

699
00:55:11,130 --> 00:55:13,870
Honestly, I'd be ashamed to go out and get coffee tomorrow morning.

700
00:55:14,370 --> 00:55:19,510
I mean, when you think about the history of this country and what we used to do to folks

701
00:55:19,510 --> 00:55:25,910
that would do something such as child abuse to our children and that man is still enjoying

702
00:55:25,910 --> 00:55:31,910
life right now, unfortunately you guys have a lot to do and again I don't know what the

703
00:55:31,910 --> 00:55:34,630
community is going to do but I challenge the community right now.

704
00:55:35,330 --> 00:55:39,410
If I come back in six weeks I want to see just as many people here until they actually

705
00:55:39,410 --> 00:55:42,910
fix this and maybe you people on this board are the wrong people to be here

706
00:55:42,910 --> 00:55:47,030
but again there's been people fighting this for quite a long time

707
00:55:47,750 --> 00:55:51,250
and they've been the ones that's been the bad guy. It's time to change this

708
00:55:51,250 --> 00:55:55,230
I tell everybody that's in this thing it's time to come back and take America

709
00:55:55,230 --> 00:55:56,370
back. Okay

710
00:56:09,170 --> 00:56:11,990
and then Jennifer Kelly

711
00:56:11,990 --> 00:56:16,130
and then Salvador Jaime and then Matthew

712
00:56:16,130 --> 00:56:16,690
Francis.

713
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,200
Robert Rossi is next.

714
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:35,840
Hello

715
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:41,560
So I would like to defer to the woman with the baby, she could take my place since I'm

716
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:42,520
not sure where she went though.

717
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:46,360
Then I'll be after her.

718
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:47,920
Good job.

719
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:49,560
Traditional values.

720
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:52,120
I

721
00:56:55,060 --> 00:56:57,820
just ask that you state your name for the record please.

722
00:56:57,940 --> 00:56:58,560
Yes, Nicole.

723
00:57:00,340 --> 00:57:01,580
Do you need a last name or?

724
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:03,060
It's Howard.

725
00:57:03,780 --> 00:57:04,380
Okay, Nicole.

726
00:57:04,580 --> 00:57:04,780
Thank you.

727
00:57:04,780 --> 00:57:05,340
Sorry about that.

728
00:57:05,340 --> 00:57:06,460
I've

729
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:15,320
been an Atomis resident since 2015. In the last six years I've embraced the

730
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:20,500
harmoniously diverse portrait of our community. People from all different walks

731
00:57:20,500 --> 00:57:25,600
of life is what makes us unique. I was raised with an open mind and to respect

732
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:31,440
people for who they are even if they differ from me. These last 18 months have

733
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,500
been the worst times I've ever seen. People are no longer respecting each

734
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:38,860
other for their differences in opinion they're now pointing the finger and

735
00:57:38,860 --> 00:57:46,180
blaming each other this is a time and place this is not a time and place for

736
00:57:46,180 --> 00:57:51,820
expressing our individual beliefs but a school is not one of them under no

737
00:57:51,820 --> 00:57:57,020
circumstances should a teacher bestow recruit or incentivize a student to

738
00:57:57,020 --> 00:58:00,580
conform to their belief system the last time I checked this was not part of

739
00:58:00,580 --> 00:58:05,080
our school curriculum I'm here on behalf of my sister-in-law she

740
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:12,480
couldn't attend tonight. My nephew was Gabriel's student. Gabriel is not a teacher. He's trying

741
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:18,680
to teach our students about his communist beliefs. What I saw yesterday was an irrational

742
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:25,660
person on a mission to form an army of communist revolutionaries. Never in my life have I

743
00:58:25,660 --> 00:58:29,980
witnessed this type of inappropriate behaviors from someone whose job it is to educate

744
00:58:29,980 --> 00:58:34,600
hate our students. These young adults have been through so much stress and trauma recently.

745
00:58:35,140 --> 00:58:39,360
The last thing they need is a power-driven Antifa member persuading them to join his

746
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:44,800
army and hate those that have a difference in opinion. No political opinions of any teachers

747
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:50,040
should ever be forced upon our students. This is not all about left or right. This

748
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:56,320
is about what's right or wrong. We demand the termination of this man now, yesterday.

749
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:04,720
Why are we waiting and an investigation amongst the other teachers who share these same ideas who are implementing these ideas on our children?

750
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,540
No child should ever be subjected to these radical ideologies.

751
00:59:11,020 --> 00:59:12,060
Thank you for your comments.

752
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,140
He is a humiliation to our community and endangering our students.

753
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,260
He is the division amongst us that needs to be depressed.

754
00:59:19,540 --> 00:59:23,020
How dare he show up to deliver these on this community messages?

755
00:59:23,740 --> 00:59:24,720
Listen to her.

756
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,500
Gabriel, I hope you're just as uncomfortable as you made our students.

757
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,240
Hello, members of the school board.

758
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,340
Do you state your name for the record please?

759
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,020
Yes, my name is Robert Rossi. I'm a resident of Natomas.

760
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,200
I would like to ask the members of the school board if they teach their children,

761
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,520
foster children or any young relative or any young person they are custodian of,

762
00:59:56,540 --> 00:59:59,020
that they should join the anti-fascist action.

763
00:59:59,020 --> 00:59:59,100
Thank you for watching.

764
01:00:00,690 --> 01:00:05,790
Or teach them, if they feel uncomfortable about themselves, then they should change their gender.

765
01:00:06,390 --> 01:00:12,390
Or teach them to support Planned Parenthood. Or teach them that they are living on stolen land.

766
01:00:13,230 --> 01:00:18,430
Or that communism is better than capitalism. Do they teach them that Republicans are Nazis?

