These entities no longer 120 00:18:47,606 --> 00:18:48,741 consider themselves organizations advocating for the wages, the hours and working conditions of their 121 00:18:51,711 --> 00:18:54,380 members, but rather social justice organizations pushing arousal full agenda to tear down and transform american 122 00:19:07,192 --> 00:19:10,663 society. They should immediately take all actions necessary to ensure classrooms in the district in the future, not just in the past, remain free of the 123 00:19:12,297 --> 00:19:16,034 political agenda of individual teachers and labor unions.

How many in the past were not 137 00:20:53,232 --> 00:20:53,232 properly dealt with? I would encourage all teachers 138 00:21:04,176 --> 00:21:06,445 within the sound of my voice to reevaluate their membership in the natomas teachers association or the california 139 00:21:09,548 --> 00:21:13,219 teachers association. These organizations do more to harm the education of our kids than most other organizations in the state. Going forward, I appreciate 140 00:21:14,953 --> 00:21:14,953 that you are working through a thorough and investigation into 141 00:21:19,825 --> 00:21:23,796 the teacher.

We've got to give parents a chance to choose for the best of their kids education, 143 00:21:34,006 --> 00:21:36,075 opportunities for the future.

What has been expose about gabriel -- by project veritas 147 00:22:19,952 --> 00:22:22,154 is what I was concerned about happening with an elementary school. Twin rivers unified school 148 00:22:28,961 --> 00:22:32,431 district who was and is not allowing parents or guardians on campus. As educators, your job as academics, not morals, not values, religion, political 149 00:22:34,601 --> 00:22:34,601 ideology or anything outside of academics. 150 00:22:39,705 --> 00:22:40,840 we have 24 sacramento students who are abandoned in afghanistan. You guys are sitting here 151 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,015 saying you have somebody preaching communism on paid leave?o those lives mean nothing to you? 152 00:22:52,117 --> 00:22:52,117 what will you say to those children's peers who are 153 00:22:58,323 --> 00:22:59,825 asking, where are my friends? When are they coming home? And you stand by this man, preaching antifa and communism 154 00:23:04,497 --> 00:23:04,497 in our classrooms.

The board needs to take notice that the parents in this 163 00:24:14,901 --> 00:24:17,936 district want their kids taught skills and knowledge that will help them to be productive members of this society and 164 00:24:24,677 --> 00:24:27,513 this country to whom we have just finished pledging our allegiance to. Not to be disruptors, and to 165 00:24:30,482 --> 00:24:30,482 participate in the overthrow of their parents values or the 166 00:24:38,357 --> 00:24:41,226 values of the united states of america. Having had this man's blatant abuse of position go on for the 167 00:24:46,565 --> 00:24:48,834 last several years that he has been here, casts a shadow of doubt over the, over the management of who is hiring and 168 00:24:56,542 --> 00:25:00,179 who is evaluating what is going on in our classroom. And I want the board members to pay much closer attention to 169 00:25:05,752 --> 00:25:05,752 the court purpose that the district was founded for and 170 00:25:12,325 --> 00:25:12,325 that is to educate our kids, not to indoctrinate them. 171 00:25:18,330 --> 00:25:18,330 thank you. [applause] 172 00:25:30,309 --> 00:25:30,309 >> richard -- monique, jennifer lane, and I'm sorry, 173 00:25:54,267 --> 00:25:54,267 I'm sorry I recognize that but I didn't know if there was a 174 00:26:00,339 --> 00:26:00,339 name in front of that, I could not see it. 175 00:26:05,444 --> 00:26:06,946 >> good evening. My name is richard gilbert, natomas unified parent. Some of my best experiences in 176 00:26:14,787 --> 00:26:17,090 high score discussing current events and social issues in my classes. But not once, did I ever know 177 00:26:19,558 --> 00:26:19,558 how my teacher felt about those things. 178 00:26:24,296 --> 00:26:26,532 I had my suspicions, everyone is human but I never knew if he was republican or democrat or if she was conservative or 179 00:26:29,102 --> 00:26:29,102 liberal, I didn't know! That is a type of discussion I 180 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,108 expected no social studies classes in this district. I have heard, like everyone, and it does around the country 181 00:26:38,177 --> 00:26:38,177 of left-wing indoctrination in schools. 182 00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:44,751 people would always tell me it is just an isolated incident, don't worry about it. It has hit home for me now. 183 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:48,320 I would like to say that I am glad the board is taking this 184 00:26:54,259 --> 00:26:54,259 action, to start the process to fire this individual. Know 185 00:27:01,767 --> 00:27:03,235 it is not something that can be done overnight. But this does not begin and end with him. 186 00:27:06,072 --> 00:27:09,608 he was enabled for years, complaints were filed and nothing was done. And people bear responsibility 187 00:27:16,749 --> 00:27:20,552 for that.ather it is the principles, administration, whoever!nd I asked for a full investigation, not just 188 00:27:21,754 --> 00:27:21,754 from the high school but from the district. 189 00:27:39,205 --> 00:27:40,239 rights as a parent to be trampled. Pi have to be here today, , thi is not limited for your 190 00:27:46,145 --> 00:27:48,347 information, is not limited to the the high school.

We were silent when you mandated masks on our children, 199 00:28:56,582 --> 00:28:56,582 when -- and cal osha knows their 10 percent effective. 200 00:29:07,393 --> 00:29:09,461 we were silent when you began mentioning sexual preferences in kindergarten. We have been silent when you 201 00:29:11,931 --> 00:29:11,931 began teaching explicit sexual education in eighth grade and 202 00:29:18,270 --> 00:29:21,607 not giving us this information ahead of time. High school, kids are having sex in the bathroom, they are 203 00:29:26,145 --> 00:29:26,145 vaping in the bathroom there at inderkum. 204 00:29:30,349 --> 00:29:30,349 four guns were at the football game the other night and you do 205 00:29:37,423 --> 00:29:39,559 not tell the parents anything. I know because I have a daughter there tells me these things. 206 00:29:42,461 --> 00:29:45,464 race is being taught. The first day of school my daughter goes, her teacher tells her that white is the 207 00:29:46,999 --> 00:29:46,999 worst race there is. They tell her that you cannot 208 00:29:52,405 --> 00:29:52,405 be racist against white people. This is just too much. 209 00:29:56,542 --> 00:30:00,346 this man being fired, is not everything that we want. We need our rights back his parents. 210 00:30:04,617 --> 00:30:07,186 and we need to know what you're going to do to protect our rights and our children in the future. 211 00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:09,220 thank you. 212 00:30:25,538 --> 00:30:26,739 >> thank you for allowing me to speak. I also want to think project veritas because without their 213 00:30:30,910 --> 00:30:30,910 -- 214 00:30:37,182 --> 00:30:40,820 you guys would have done nothing because he did nothing when the students complained. And when a student complaint, mr. -- stood up before the class and bullied him and said 215 00:30:45,124 --> 00:30:45,124 if this flag bothers you, you must be who it is supposed to 216 00:30:52,999 --> 00:30:52,999 bother, he told the students, to put the photos up on the 217 00:30:59,838 --> 00:31:02,408 wall to identify their ideologies. Children do not come to school to identify their ideology, they come to learn to become productive citizens. 218 00:31:04,543 --> 00:31:04,543 my brother graduated from inderkum with 3.9 gpa. 219 00:31:12,684 --> 00:31:14,420 he and his fellow peers right after graduation joined the united states marine corps. I cannot imagine that if that 220 00:31:19,925 --> 00:31:21,960 person taught my brother what path he would have been on, if he was brainwashed and indoctrinated in this crap, 221 00:31:25,897 --> 00:31:28,434 that he's teaching that you guys are paying him to teach, that we are paying him to teach, my brothers are proud 222 00:31:30,569 --> 00:31:30,569 native american marine and my son says, the model in 223 00:31:36,342 --> 00:31:39,078 residential schools to kill the indian and save the child. He is killing the american child and saving communism. 224 00:31:45,417 --> 00:31:45,417 is this a residential school or is this a public school? 225 00:32:05,204 --> 00:32:07,873 little bit different. I will make an announcement. Would like to do is ask a question see a little bit of my 226 00:32:10,643 --> 00:32:13,913 time for the superintendent. We've attempted to get comments from the school district, we attempted on the day of our 227 00:32:17,517 --> 00:32:21,353 investigation, we were turned over and the police were called. A couple of questions and it's 228 00:32:25,024 --> 00:32:28,594 simple. First thing is pretty clear the current policy in place by the school district are not sufficient to monitor teachers curriculum and my question is 229 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,502 simply is there going to be a change to the policies. In my follow-up question superintendent evans, obviously 230 00:32:41,241 --> 00:32:41,241 the investigation graded results, you acted -- my 231 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:47,680 question is, are you happy we expose this? 232 00:32:52,384 --> 00:32:55,654 chris unfortunately public, does not allow me as the president shared -- [booing] 233 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,000 [inaudible] >> alright so I think I noted 234 00:33:15,307 --> 00:33:16,909 earlier that -- >> if you're not willing to give public comment and are understand tha . 235 00:33:23,615 --> 00:33:24,851 but if you'd like to speak afterwards I think that would do a lot to alleviate concerns. I noticed that you gave an 236 00:33:28,554 --> 00:33:30,356 interview to sacramento -- >> yes. >> hopefully you will be open to speaking to us after this. 237 00:33:35,928 --> 00:33:39,364 we can contact you? >> absolutely I'd love to meet with you later this week. Absolutely. [applause] >> moving onto the next speakers. 238 00:34:06,459 --> 00:34:06,459 my name is amir, my son is also here he's a student in the 239 00:34:21,474 --> 00:34:24,210 district. Everyone knows why we hear the indoctrination of our kids is unacceptable. There is a clear line in the sand that needs to be drawn. 240 00:34:26,144 --> 00:34:26,144 it is funny, I'm sitting here waiting for my turn to speak 241 00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:36,588 and I see all the district goals and it seems that the teacher has violated every single one of those goals. 242 00:34:38,791 --> 00:34:40,392 and it does not seem there's been any accountability to the brave project veritas reporter who came to alert the school of 243 00:34:44,429 --> 00:34:44,429 child abuse that's happening. I want to quote the teacher, 244 00:34:53,973 --> 00:34:56,008 reporter asked how to get the students to do this? And I'm quoting, I scare the -- out of them. 245 00:35:01,447 --> 00:35:01,447 that is child abuse. And this not only is his 246 00:35:06,452 --> 00:35:08,654 termination need to be taken effective immediately, but I believe a criminal investigation needs to happen. 247 00:35:18,297 --> 00:35:20,565 accountability. How, if a reporter who comes in with press credentials and says we have a clear case of abuse, 248 00:35:25,303 --> 00:35:25,303 we want to show you this video and they are turned away and 249 00:35:35,981 --> 00:35:38,051 the cops are called on them, you guys are public servants were taxpayer-funded, we pay everything here. 250 00:35:40,185 --> 00:35:44,056 right? Accountability, who is monitoring the classroom 251 00:35:46,058 --> 00:35:46,058 environment? Did someone not go around and 252 00:35:50,329 --> 00:35:50,329 say what should be in the classroom. 253 00:35:54,667 --> 00:35:54,667 two flags, that one and that one. 254 00:35:58,771 --> 00:36:00,406 I think we all pretty disgusted with the politics going on these days it does not need to happen to my son who is heading 255 00:36:03,342 --> 00:36:03,342 to a public high school or anybody else. 256 00:36:13,853 --> 00:36:13,853 thank you. [applause] 257 00:36:18,824 --> 00:36:18,824 >> my name is david, I live in the community. 258 00:36:22,895 --> 00:36:22,895 I was shocked when I saw this on the news. 259 00:36:28,834 --> 00:36:30,903 I don't even hardly know what to say.eaching communism in the public school system is evil, it is nonsense. 260 00:36:38,844 --> 00:36:42,582 I've been to the former soviet union seven times and I know what they do over there. I worked with communist refugees for 40 years. Since I was 12 years old. 261 00:36:43,783 --> 00:36:45,584 I know what it means when entire families are blown to pieces and killed. Okay? 262 00:36:49,855 --> 00:36:49,855 that's where this is going. This is evil, darkness, it is 263 00:36:54,426 --> 00:36:56,429 hell and is a criminals for abusing our children, there are principles, there are principles, co-conspirators, 264 00:37:00,366 --> 00:37:03,569 accessories and principles in this crime. Okay? They need to be gone. 265 00:37:06,372 --> 00:37:08,407 all of these people are criminals and you need to treat them like criminals. The principal, the vice 266 00:37:12,544 --> 00:37:15,814 principal and the board has to go. I've heard that there are two other teachers teaching this 267 00:37:18,351 --> 00:37:18,351 evil in our schools. There are three teachers, 268 00:37:24,156 --> 00:37:26,793 that's evil, little innocent children sitting here that I see, I look in their faces, their pure innocence, pure love 269 00:37:28,494 --> 00:37:28,494 and these evil people are putting stuff into them. 270 00:37:35,402 --> 00:37:35,402 this has got to stop.