767
01:00:19,190 --> 01:00:25,710
I ask everyone, if Intercom Public Taxpayer High School teacher Gabriel, however you say his name, Guy,

768
01:00:25,710 --> 01:00:31,970
guide, wanted to turn his students into a communist revolutionary, scare the shit out

769
01:00:31,970 --> 01:00:36,170
of them, make them feel uncomfortable, and promote the things I have mentioned. Would

770
01:00:36,170 --> 01:00:40,590
you want your child in this school environment? Would you want the teacher terminated? Would

771
01:00:40,590 --> 01:00:45,830
you want to know why he was hired? Would you want his teaching credentials removed?

772
01:00:46,810 --> 01:00:52,150
Think about the students that felt tortured, knowing that they could not speak out. Public

773
01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:56,350
Public K through 12 education should focus on core reading, writing, and mathematics.

774
01:00:56,730 --> 01:01:00,670
It should be a positive learning environment, not a radical education.

775
01:01:02,090 --> 01:01:06,050
I have the pictures of the posters that hang in the classroom, which I found out are now

776
01:01:06,050 --> 01:01:07,190
taken down.

777
01:01:08,190 --> 01:01:08,970
Thank you.

778
01:01:11,850 --> 01:01:16,950
If the Supreme Court can find the 10 Commandments unconstitutional to be posted in our public

779
01:01:16,950 --> 01:01:19,390
classrooms, then how can this be any different?

780
01:01:22,060 --> 01:01:22,820
Thank you.

781
01:01:22,820 --> 01:01:23,900
So

782
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:42,080
it was Casey, Casey Clay and then Jennifer Kelly and Salvador Jaime and

783
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,540
Matthew Francis and Christine Fish.

784
01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:57,460
Oh, Casey Clay. Just looking out and seeing

785
01:01:57,460 --> 01:02:04,880
masks, it's like hiding. Yeah, it's actually quite sickening. So I have

786
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:12,000
three kids, one graduated from intercom, the other two are juniors. And like one of the

787
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:21,060
other parents stated here, my kid that graduated loved intercom, diversity, everything that

788
01:02:21,060 --> 01:02:21,840
we have to offer.

789
01:02:25,170 --> 01:02:30,390
When I heard about this, I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised.

790
01:02:32,550 --> 01:02:45,730
Last year, listening in was an eye-opener and my juniors, I ask a lot of questions and we have open communication, which is good.

791
01:02:46,570 --> 01:02:58,670
Not a lot of people get that from their kids and that's why teachers is important not to be indoctrinating them because they look at teachers as respected adult figures.

792
01:02:58,670 --> 01:03:04,370
It's not your position. It's not your position to tell your opinions or your thoughts.

793
01:03:05,010 --> 01:03:07,670
You can be caring without telling your opinions and your thoughts.

794
01:03:08,030 --> 01:03:14,630
But what really upset me was a history class that was going into current events when it should have been world history.

795
01:03:15,230 --> 01:03:16,810
Why aren't you teaching about communism?

796
01:03:17,250 --> 01:03:20,510
Teaching about things that our kids need to know and what is going on there?

797
01:03:20,810 --> 01:03:24,650
So I asked the question. I told my kids, you know what? I need to bring this up.

798
01:03:24,650 --> 01:03:29,970
they're scared that they're going to get a failing grade for a parent sticking up because

799
01:03:29,970 --> 01:03:36,750
it's happened before. And I know this to be true because my graduated son of two years

800
01:03:36,750 --> 01:03:45,470
ago had experienced this. It's not okay. It's not okay to do that. And keep checking seriously.

801
01:03:46,190 --> 01:03:46,650
I'm done.

802
01:03:59,830 --> 01:04:02,590
I wrote this down and I don't have my glasses so I don't know how much

803
01:04:02,590 --> 01:04:03,270
This is going to help.

804
01:04:03,930 --> 01:04:05,250
My name is Jennifer Kelly.

805
01:04:05,930 --> 01:04:09,610
I'm a concerned parent, concerned neighbor,

806
01:04:10,510 --> 01:04:13,770
retired police officer deputy sheriff corner, firefighter,

807
01:04:13,870 --> 01:04:14,930
EMT, flight nurse.

808
01:04:15,770 --> 01:04:19,290
I practice medicine as a nurse practitioner.

809
01:04:20,070 --> 01:04:22,130
I volunteer at CASA that's a quarter point

810
01:04:22,130 --> 01:04:23,870
and special advocate for foster youth.

811
01:04:24,770 --> 01:04:26,850
And what else?

812
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:28,250
Anything else?

813
01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:37,710
I say this oh and I'm a mandated reporter and when I saw this video I was I was

814
01:04:37,710 --> 01:04:45,220
shocked especially coming from intercom I mean any high school anyways but but

815
01:04:45,220 --> 01:04:53,220
especially intercom the problems that we that I had that I have is that when you

816
01:04:53,220 --> 01:04:57,680
send a child to school you have the the student handbook there's no bullying

817
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,260
there's no ostracizing, there's no discrimination,

818
01:05:02,020 --> 01:05:04,300
there's yada, yada, yada, and then,

819
01:05:04,460 --> 01:05:07,700
but you have someone that's in a position of power

820
01:05:07,700 --> 01:05:13,400
when you have a teacher, that ups the game.

821
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,500
And it's great that he's fired,

822
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,920
but as a mandated reporter, who filed the CPS report?

823
01:05:21,900 --> 01:05:23,800
This needs to be done.

824
01:05:25,420 --> 01:05:32,780
CPS and a complaint needs to be filed to the district attorney to file charges.

825
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,520
Investigation needs to go into the other teachers.