We know it antifa organization 282 00:38:56,448 --> 00:38:56,448 is no different than the -- national socialist party before 283 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:01,920 the nazis came into power. We know that in the factly of 284 00:39:16,035 --> 00:39:17,671 such a pedestrian response to what is happened, like just buy the book, we just got a go by this section and that section. 285 00:39:21,307 --> 00:39:23,042 what about principles? What about the kids who have followed this man's path, went up to oregon, maybe burned some 286 00:39:25,845 --> 00:39:28,314 buildings down there. What about them?

If this investigation does not 298 00:40:45,558 --> 00:40:48,361 expose everything and you are above the board and transparent, I tell you to pick anybody out here to be on the 299 00:40:51,697 --> 00:40:54,500 investigative body. You're not going to get it done and we will not be satisfied. This isn't going away this will 300 00:40:59,105 --> 00:40:59,105 be a lot bigger and if you do not have more of this open 301 00:41:04,410 --> 00:41:05,678 discussions and revealing what is really going on with our schools, it will get uglier. It is really going to get 302 00:41:11,651 --> 00:41:13,485 uglier.

They went all the way back to my junior high school. How far did you go back?

Okay? He's a bully, he is not 319 00:43:38,231 --> 00:43:38,231 teaching what kids need to hear, what kids need to learn. 320 00:43:45,804 --> 00:43:48,340 he is not teaching for the student. He is teaching for himself. Half of these teachers that are 321 00:43:50,476 --> 00:43:53,312 in there, you guys should really take a long look at. They are teaching their craft, teaching their agenda, it is 322 00:43:57,350 --> 00:43:57,350 not what kids need to hear or what kids should be learning. 323 00:44:03,655 --> 00:44:05,658 socialism is communism, it's beyond that. The flag on the wall we talked about that. 324 00:44:07,827 --> 00:44:07,827 my family tree holds two murdered police officers. 325 00:44:12,298 --> 00:44:12,298 my nephew just got out of afghanistan and my son is -- I 326 00:44:23,443 --> 00:44:26,878 know him saying what america means to us and our family and to these kids. It is something special, we cannot have it taught down a school we cannot have teachers 327 00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:34,020 putting down america, inciting racism, inciting all different 328 00:44:41,026 --> 00:44:42,028 types of things. These kids do not need to hear it, they do not need to be anywhere that suggest that you 329 00:44:45,031 --> 00:44:45,031 get -- I suggest you get counseling for his former 330 00:44:49,868 --> 00:44:51,603 students. Thank you. [applause] >> could you state your name 331 00:45:06,352 --> 00:45:08,721 for the record, please? >> my name is christopher. You guys fired gabriel gipe today. 332 00:45:12,357 --> 00:45:13,393 because you all got caught yesterday. You know? Okay, we as people mention, 333 00:45:19,865 --> 00:45:23,402 this guy had an antifa flag on the wall. He was indoctrinating these kids every single day. 334 00:45:27,873 --> 00:45:27,873 he was abusing them, scaring them every single day. 335 00:45:34,146 --> 00:45:37,150 where the hell was the principal? Where were the vice principals? Where was the faculty of the school? Where was it superintendent, 336 00:45:38,151 --> 00:45:40,586 where was the rest of the district? Where were you? He was fired today, why was he 337 00:45:44,657 --> 00:45:47,626 not fired one year ago? Why not two years ago? Why did this go on for so long? Why are you only doing anything 338 00:45:50,596 --> 00:45:53,999 about it now? Because you got caught. Exactly. And you guys will be held 339 00:46:00,372 --> 00:46:03,442 accountable. This is because of you. Okay? Gabriel gipe is a symptom, not the sickness. The sicknesses in the district. 340 00:46:08,847 --> 00:46:08,847 it is in the school, it's everywhere!people are sick of 341 00:46:12,885 --> 00:46:14,520 it. We are aware of and we know what's going on. Especially now and we know what 342 00:46:19,325 --> 00:46:21,294 you are doing and you cannot let this go. You cannot fire one guy and call it quits and it's done. 343 00:46:28,167 --> 00:46:31,337 it is not done. You will have to do something about this. We want policy in the schools, we want written policy change and we want you to follow the 344 00:46:33,439 --> 00:46:33,439 rules you're already supposed to be following. 345 00:46:38,244 --> 00:46:41,380 we want investigation as other people mention. When an investigation, a criminal investigation. By an unbiased third party, not internal investigation. 346 00:46:47,753 --> 00:46:51,691 [applause] where you can let yourselves off the hook. You have to be held accountable. You can get ahead of this and it do something about it. You can actually care with the 347 00:46:53,793 --> 00:46:57,630 people in your community and the parents of the students were supposed to be taking care of, what they've said and care about and what they want. Law-abiding citizens of the 348 00:47:02,067 --> 00:47:03,603 community want or you can double down and hide. It won't work because we will be back. 349 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,175 we will be back. We heard today we will be here next weekend every board meeting you have. 350 00:47:11,678 --> 00:47:13,011 okay? You have to do something. Do something now. Do something now. 351 00:47:27,159 --> 00:47:27,159 johnson, I am with -- news. Just before I even asked my 352 00:47:34,300 --> 00:47:37,436 question, is anywhere from the board going to be available after to speak with us? And if not I will ask my questions here. [inaudible] 353 00:47:40,073 --> 00:47:40,073 I'm asking because we have been trying to get comments, we have 354 00:47:45,844 --> 00:47:47,145 been calling the offices, we have been emailing. So I will just -- [inaudible] I will ask the two questions I 355 00:47:52,084 --> 00:47:52,084 have right now. How many prior complaints have 356 00:48:03,596 --> 00:48:07,566 been made against gabriel gipe and have they been reported to inderkum high school? What were the complaints, what happened and what actions were taken by the school? 357 00:48:09,368 --> 00:48:11,304 and if no actions were taken, why not? And then another question, the teacher in question, gabriel 358 00:48:16,976 --> 00:48:18,677 gipe, stated other teachers shared his beliefs. Has the board taken steps to identify any of those teachers 359 00:48:21,481 --> 00:48:23,315 who may have been sharing their opinions in the classrooms? And if so, what actions are being taken? 360 00:48:28,387 --> 00:48:31,390 [applause] will anyone be available after to answer those questions? [inaudible] 361 00:48:40,399 --> 00:48:40,399 thank you for your time. >> good evening, my name is 362 00:49:00,786 --> 00:49:00,786 luis ortega. A resident in the district. 363 00:49:09,895 --> 00:49:13,031 my son actually just recently graduated from inderkum high school the past year. That being said, the reason I'm here tonight is to voice my concerns. 364 00:49:17,904 --> 00:49:21,674 of the starting revelation was brought to my attention yesterday from a video that surfaced on one of the teacher by the name of gabriel gipe. My first initial thoughts upon 365 00:49:23,909 --> 00:49:24,776 viewing the video was disbelief. Frustration, disappointment and anger. 366 00:49:28,714 --> 00:49:31,584 anger that a teacher at inderkum high school, and I will quote what he said, openly I have a 180 days to make 367 00:49:36,456 --> 00:49:36,456 revolutionaries. In his response, they asked him 368 00:49:41,927 --> 00:49:44,097 how do you do that? His response was, I scared the f out of them. As a parent this is alarming! 369 00:49:52,038 --> 00:49:52,038 alarming that the school staff, the principal, the vice 370 00:49:56,308 --> 00:49:59,779 principal, other teachers and faculty did nothing, and allow this indoctrination of the ideologies and beliefs to 371 00:50:04,116 --> 00:50:07,219 cultivate in his classroom! They did nothing! According to your statement that you guys released 372 00:50:09,455 --> 00:50:12,859 yesterday, that whenever civic education includes topics that may be controversial, with political beliefs or 373 00:50:16,795 --> 00:50:18,964 influences, instruction shall be presented in a balanced manner that does not promote any particular viewpoint. 374 00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:25,771 are you going to sit here and tell me, that mr. Gabriel gipe and the way he presents the subject matter is not his 375 00:50:35,647 --> 00:50:39,051 viewpoint? Where is the american flag in his classroom? Where is a constitutional literature, declaration of independence hanging in his 376 00:50:40,653 --> 00:50:43,589 classroom? Nowhere. Is it not the responsibly of the district to evaluate the 377 00:50:48,260 --> 00:50:50,396 teachers? Let me answer that for you. Yes, it is! According to regarding board, 378 00:50:57,603 --> 00:50:59,538 they shall be confident in methodologies used by the teachers they evaluate. Be skilled in instruction and 379 00:51:06,212 --> 00:51:08,380 techniques and procedures related to evaluation of the instruction. It is your responsibility, to 380 00:51:12,251 --> 00:51:15,421 know what he is teaching. And it's been going on for years! And you allowed it to happen! 381 00:51:16,322 --> 00:51:16,322 that tells me you're not following your own governing 382 00:51:20,393 --> 00:51:20,393 board, your own rules. You are responsible for that! 383 00:51:26,332 --> 00:51:26,332 why? Why allow this to go on? 384 00:51:34,473 --> 00:51:38,377 >> all right -- >> the school district has failed in my opinion and I will finish with this last thought. Because you allowed this indoctrination mr. Gabriel gipe 385 00:51:40,745 --> 00:51:40,745 and his politically ideology to flirt in his classroom. 386 00:51:45,618 --> 00:51:48,354 we have an opportunity to correct this. Everything has been brought to light and like everyone is 387 00:51:52,191 --> 00:51:53,458 saying, it doesn't end with mr. Gabriel gipe. Their deep rooted issues in the district. 388 00:51:56,996 --> 00:51:59,132 I hope you make the right choice and make a change with this. 389 00:52:06,806 --> 00:52:06,806 >> good evening, my name is rory. 390 00:52:15,348 --> 00:52:18,317 although I do not have a student at inderkum I'm a member of the community and a parent myself. I like to start off by saying that I am neither far right nor 391 00:52:25,424 --> 00:52:28,427 far left of my political ideologies I'm neutral in my stance. Not come before you this evening to discuss politics, the if ms. Video of mr. Gabriel 392 00:52:30,529 --> 00:52:33,332 gipe was sent to me by my son due to the fact that I live in north -- I got midway through the video and had to pause. 393 00:52:35,034 --> 00:52:35,034 it infuriated me. I was shocked a person like mr. 394 00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:41,707 gabriel gipe was being permitted to teach the children in my community. In the statement given by 395 00:52:46,779 --> 00:52:48,981 natomas unified school district commonly referred to balanced instruction. As it pertains to roversial 396 00:52:59,358 --> 00:53:03,295 topics. It is very difficult for me to believe a teacher with such radical views could lead a balanced discussion. As with most things in life, an 397 00:53:05,197 --> 00:53:06,866 element of bias is almost always present, I find it difficult to believe his harsh views of government and society 398 00:53:09,568 --> 00:53:12,338 are not trickling down into his lectures to our students. I find his teaching methods to be similar to those of 399 00:53:13,739 --> 00:53:15,174 grooming. He's an authority figure whose life experiences and intellect, far outweigh