826
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:42,780
I'm trying not to repeat what everyone else says, but because I said all my credentials,

827
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:48,860
I wanted to let you know that they're not just saying that they want this because they don't know what they're talking about.

828
01:05:48,980 --> 01:05:50,520
They do know what they're talking about.

829
01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:53,600
They don't want it, they demand it.

830
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,680
The other thing is, there needs to be counseling for these children.

831
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:06,200
It's huge, I mean, these kids are terrified and it's going to affect them for the rest

832
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:06,840
of their life.

833
01:06:07,580 --> 01:06:08,840
Okay, thank you for your time.

834
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,340
Once again, my name is Eduardo, last time I met,

835
01:06:27,450 --> 01:06:28,930
thank you once again for not counseling

836
01:06:28,930 --> 01:06:29,270
the meeting.

837
01:06:29,270 --> 01:06:36,390
first of all, I'll make it quick. I happened to be one of those parents whose daughter was in his class.

838
01:06:37,390 --> 01:06:45,550
I was proud to know that she was taking an AP class and she's looking forward to college.

839
01:06:47,450 --> 01:06:56,450
Then I come across a video yesterday. I'm still a little shocked, still going through the emotions.

840
01:06:56,870 --> 01:07:00,570
I contacted the school. I believe I spoke with Vice Principal Brian.

841
01:07:01,250 --> 01:07:06,010
He actually, I have to say, I felt his heart is in the right place.

842
01:07:06,930 --> 01:07:10,050
I said, what's your opinion? Is that what you guys' policy is?

843
01:07:10,070 --> 01:07:13,790
He said, no. I said, what am I going to do?

844
01:07:13,930 --> 01:07:17,190
I know it's a teachable moment for me, but what can I do as a parent?

845
01:07:18,750 --> 01:07:20,610
I didn't think he was going to say anything.

846
01:07:20,810 --> 01:07:22,150
He said, you know why you're doing the right thing.

847
01:07:22,150 --> 01:07:24,590
If you care about it, you're calling us.

848
01:07:25,150 --> 01:07:27,290
If you care about it, then go ahead and go to the meeting

849
01:07:27,290 --> 01:07:28,890
and let them know how you feel.

850
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:31,820
I talked to my daughter.

851
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,820
The guy seems very nice, whatever.

852
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,240
The first thing that he said to them, to the students at the beginning,

853
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,320
the same thing that he said in the video,

854
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:49,140
I have 180 days to turn you guys into revolutionaries.

855
01:07:50,020 --> 01:07:52,080
That's how he started the year.

856
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:59,000
Now they ask him what's going on, I can't tell you anymore, I don't know you guys yet.

857
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:06,540
So from the very beginning he planted the seed and this guy is in a position of power and

858
01:08:06,540 --> 01:08:07,860
part of me feels bad for the guy.

859
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:16,280
He went to Sac State, he's a local guy, but you guys have to educate, not indoctrinate.

860
01:08:17,900 --> 01:08:26,080
It's, part of me feels hopeless almost that you know he's right we keep moving to the

861
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:33,400
left left left left they're now putting posters of Mao I could just go on and on

862
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:41,180
it but I don't want to vent thank you guys for taking action I'm gonna hope

863
01:08:41,180 --> 01:08:46,120
that you guys are doing it because it's the right thing and not because you're

864
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,040
being forced to do it once again.

865
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,540
I don't want to know your political ideology.

866
01:08:56,820 --> 01:08:57,500
I don't care.

867
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,700
I don't want radical left, radical right.

868
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:01,320
I don't want that in the classrooms.

869
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,640
I can't believe that we got into that point where

870
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,260
a teacher is actually bold enough, a Marxist,

871
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,400
an Antifa terrorist.

872
01:09:12,100 --> 01:09:12,880
All right.

873
01:09:13,220 --> 01:09:14,100
Thank you, guys.

874
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,580
Thank you, thank you.

875
01:09:23,870 --> 01:09:25,650
Hi, my name is Matthew Francis.

876
01:09:26,510 --> 01:09:27,350
This is my son.

877
01:09:27,350 --> 01:09:31,670
he graduated this year okay he

878
01:09:34,810 --> 01:09:38,070
went he went through hell last year and you put

879
01:09:38,070 --> 01:09:43,250
all of us on the front line last year we got to see everything that was going on

880
01:09:43,250 --> 01:09:47,870
you have the the men in blue here to protect you guys they should be knocking

881
01:09:47,870 --> 01:09:52,450
on that door arresting that man I have nothing but respect for these men in

882
01:09:52,450 --> 01:09:57,370
blue as much as all these people do if it weren't for these people he'd

883
01:09:57,370 --> 01:10:02,190
probably be dead because people like this lifted him up. Do you guys know how much

884
01:10:02,190 --> 01:10:06,870
teenage suicide happened last year? That's what we should really be talking

885
01:10:06,870 --> 01:10:12,330
about. That's on you guys. All of it. I want to ask for your resignation.

886
01:10:14,170 --> 01:10:14,650
You

887
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:23,880
guys don't deserve this job. There's many people in this room that can do your job a thousand times better.

888
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:29,860
I promise you. I'm one of them because I care about children. I don't think you

889
01:10:29,860 --> 01:10:34,140
do or you wouldn't let this kind of stuff happen this is ridiculous I got

890
01:10:34,140 --> 01:10:39,400
this video this morning and let me tell you I'm not shocked why because there's

891
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,580
another teacher right down the road at Lee Roy Green Academy who did the same

892
01:10:43,580 --> 01:10:49,560
thing to my son and to many others and you people know who it is I'm not even

893
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,520
gonna mention the name because thank God for these people because I'm gonna go

894
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,660
talk to them and they're gonna do another video because you're gonna see

895
01:10:57,660 --> 01:11:03,000
another video as soon as they get to talk to me. I promise you that. You already know

896
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,640
his name. I don't even got to mention it. I'm appalled that that man is still teaching

897
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:13,400
at my daughter's school. I cannot believe it. My daughter is taking AP World History.

898
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:18,460
She's so uncomfortable with taking the class. You know why she's taking that class? Because

899
01:11:18,460 --> 01:11:20,900
I wouldn't let her be in this other person's class.

900
01:11:23,550 --> 01:11:24,290
That's on you.

901
01:11:24,290 --> 01:11:25,070
Good

902
01:11:41,940 --> 01:11:47,780
evening, board. My name is Christine Bish. I'm a candidate for Congress in this area.

903
01:11:51,250 --> 01:11:58,830
I'm here to speak on behalf of the number of teachers that contacted my campaign because they're afraid.

904
01:11:59,510 --> 01:12:04,550
They're afraid to speak out that you won't defend them against the teachers' union.

905
01:12:04,550 --> 01:12:12,770
that will have them railroaded out of their jobs, out of their careers, which all ultimately

906
01:12:13,490 --> 01:12:22,370
railroad them out of their homes. The majority of teachers, I believe, are good. They have

907
01:12:22,370 --> 01:12:27,290
a passion. Went through everything it took to get through school, to get the teaching

908
01:12:27,290 --> 01:12:32,630
credential and want to be in a beautiful school district. This should be the flagship

909
01:12:33,410 --> 01:12:39,690
for Sacramento, one of our most technologically advanced high schools, and we have students

910
01:12:39,690 --> 01:12:47,670
afraid to go here. I know of one board member here who has consistently fought for the students

911
01:12:47,670 --> 01:12:51,250
and for the teachers, the teachers that are afraid to stand here and say this.

912
01:12:54,910 --> 01:12:55,710
I'd appreciate

913
01:12:55,710 --> 01:12:59,910
it if you didn't play with your phone while I was speaking. You need to look at me.

914
01:13:00,010 --> 01:13:04,890
I'm paying you the courtesy of standing here speaking to you. So looking away, now

915
01:13:04,890 --> 01:13:09,670
we know what happened. We know what happened when the children came to the school board,

916
01:13:09,810 --> 01:13:14,010
to the principal, to their counselors and begged for help because they were being tortured

917
01:13:14,010 --> 01:13:19,810
and indoctrinated by a teacher. Because you turned your head away. You decided to play

918
01:13:19,810 --> 01:13:26,610
with your phone. You're going to see plenty of your face on social media when these people

919
01:13:26,610 --> 01:13:27,210
leave here.

920
01:13:29,690 --> 01:13:34,870
There may be lawsuits. But what I can tell you is, I've had multiple teachers

921
01:13:34,870 --> 01:13:39,770
teachers tell me they have complained, they've had students complained, they've had parents

922
01:13:39,770 --> 01:13:48,550
complained. We need a full and thorough criminal investigation from the bottom up, from the

923
01:13:48,550 --> 01:13:55,950
janitors all the way up to the superintendent to find out who is ignored. And to the one

924
01:13:55,950 --> 01:14:02,610
person I know on this board that has consistently fought for the rights of the students and

925
01:14:02,610 --> 01:14:06,250
take care of the teachers here. Thank you.

926
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:40,280
The mic wasn't on, I'm sorry.

927
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:52,480
Cassian, Maria, Kyle, Wendy Montes, Kyle Myers, Mike Mann.

928
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:56,400
And C.

929
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:08,500
I'm sorry, and then Rick Potts.

930
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,860
First of all, I would like to thank every parent that's in here right now.

931
01:15:19,420 --> 01:15:31,600
The second thing is the reason why my daughter is standing behind me is because my job, as her parent, is to protect her from anybody that has ill will towards her.

932
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:38,640
So being that this is her first year at this high school that is world-renowned

933
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:43,260
and everybody knows about this school is so perfect and everybody does everything right,

934
01:15:43,460 --> 01:15:49,540
the first time my daughter tells me and she goes against my wishes to come out of a classroom

935
01:15:49,540 --> 01:15:54,240
that's disruptive to her well-being, I have an issue.

936
01:15:55,600 --> 01:16:00,180
I am very articulate. My children are very well read.

937
01:16:00,180 --> 01:16:06,200
They speak their opinion. They make sure that they are clear in what they do and do not like,

938
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:10,600
and for the fact that my 17-year-old daughter had to come to me and said,

939
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,880
Mom, you don't understand. Let me explain.

940
01:16:15,980 --> 01:16:22,840
This means that in two weeks, in 13 days, he was allowed to change my daughter's mind

941
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:27,300
about some fascist crap that y'all have let in this school.

942
01:16:28,380 --> 01:16:29,020
This

943
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,160
is ridiculous. I'm from Texas.

944
01:16:41,370 --> 01:16:44,950
This does not go on in Texas. There are two

945
01:16:44,950 --> 01:16:51,370
grades higher than California, period. So to think that my very sound-minded

946
01:16:51,370 --> 01:16:56,010
daughter would go against me and my wishes and our values in our home to

947
01:16:56,010 --> 01:17:00,750
be able to go and support this man and he is putting her in harm's way,

948
01:17:06,930 --> 01:17:07,130
what

949
01:17:07,130 --> 01:17:15,020
long does it have to go on before somebody says something? Yes. How long? What are you

950
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:20,320
going to do? That's the question. Get him out of here. We don't fucking care about this

951
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:21,760
boy. He got to go.

952
01:17:38,150 --> 01:17:42,110
Good evening. My name is Maria Pacelli and two years ago my youngest

953
01:17:42,110 --> 01:17:47,330
child graduated from Intercom High School. I can tell you that there is a culture

954
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:52,510
of toxicity at this school and we tried to address it during his attendance there.