those of his 400 00:53:19,980 --> 00:53:23,582 students. Prior to this meeting and heard at least one of his students come to his defense, arguing that he's an intelligent, kind, helpful person and does give 401 00:53:28,321 --> 00:53:30,256 two sides to his lectures. I have no doubt some of his students do in fact feel this way. 402 00:53:32,391 --> 00:53:34,059 as far as I can tell from his video, he's a predator of sorts. [applause] 403 00:53:39,531 --> 00:53:40,533 predators often possess all of these qualities. It is how they gain trust when a child trust the person in 404 00:53:44,871 --> 00:53:46,906 front of them, manipulate in the child becomes that much easier. Shaming students who do not 405 00:53:51,444 --> 00:53:54,814 subscribe to his radical views, seems acceptable to him and his environment. But let's be clear, it is not. 406 00:53:56,416 --> 00:53:58,050 it is not acceptable to ridicule, name call or disregard a student, their parents or any religious belief 407 00:54:02,889 --> 00:54:05,858 that may drive your actions or beliefs, simply because they do not coincide with his. -- I ased that you look at 408 00:54:15,601 --> 00:54:15,601 vetting future hires. [applause] 409 00:54:25,611 --> 00:54:27,346 >> josh -- first off, I think one of the things we need to worry about the most, you said you will take action. 410 00:54:33,833 --> 00:54:36,535 but in his own video he said, there's other teachers at this district, at that school, that share his same beliefs and 411 00:54:38,370 --> 00:54:38,370 teach the same way he does. I also want to turn this around 412 00:54:47,813 --> 00:54:50,316 and get a little people mad at me. It is your fault but is also the parents fault. When common core came out we let you slide. 413 00:54:55,354 --> 00:54:59,291 when all the sexual ed came out we let you slide. I don't think there's time for anymore and for all of these people to be shocked somehow that antifa is new or hasn't 414 00:55:05,298 --> 00:55:06,999 been around, you've had a bunch of proud patriots standing in the front line against these communist pastors for long time 415 00:55:10,569 --> 00:55:10,569 you love the fake news to destroy them intead of 416 00:55:18,077 --> 00:55:20,279 destroying the communists. It's all part of a bigger plan. You guys should be held responsible honestly I would be 417 00:55:22,515 --> 00:55:25,718 ashamed to go out and get coffee tomorrow morning. Really, I mean when you think about the history of this 418 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,920 country and what we used to do to folks that would do something such as child abuse toward children, and that man 419 00:55:31,958 --> 00:55:31,958 still is enjoying life right now, unfortunately, you guys 420 00:55:37,496 --> 00:55:39,397 have a lot to do and again, I don't know what the community is going to do, but I challenge the community right now.f I 421 00:55:42,201 --> 00:55:42,201 come back in six weeks, I want to see just as many people here 422 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,475 until you actually fix this. Maybe people on the board are the wrong people to be here. But again there been people 423 00:55:52,545 --> 00:55:52,545 fighting this for quite a long time. 424 00:56:00,686 --> 00:56:03,822 and they have been was a been the bad guy. It's time to change this. I tell everyone in this is time to come back and take america back. 425 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:14,400 >> we have the next speakers, 426 00:56:27,613 --> 00:56:27,613 robert is next. >> hello. 427 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:45,764 I would like to defer to the woman with the baby. She can take my place. I'm not sure where she went. 428 00:56:50,502 --> 00:56:50,502 I will be after her. >> good job, traditional 429 00:56:55,574 --> 00:56:55,574 values! [applause] 430 00:57:03,615 --> 00:57:06,852 >> I just ask that you state your name for the record please. >> yes, nicole. Do you need a last name or -- it's howard. 431 00:57:10,556 --> 00:57:10,556 >> okay nicole, thank you. >> I have been a natomas 432 00:57:18,097 --> 00:57:19,364 residences 2015. In the last six years I've embraced the harmoniously diverse portrait of our 433 00:57:24,236 --> 00:57:27,706 community. People from all different walks of life is what makes us unique. 434 00:57:28,674 --> 00:57:28,674 I was raised with an open mind and to respect people for who 435 00:57:34,213 --> 00:57:34,213 they are, even if they differ from me. 436 00:57:41,453 --> 00:57:44,022 these last 18 months have been the worst times I've ever seen. People are no longer respecting each other for the differences 437 00:57:45,858 --> 00:57:49,595 in opinion. They're pointing the finger and blaming each other. This is a time and place, this is not a time and place for expressing our individual 438 00:57:54,266 --> 00:57:57,837 beliefs, but a school is not one of them. Under no circumstances, should a teacher bestow, recruit or 439 00:58:03,475 --> 00:58:04,777 incentivize a student to conform to their belief system. The last time I checked it was not part of school curriculum. 440 00:58:11,450 --> 00:58:15,320 I'm here on behalf of my sister-in-law. She could not attend tonight. My nephew was gabriel's student. Gabriel is not a teacher. 441 00:58:18,391 --> 00:58:18,391 he is trying to teach our students about his communist 442 00:58:23,329 --> 00:58:23,329 beliefs. What I saw yesterday was an 443 00:58:29,301 --> 00:58:32,805 irrational person on a mission to form an army of communist revolutionaries. Never in my life have I witnessed this type of inappropriate behaviors from 444 00:58:34,940 --> 00:58:34,940 someone whose job it is to educate our students, these 445 00:58:41,881 --> 00:58:44,884 young adults have been through so much stress and trauma recently. The last thing they need is a power driven antifa member persuading them to join his 446 00:58:47,853 --> 00:58:47,853 army and hate does it have a difference in opinion. 