955
01:17:52,510 --> 01:17:57,290
When he was a sophomore, his first year there, he took an English class.

956
01:17:57,530 --> 01:17:59,970
And there was subtle indoctrination in the curricula.

957
01:18:00,350 --> 01:18:05,370
It is not just in the government classes that this toxicity and poison is occurring.

958
01:18:05,830 --> 01:18:08,650
It is in English classes. It is in art classes.

959
01:18:09,310 --> 01:18:12,510
We tried to address it through the proper chain of command,

960
01:18:12,510 --> 01:18:14,550
only to be told it would be taken care of.

961
01:18:14,730 --> 01:18:16,830
And here I am tonight, and he's graduated.

962
01:18:17,950 --> 01:18:20,270
I was born in Venezuela.

963
01:18:20,270 --> 01:18:27,710
And while I have been here in the United States for many years, my family, my father's side, is still there.

964
01:18:28,330 --> 01:18:37,510
So what I hear is second and third hand information. I do not want this place and this educational system to become Venezuela.

965
01:18:42,290 --> 01:18:53,490
And it is up to you. You have heard the people speak. You work for us. We expect you to do the jobs that you were elected to do. Thank you.

966
01:18:53,490 --> 01:18:54,170
Good

967
01:19:15,510 --> 01:19:18,330
afternoon. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the order. My name had been called earlier.

968
01:19:19,010 --> 01:19:24,990
I'm actually a parent of a student in a local district. I actually walked with my social

969
01:19:24,990 --> 01:19:28,990
science major across the street from Intercom High School. I have a lot of familiarity with

970
01:19:28,990 --> 01:19:33,630
school teachers in the area. I substitute in the San Juan School District. This is

971
01:19:33,630 --> 01:19:38,370
not an isolated incident. This is why I'm out of... I left teaching because I can't

972
01:19:38,370 --> 01:19:44,650
deal with the politics here. My student, my son, is trying to make it through another

973
01:19:44,650 --> 01:19:51,610
area. The video showed here of the issue. He's also facing similar issues in his school.

974
01:19:52,210 --> 01:19:57,450
The parents in this area are awake. We're going to be at all the meetings, letting you

975
01:19:57,450 --> 01:20:01,590
guys know. I'll give this to somebody else who is in the district. Thank you.

976
01:20:09,180 --> 01:20:13,260
Before we take the next public comment, Madam Chair, I would like to motion for a five

977
01:20:13,260 --> 01:20:16,760
minute recess. I'm looking for a motion. Either second.

978
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:24,080
All right, second by Trustee Bainz, maybe to call the roll on this or just take a...

979
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:24,700
Bainz?

980
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:25,620
Grant?

981
01:20:26,060 --> 01:20:26,260
Aye.

982
01:20:26,540 --> 01:20:26,960
Hardin?

983
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:27,560
Aye.

984
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:28,040
Heredia?

985
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:28,700
Aye.

986
01:20:29,020 --> 01:20:29,340
Kaplan?

987
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:29,940
Aye.

988
01:20:30,300 --> 01:20:30,820
Wally-Olly?

989
01:20:31,180 --> 01:20:31,760
Aye.

990
01:20:33,300 --> 01:20:38,820
All right, meetings adjourned for a brief break.

991
01:20:40,540 --> 01:20:44,020
Good evening, Governing Board, Superintendent Evans, Superintendent's Cabinet.

992
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:45,280
My name is Roman Muñoz.

993
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,160
I am your general counsel.

994
01:20:47,980 --> 01:20:53,300
I'd like to remind the board that our board by-law for public comments on items not on

995
01:20:53,300 --> 01:20:56,940
the agenda, two minutes per speaker, 20 minutes total.

996
01:20:57,500 --> 01:21:04,780
We far exceeded that and we have, you know, we have times to go through and we have other

997
01:21:04,780 --> 01:21:06,120
presentations to make this evening.

998
01:21:06,580 --> 01:21:13,880
And we will finish the public statements that we have, the public comments we have

999
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:19,760
right now. And so these are the last ones that we have. I think there's about 14 or 15 and

1000
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,680
we'll call them up. President Heredia.

1001
01:21:34,580 --> 01:21:50,160
Rick Potts, Christina Castañales, John Doe DeWayne, another John Doe.

1002
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:56,180
So I don't know

1003
01:21:56,180 --> 01:22:00,260
Jenny May, and Deborah,

1004
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,060
is it, is it, I'm going to sit here.

1005
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:10,320
Hosem, Hosem, Robert Hosem, okay, also, and Sachiko.

1006
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:12,640
All right?

1007
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:14,560
Yes.

1008
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,320
Well, hey, I want to thank you guys for being here.

1009
01:22:19,460 --> 01:22:23,820
I mean, you know, some of the times you all can call in sick in certain situations,

1010
01:22:23,820 --> 01:22:30,280
so I appreciate you guys being here. And for the parents and students behind me, if anything

1011
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:36,520
happens to you guys, whether it be minor or major, don't go to these people. You go to

1012
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:43,220
the police department first and file a report. Okay? Because I was put in that situation when

1013
01:22:43,220 --> 01:22:49,060
I worked here. They threw me out like trash. And they kept the guy, he made 80,000 over

1014
01:22:49,060 --> 01:22:52,260
here at Lodi, Unified School District as the Director of Transportation. Isn't that

1015
01:22:53,140 --> 01:22:57,400
me while I suffered. I want to tell you a quick story, then I'll be out of here. When

1016
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:01,780
I was, I got an ADD, so you know, when I was a senior in high school at history, and obviously

1017
01:23:01,780 --> 01:23:06,820
the first, the first, you know, first report card was an F, because, oh shit, that's how

1018
01:23:06,820 --> 01:23:10,600
it is, but I had a really good teacher, and he sat me down and he said, read this book.

1019
01:23:10,820 --> 01:23:13,020
You got to read it. I mean, it's going to be one of the best books you ever

1020
01:23:13,020 --> 01:23:17,900
read. And I fell in love with this book. You know, I really did fall in love

1021
01:23:17,900 --> 01:23:20,820
this book. And then now I look at what's going on now.

1022
01:23:23,420 --> 01:23:26,080
It's the same similarities. It's what's

1023
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:33,660
going on in this country. And it's the Nazi. That's what it is. It's Nazi. You've got to

1024
01:23:33,660 --> 01:23:36,180
read your... You've got to go back to the history books and you've got to read the

1025
01:23:36,180 --> 01:23:42,220
history book. All right? You've got to teach. Just teach regular class. Leave the politics

1026
01:23:42,220 --> 01:23:49,700
politics out. Because I'm telling you, Communist is on its way, and if you don't, and if you

1027
01:23:49,700 --> 01:23:52,680
allow it, you see, is this guy fired yet? Is he fired?

1028
01:23:57,580 --> 01:24:00,600
Just fire him. Fire him, find

1029
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:05,720
the other teachers, put them on paid leave, and have an investigation. Just do that.

1030
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:11,060
Who cares about the politics? It's the kids that count. I was worried about the

1031
01:24:11,060 --> 01:24:14,740
kids when I went through my situation. I was really, really worried about the kids.

1032
01:24:14,740 --> 01:24:18,280
And he threw me under the bus and threw me out like trash.

1033
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,540
Meanwhile, the guy was driving my route.

1034
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,160
He was a sick bastard.

1035
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,020
And he gets a raise in his Director of Transportation at Freakin' Lodi.

1036
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:27,700
Thank you.

1037
01:24:28,780 --> 01:24:28,780
Before

1038
01:24:37,930 --> 01:24:42,810
you speak, do you mind if I just need to gavel in and call the meeting back to order?

1039
01:24:43,070 --> 01:24:43,970
I failed to do that.

1040
01:24:44,110 --> 01:24:47,950
So I'm just going to call the meeting back to order at 7.

1041
01:24:48,070 --> 01:24:48,650
I'll say 7.

1042
01:24:48,770 --> 01:24:50,350
It was 7.20 when we came out here.

1043
01:24:50,650 --> 01:24:51,590
27 p.m.

1044
01:24:51,590 --> 01:24:52,610
Please go ahead.

1045
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:53,190
Thank you.

1046
01:24:53,990 --> 01:24:54,970
Good evening, everyone.

1047
01:24:55,830 --> 01:24:57,810
I don't have any kids at Intercom anymore,

1048
01:24:57,990 --> 01:25:00,610
but they did attend Intercom High School

1049
01:25:00,610 --> 01:25:02,130
a couple of years ago and last year.

1050
01:25:02,730 --> 01:25:04,690
What I'm concerned about is the fact

1051
01:25:04,690 --> 01:25:07,330
that we have taken God out of the classroom,

1052
01:25:07,570 --> 01:25:10,290
but we're letting in this type of evil, which is socialism.

1053
01:25:11,790 --> 01:25:16,090
Why is it that it's so hard to let God back in

1054
01:25:16,090 --> 01:25:18,130
and have a balance?

1055
01:25:18,730 --> 01:25:21,430
These kids that are being taught Marxism

1056
01:25:21,430 --> 01:25:27,170
and socialism. If you guys have noticed, they are more depressive. They don't have accountability.

1057
01:25:27,810 --> 01:25:35,110
They're always playing the victim. We need teachers that really care for our kids not

1058
01:25:35,710 --> 01:25:44,390
because of their agenda. These kids nowadays with COVID, with the lockdown, they don't need

1059
01:25:44,390 --> 01:25:51,270
socialism. What they need is accountability. And exactly from what I saw on the article,

1060
01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:55,710
that he's saying, I'm going to scare the F out of them.

1061
01:25:56,370 --> 01:25:58,970
And then now he's talking about he's scared for his life

1062
01:25:58,970 --> 01:26:01,430
because Veritas put him out there.

1063
01:26:02,190 --> 01:26:05,530
What kind of example is that to our children

1064
01:26:05,530 --> 01:26:08,610
and he's teaching our kids, high school kids,

1065
01:26:08,850 --> 01:26:15,650
our future leaders, this guy and whoever is associated

1066
01:26:15,650 --> 01:26:18,730
with him needs to be out of that environment

1067
01:26:18,730 --> 01:26:20,270
where our kids are.

1068
01:26:20,270 --> 01:26:26,510
I'm going to have grandchildren and I don't want my grandchildren to be exposed to this.

1069
01:26:27,170 --> 01:26:34,710
Unfortunately, all our parents here do not have the capability to homeschool or take them to private school.

1070
01:26:35,010 --> 01:26:39,910
We are depending on you guys to give that kind of environment for our kids.

1071
01:26:40,330 --> 01:26:46,250
Keep them safe. Do not send them to a depressive in a black hole state

1072
01:26:46,850 --> 01:26:52,390
because that is what's happening to our kids now look at them talk to them ask

1073
01:26:52,390 --> 01:26:56,010
them because right now these kids can't even speak up for themselves in the

1074
01:26:56,010 --> 01:26:57,970
classroom because they're afraid they're gonna get an F.