447 00:58:57,830 --> 00:59:01,700 no political opinions of any teacher should ever be forced upon our students. This is not all about left or right, this is about what is right or wrong. 448 00:59:03,335 --> 00:59:03,335 we demand determination of this man -- termination of this man 449 00:59:09,808 --> 00:59:12,745 now why are we waiting? An investigation amongst other teachers who share the same ideas implementing these ideas 450 00:59:13,979 --> 00:59:15,381 on our children. No child should ever be subjected to these radical ideologies. 451 00:59:18,618 --> 00:59:18,618 >> thank you for your comments. >> he's dividing our students 452 00:59:27,359 --> 00:59:27,359 -- [inaudible] gabriel, hope you're just as 453 00:59:35,434 --> 00:59:35,434 uncomfortable as you made our students. 454 00:59:50,349 --> 00:59:51,616 board. >> please state your name for the record. >> my name is robert -- a 455 00:59:54,553 --> 00:59:56,221 resident of natomas. I like to ask members of the school board if they teach their children, foster children 456 01:00:02,461 --> 01:00:04,797 at a young relative or any young person they are custodian of, that they should join the antifascist action. 457 01:00:07,099 --> 01:00:10,670 or teach them if they feel comfortable about themselves, then they should change their gender. Or teach them to support planned parenthood or teach 458 01:00:15,875 --> 01:00:17,476 them that they are living on stolen land. Or that communism is better than capitalism. 459 01:00:24,417 --> 01:00:26,385 do they teach them that republicans are nazis? I ask everyone if inderkum teacher, gabriel, however you 460 01:00:31,357 --> 01:00:34,093 say his name? Wanted to turn his students into a communist revolutionary, scare the -- out of the make 461 01:00:40,032 --> 01:00:41,801 them feel comfortable and promote the things I've mentioned, would you want your child in the school 462 01:00:44,403 --> 01:00:48,173 environment? We want the teacher terminated? Would you want to know why he was hired? Would you want his teaching credentials removed? 463 01:00:52,177 --> 01:00:55,347 think about the students that felt tortured knowing that they could not speak out. Public k-12 education should 464 01:01:02,755 --> 01:01:04,824 focus on core reading, writing and mathematics, should be a positive learning environment. Not a radical education. 465 01:01:10,963 --> 01:01:14,232 I have the pictures of the posters that hang in the classroom which I found out are now taken down. Thank you. If the supreme court can find 466 01:01:20,339 --> 01:01:22,207 the 10 commitments unconstitutional to be posted in our public classrooms, how can this be any different? 467 01:01:26,111 --> 01:01:26,111 [applause] thank you. 468 01:01:31,384 --> 01:01:31,384 [cheering] >> okay so, casey then jennifer 469 01:01:46,031 --> 01:01:46,031 -- 470 01:02:00,580 --> 01:02:00,580 just looking out and seeing masks, it is like hiding. 471 01:02:06,785 --> 01:02:10,722 it is actually ly quite sickening. So I have three kids, one graduated from inderkum the 472 01:02:15,962 --> 01:02:15,962 other two are juniors. And other parents stated here, 473 01:02:19,999 --> 01:02:19,999 my kid that graduated loved inderkum. 474 01:02:25,071 --> 01:02:25,071 diversity, everything that we have to offer. 475 01:02:30,042 --> 01:02:30,042 pwhen I heard about this, I wasn't surprised, I wasn't 476 01:02:38,484 --> 01:02:38,484 surprised. Last year, listening and was an 477 01:02:42,488 --> 01:02:42,488 eye-opener. And my juniors ask a lot of 478 01:02:47,860 --> 01:02:47,860 questions. And we have open communication. 479 01:02:53,631 --> 01:02:53,631 which is good, not a lot of people get that from their 480 01:02:57,836 --> 01:03:01,640 kids. And that is why teachers, it is important not to be indoctrinating them. Because they look at teachers as respected adult figures. 481 01:03:07,079 --> 01:03:07,079 it is not your position, is not your position to tell your 482 01:03:11,316 --> 01:03:11,316 opinions or your thoughts. You can be caring without 483 01:03:19,458 --> 01:03:22,561 telling your opinions and your thoughts. But what really upset me was a history class that was going into current events, when it should have been world history. 484 01:03:25,597 --> 01:03:27,133 why are you teaching about communism? Teaching things our kids need to know and what is going on 485 01:03:32,605 --> 01:03:33,605 there. So I asked the question, to my kids I need to bring this up. Hey are scared they will get 486 01:03:36,976 --> 01:03:39,512 a failing grade for a parent sticking up because it's happened before. And I know this to be true because my graduated son of two years ago, had experienced 487 01:03:46,952 --> 01:03:48,120 this. It is not okay. It is not okay to do that. And keep checking, seriously, 488 01:03:51,357 --> 01:03:51,357 I'm done. [applause] 489 01:04:03,001 --> 01:04:03,001 >> I wrote this down and I don't have my glasses so I 490 01:04:12,211 --> 01:04:15,514 don't know how much this will help. My name is jennifer kelly. I'm a concerned parent. Concerned neighbor, retired police officer deputy sheriff 491 01:04:23,055 --> 01:04:25,658 coroner, firefighter, emt, flight nurse. I practice medicine as a nurse practitioner. I volunteer at casa, a court-appointed advocate for 492 01:04:29,563 --> 01:04:29,563 foster youth. And what else? 493 01:04:35,234 --> 01:04:38,303 anything else? I say this -- and I'm a mandated reporter. And when I saw this video, I 494 01:04:45,344 --> 01:04:46,846 was shocked! Especially coming from inderkum. I mean -- any high school 495 01:04:49,449 --> 01:04:49,449 anyways, but especially inderkum.the problems that I 496 01:04:58,390 --> 01:04:58,390 have is that when you send a child to school, you have the 497 01:05:05,197 --> 01:05:07,332 student handbook. There is no bullying, no ostracizing, no discrimination. There is yada yada, you have a 498 01:05:15,073 --> 01:05:17,342 person in a position of power. When you have a teacher, that ups the game. And it is great that he is 499 01:05:25,651 --> 01:05:27,453 fired, but as a mandated reporter, who filed the cps report? This needs to be done. 500 01:05:34,293 --> 01:05:36,796 cps and a complaint needs to be filed to the district attorney. To file charges. [applause] 501 01:05:39,631 --> 01:05:39,631 investigation needs to go into the other teachers. 