1075
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,680
Good evening y'all so I

1076
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:16,820
have four school-aged children and yes parents you know we see this you know but

1077
01:27:16,820 --> 01:27:19,840
there's nothing we can say or we can do it's like our hands are tied and you

1078
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,540
all ignore it and act like it's not happening the one time you guys get

1079
01:27:23,540 --> 01:27:27,980
caught I mean what are you guys gonna do just oh act like you didn't know come on

1080
01:27:27,980 --> 01:27:35,740
now you guys know what's going on hey I'd like to give a special I'd like to

1081
01:27:35,740 --> 01:27:39,200
give a special shout-out to Gabe thank you for telling on all your buddies

1082
01:27:42,020 --> 01:27:42,460
hello

1083
01:27:51,870 --> 01:27:57,290
my name is Wendy and as a former teacher I know that we're not allowed to

1084
01:27:57,290 --> 01:28:00,230
share our political views and the students shouldn't know what we believe

1085
01:28:00,230 --> 01:28:01,230
no matter what we're teaching.

1086
01:28:01,450 --> 01:28:03,950
We're to teach the content and teach it professionally.

1087
01:28:04,710 --> 01:28:06,470
Obviously Gabriel did not do that

1088
01:28:06,470 --> 01:28:08,630
and we've heard lots of complaints about that tonight.

1089
01:28:09,270 --> 01:28:12,430
But my concern is with the Facebook page

1090
01:28:12,430 --> 01:28:14,370
that says Natomas Unified School Forum

1091
01:28:14,950 --> 01:28:17,310
and we have a board member, Lisa Kaplan,

1092
01:28:17,890 --> 01:28:19,690
who was an admin for that board member,

1093
01:28:19,950 --> 01:28:22,090
for that Facebook page.

1094
01:28:22,670 --> 01:28:24,850
And today when a parent asked to see the video,

1095
01:28:25,390 --> 01:28:28,050
I posted the video from Project Veritas,

1096
01:28:28,050 --> 01:28:34,690
the Facebook link, and her response was this is inappropriate for this forum

1097
01:28:34,690 --> 01:28:40,470
and will be deleted. She says

1098
01:28:45,940 --> 01:28:47,960
this is inappropriate for this forum and it will

1099
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:52,160
be deleted. Feel free to Google on your own. It's an autonomous unified school

1100
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:58,060
forum page that's public. And my response to that was why are we censoring

1101
01:28:58,060 --> 01:29:02,140
this? It's inappropriate what the teacher did. So you're censoring the

1102
01:29:02,140 --> 01:29:06,200
parents from knowing what happened and you have no problem with that but you

1103
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:11,480
didn't censor the teacher so he had it blatantly on his walls so why are you

1104
01:29:11,480 --> 01:29:15,640
censoring parents and not the teacher why is what we want to see inappropriate

1105
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,880
his own words why are his own words inappropriate because he's been caught

1106
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:26,860
but what he's doing is not inappropriate Marilyn

1107
01:29:37,330 --> 01:29:39,390
Jackson director at

1108
01:29:39,390 --> 01:29:47,250
educationimpact.us. We are a California coalition of 18 organizations. We have conferences,

1109
01:29:47,810 --> 01:29:55,270
workshops and town halls to protect kids. Parents are already freaked out over the age

1110
01:29:55,270 --> 01:29:59,930
inappropriate sex ed and critical race theory and now they find out

1111
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:21,520
I would like to draw the Board's attention to the California Education Code Article 4, number

1112
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:29,940
number 5130 no teacher giving instruction in any school or on any property belonging to

1113
01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:37,520
any agencies including the public school system shall advocate or teach communism with the

1114
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:45,600
intent to indoctrinate or to inco-cate in the mind of any pupil a preference for communism.

1115
01:30:46,940 --> 01:30:49,820
I believe you guys took an oath to uphold that.

1116
01:30:51,150 --> 01:31:01,220
I ask you to consider the kids, the parents, the California Ed Code, and your legacy, your

1117
01:31:01,220 --> 01:31:06,140
personal legacy, because the entire nation is watching.

1118
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:17,200
As of last month, 54 school districts and 135 school board members were targeted for recall.

1119
01:31:17,460 --> 01:31:19,260
Parents are not putting up with this anymore.

1120
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:28,240
I urge you to dismiss the teacher and any other ANTIFA affiliated teachers in your school

1121
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:28,640
district.

1122
01:31:28,940 --> 01:31:29,520
Thank you.

1123
01:31:43,780 --> 01:31:44,340
Hello, everyone.

1124
01:31:44,700 --> 01:31:45,200
I'm Bobby.

1125
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:47,580
I'm a sophomore here at Indercom.

1126
01:31:47,700 --> 01:31:48,580
I go to school here.

1127
01:31:48,580 --> 01:31:51,360
I am under all of your instruction.

1128
01:31:52,220 --> 01:31:57,200
I was called last year when I started freshman year under the lockdown, politically illiterate

1129
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,140
in all of my beliefs, politically illiterate under-guype.

1130
01:32:00,980 --> 01:32:03,060
A teacher I didn't even have, I didn't even know the guy.

1131
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:08,800
I was called politically illiterate for comparing his system and this entire system of the

1132
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,940
lockdown and all of that to socialism.

1133
01:32:12,860 --> 01:32:13,680
Politically illiterate.

1134
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:20,760
Now, I have to say, I had a teacher before all of this, eighth grade, right before the

1135
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:27,220
lockdown happened, Mr. Fernandez, he escaped communist Cuba, moved to Russia, then that

1136
01:32:27,220 --> 01:32:33,660
went communist and we went to the Soviet state. Socialism takes your health care first,

1137
01:32:33,860 --> 01:32:38,880
they own your body. Second, they take your education, they own your mind. This needs

1138
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:39,360
change!

1139
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:42,980
He's changed now!