502 01:05:44,136 --> 01:05:47,406 I am trying not to repeat what everyone else says. But because I said all of my credentials, I wanted to let 503 01:05:51,310 --> 01:05:51,310 you know that they are not just saying this because I don't 504 01:05:57,850 --> 01:05:59,518 know what they're talking about, they do know what they're talking about. The other thing is, there needs 505 01:06:02,088 --> 01:06:04,356 to be counseling for these children. It's huge! I mean, these kids are 506 01:06:08,193 --> 01:06:11,296 terrified and it is going to affect them rest of their lives. Okay, thank you for your time. 507 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,122 again for not canceling the meeting. I will make it quick. I happen to be a parent whose 508 01:06:39,358 --> 01:06:39,358 daughter was in this class. I was proud to know that she 509 01:06:49,401 --> 01:06:53,004 was taking an ap class and looking forward to college. Then I come across the video yesterday, I am still a little 510 01:06:59,478 --> 01:07:01,113 shocked. Still going to the motions. I contacted the school, I spoke with the vice principal and I 511 01:07:06,485 --> 01:07:06,485 have to say I feel his heart is in the right place. 512 01:07:14,594 --> 01:07:17,262 I said what is your opinion is that what the policy is and he says no. I said what am I going to do? 513 01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:21,100 it's a moment through what can I do is apparent. 514 01:07:33,479 --> 01:07:36,615 and I did not think he was going to say anything. And he said you are doing the right thing. If you care about it you call us, if you care about it then 515 01:07:39,185 --> 01:07:42,555 go ahead and go to the meeting. Let them know how you feel. I talked to my daughter and the guy seems very nice whatever. The first thing he said to them, to the students at the 516 01:07:47,292 --> 01:07:49,161 beginning, the same thing he said in the video. I have 180 days to turn you guys into revolutionaries. 517 01:07:55,334 --> 01:07:55,334 that is how he started the year. 518 01:07:59,438 --> 01:07:59,438 okay? They asked him, what's going 519 01:08:04,242 --> 01:08:07,046 on? He said I cannot tell you anymore. Don't know you guys yet. From the very beginning he planted the seed. 520 01:08:13,152 --> 01:08:15,955 he's in a position of power! Part of me feels bad for the guy. You know? He went to --, he's a local guy. 521 01:08:19,525 --> 01:08:22,094 you guys have to educate, not indoctrinate. Part of me feels hopeless almost. 522 01:08:28,534 --> 01:08:28,534 that you know, he is right. We keep moving to the left, 523 01:08:33,573 --> 01:08:33,573 left, left. They are now putting posters, I 524 01:08:40,079 --> 01:08:42,014 could just go on and on. But I do not want to vent. Thank you guys for taking action. 525 01:08:46,919 --> 01:08:50,790 I hope that you guys are doing it because it is the right pthing. And not because you are being 526 01:08:51,624 --> 01:08:51,624 forced to do it. Once again -- [inaudible] 527 01:09:03,235 --> 01:09:04,370 I don't want to know your political ideology, I don't care. I do want a radical left or 528 01:09:10,442 --> 01:09:12,578 radical right in the classroom. I can't believe we got to the point where teachers actually are bold enough, a marxist and 529 01:09:15,348 --> 01:09:15,348 antifa terrorists -- >> thank you. 530 01:09:31,830 --> 01:09:35,301 this is my son, he graduated this year. Okay. [applause] 531 01:09:39,138 --> 01:09:39,138 he went through hell last year and you put all of us on the 532 01:09:44,777 --> 01:09:47,246 front line last year. We got to see everything that was going on. We had the men in blue here to 533 01:09:52,951 --> 01:09:52,951 protect you guys, they should be knocking on that door, 534 01:10:03,329 --> 01:10:06,065 resting that man. I have nothing but respect for these men in blue as much as all of these people do. If it weren't for these people he would probably be dead 535 01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:12,137 because people like this lifted him up. Do you guys know how much teenage suicide happened last year? That is what we should really 536 01:10:13,272 --> 01:10:13,272 be talking about. That is on you guys. 537 01:10:18,143 --> 01:10:21,880 all of it! Pi want to ask for your resignation. You guys don't deserve this job. 538 01:10:23,381 --> 01:10:23,381 there are many people in this room that can do your job a 539 01:10:28,420 --> 01:10:28,420 thousand times better. I promise you, I am one of 540 01:10:32,792 --> 01:10:32,792 them. Because I care about children. 541 01:10:43,535 --> 01:10:47,172 I don't think you do or you would let this happen. This is ridiculous. I got the video this morning and I will tell you I'm not shocked! 542 01:10:48,674 --> 01:10:51,410 why? Because there's another teacher right down the road who did the same thing to my son. And to many others! And you people know who it is, 543 01:10:54,414 --> 01:10:57,783 I won't even mention the name. Thank god for these people because I will go talk to them and they will do another video. 