1140
01:32:45,790 --> 01:32:50,770
What else to say but you all need to rethink all of this and it needs

1141
01:32:50,770 --> 01:32:57,490
change. I was in a class, I'm Jewish, I was in a class and there was a free Palestine sign next

1142
01:32:57,490 --> 01:33:03,490
to a Planned Parenthood sign, flags of the LGBTQ and women's rights. Do you not see the irony,

1143
01:33:03,710 --> 01:33:09,170
the contradiction that's being taught? They were telling us we must identify with history

1144
01:33:09,170 --> 01:33:16,150
personally. I need to personally identify with Hitler to know what he did wrong. No! Thank

1145
01:33:16,150 --> 01:33:18,750
you. Thank you.

1146
01:33:35,140 --> 01:33:36,020
That was my son,

1147
01:33:44,230 --> 01:33:48,830
Deborah Hosampa. He is in 10th grade. The beginning

1148
01:33:48,830 --> 01:33:58,810
of the year started with a history teacher. How incredible. In this class, which he just

1149
01:33:58,810 --> 01:34:10,690
spoke of, he went to voice his discomfort because it's just something that, you know, yes, there

1150
01:34:10,690 --> 01:34:15,750
are times whether you agree with it, whether you don't agree with it, but for these children

1151
01:34:16,090 --> 01:34:24,630
to have to see these images for an hour and try to absorb them without any explanation

1152
01:34:24,630 --> 01:34:32,550
of what they are or what it means to them and they don't.

1153
01:34:32,830 --> 01:34:35,690
They're just inundated with images without explanation.

1154
01:34:36,450 --> 01:34:37,790
Go along to get along.

1155
01:34:38,230 --> 01:34:40,190
Well, he won't do that and I won't do that.

1156
01:34:42,730 --> 01:34:45,910
I do have a question in regards to curriculum.

1157
01:34:46,610 --> 01:34:48,410
Last year it was very difficult.

1158
01:34:49,290 --> 01:34:51,850
I know the previous year I was so excited.

1159
01:34:51,850 --> 01:34:57,550
the school district bought new curriculum books.

1160
01:34:57,650 --> 01:34:59,250
We got to go and pick and browse

1161
01:34:59,250 --> 01:35:01,650
and see which ones and voted on them.

1162
01:35:02,330 --> 01:35:04,810
So last year, he got all of his workbooks,

1163
01:35:04,990 --> 01:35:06,870
his books, brought them home.

1164
01:35:07,850 --> 01:35:09,910
Not one teacher used those books.

1165
01:35:10,650 --> 01:35:12,170
They had their own curriculum.

1166
01:35:13,070 --> 01:35:14,350
Where is that from?

1167
01:35:14,510 --> 01:35:15,530
Is it approved by you?

1168
01:35:16,230 --> 01:35:18,250
Do you know what each of those classes are teaching?

1169
01:35:18,470 --> 01:35:18,870
You don't.

1170
01:35:18,870 --> 01:35:23,090
Because in his history class this year that he had for a week,

1171
01:35:25,190 --> 01:35:26,890
they took identity tests.

1172
01:35:27,550 --> 01:35:29,210
They took personality quizzes.

1173
01:35:29,610 --> 01:35:33,970
A 14-year-old taking a personality quiz in a history class.

1174
01:35:34,430 --> 01:35:35,130
For what?

1175
01:35:36,010 --> 01:35:39,850
Exactly how does that relate to history is the question.

1176
01:35:40,450 --> 01:35:41,730
And that was his question.

1177
01:35:42,250 --> 01:35:48,490
My husband who's a psychology data analytics person said you will not do this homework.

1178
01:35:48,490 --> 01:35:55,290
work. We send an email to the teacher saying, this is inappropriate, give him a history assignment.

1179
01:35:56,990 --> 01:36:05,150
She did, somewhat. Then the next day, same thing. But this time, he emailed his counselor

1180
01:36:05,150 --> 01:36:09,770
saying, I think I need to be moved from the class. Then he was called up by the teacher

1181
01:36:09,770 --> 01:36:12,850
and she said, I think you need to be moved out of this class.

1182
01:36:14,890 --> 01:36:16,750
So, I don't think that's

1183
01:36:16,750 --> 01:36:23,430
fair for him. He didn't do anything wrong. She did. And she was uncomfortable I think

1184
01:36:23,430 --> 01:36:31,910
with that fact and the fact that we were pushing back. Time, it's time. Okay, so I have just

1185
01:36:31,910 --> 01:36:39,990
one more minute. Why even today they have yet to crack the books? Why did we spend

1186
01:36:39,990 --> 01:36:45,010
hundreds of thousands of dollars on curriculum when they're not using it? That's my question

1187
01:36:45,010 --> 01:36:52,670
I want to know, and if you know what the curriculum is, because it's all worksheets and not books,

1188
01:36:54,370 --> 01:36:55,090
including math.

1189
01:37:07,940 --> 01:37:08,220
All right.

1190
01:37:08,300 --> 01:37:11,100
Madam Chair, I'm going to motion for another recess.

1191
01:37:14,230 --> 01:37:14,610
Second.

1192
01:37:15,650 --> 01:37:16,810
Back of the motion.

1193
01:37:24,630 --> 01:37:27,610
Is there a prior unanimous roll call without objection?

1194
01:37:47,830 --> 01:37:50,150
I'm going to make an announcement right now for everyone.

1195
01:37:51,550 --> 01:37:59,570
members members of the public pursuant to government code section 54955

1196
01:38:01,090 --> 01:38:02,770
I have can

1197
01:38:05,260 --> 01:38:06,620
you hear me now I

1198
01:38:13,630 --> 01:38:15,490
you know I don't have can you hear me now