544 01:11:01,053 --> 01:11:04,290 because you will see another video as soon as they get to talk to me. I promise you that. 545 01:11:07,126 --> 01:11:07,126 you already know his name. I don't even got to mention it. 546 01:11:13,632 --> 01:11:16,335 I'm appalled amanda still teaching at my daughter's school. I cannot believe it. My daughter is taking ap world history, she is so 547 01:11:24,876 --> 01:11:28,146 uncomfortable taking the class. Do you know why she is taking the class? Because I wouldn't let her be in this other persons class. That is on you. 548 01:11:30,816 --> 01:11:30,816 p 549 01:11:49,735 --> 01:11:52,171 my name is christine -- candidate for congress. In this area. 550 01:11:56,976 --> 01:11:56,976 I am here to speak on behalf of the number of teachers that 551 01:12:01,947 --> 01:12:04,783 contacted my campaign, because they are afraid. They are afraid to speak out, but you will not defend them 552 01:12:11,958 --> 01:12:14,160 against the teachers union. That will have them railroaded out of their jobs, out of their careers, which will ultimately 553 01:12:18,464 --> 01:12:20,966 railroad them out of their homes. The majority of teachers I believe are good. 554 01:12:30,276 --> 01:12:30,276 they have a passion, went through everything it took to 555 01:12:35,114 --> 01:12:38,818 get through school. To get the teaching credential. And want to be in a beautiful school district. This should be a flagship for sacramento. 556 01:12:41,053 --> 01:12:44,423 one of our most technologically advanced high schools. And we have students afraid to go here. 557 01:12:47,892 --> 01:12:47,892 I know of one board member here, who has consistently 558 01:12:55,935 --> 01:12:57,402 fought for the students and for the teachers. The teachers that are afraid to stand here and say this. 559 01:13:07,279 --> 01:13:11,116 I would appreciate it if you did not play with your phone while I was speaking. We need to look at me, I am paying you the courtesy of standing here speaking to you. 560 01:13:13,752 --> 01:13:16,622 so looking away, now we know what happened. We know what happened when the children came to the school board, to the principal, to the counselors and begged for help 561 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,196 because they were being tortured and indoctrinated by a teacher. Because you turned your head away, he decided to play with your phone. 562 01:13:27,767 --> 01:13:30,069 you're going to see plenty of your face on social media when these people leave here. There may be lawsuits. 563 01:13:36,309 --> 01:13:36,309 but what I can tell you is, I've had multiple teachers tell 564 01:13:46,619 --> 01:13:48,253 me, they have complained, they have had students complain, they had parents complain. We need a full and thorough 565 01:13:54,059 --> 01:13:57,730 criminal investigation. From the bottom up, from the janitors although after the superintendent. To find out who was ignored. And to the one person I know on 566 01:14:03,736 --> 01:14:03,736 this board that is consistently fought for the rights of the 567 01:14:08,707 --> 01:14:08,707 students and to take care of the teachers here, thank you. 568 01:14:44,576 --> 01:14:44,576 >> the microphone was not on, I'm sorry. 569 01:15:15,274 --> 01:15:15,274 to thank every parent here right now. 570 01:15:23,315 --> 01:15:26,685 [applause] the second thing is, the reason why my daughter is standing behind me, is because my job as 571 01:15:31,824 --> 01:15:31,824 her parent, is to protect her. From anybody that has ill will 572 01:15:35,961 --> 01:15:35,961 towards her. So being that this is her first 573 01:15:41,300 --> 01:15:41,300 year at this high school, that is world renowned and everybody 574 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,775 knows about this school, is so perfect and everybody does everything right. The first time my daughter 575 01:15:51,944 --> 01:15:54,547 tells me that show goes against my wishes, to come out of the classroom that is disruptive to her well-being, I have an 576 01:15:58,350 --> 01:15:58,350 issue! I am very articulate. 577 01:16:03,422 --> 01:16:03,422 my children are very well read. They speak your opinion, to 578 01:16:10,896 --> 01:16:10,896 make sure that they are clear in what they do and do not 579 01:16:15,368 --> 01:16:18,304 like. And for the fact that my 17-year-old daughter had to come to me and said mom, you don't understand. Let me explain. 580 01:16:22,041 --> 01:16:22,041 this means that in two weeks, in 13 days, he was allowed to 581 01:16:29,315 --> 01:16:31,850 change my daughter's mind about some fascist crap that y'all have in this school! 582 01:16:38,690 --> 01:16:38,690 I'm tired, this is ridiculous! I am from texas. 583 01:16:44,763 --> 01:16:48,200 [cheering] this don't go on in texas. This does not go on in texas. They are two great higher than 584 01:16:52,204 --> 01:16:52,204 california period! So to think that my very sound 585 01:16:58,410 --> 01:16:59,545 minded daughter would go against me and my wishes and our values and our home, to be able to go and support this ma 586 01:17:07,386 --> 01:17:08,420 and he is putting her in harm's way. What the hell are y'all doing ? I'm tired! 587 01:17:13,759 --> 01:17:13,759 how long does it have to go on before somebody says something? 588 01:17:20,432 --> 01:17:21,467 how long? How long? What are you going to do? That is the question. 589 01:17:25,437 --> 01:17:27,006 get him out of here! We don't care about this boy. He's got to go! 590 01:17:42,588 --> 01:17:42,588 >> good evening my name is maria, two years ago my 591 01:17:48,527 --> 01:17:50,662 youngest child graduated from inderkum high school. I can tell you that there's a culture of toxicity at the 592 01:17:52,632 --> 01:17:52,632 school. And we tried to address it 593 01:17:59,772 --> 01:18:01,040 during his attendance there. When he was a sophomore his first year there, he took an english class and there was 594 01:18:06,545 --> 01:18:06,545 subtle indoctrination in the curricular pit is not just in 595 01:18:11,317 --> 01:18:11,317 the classes that is occurring pit is in english classes, art 596 01:18:15,455 --> 01:18:15,455 classes, we tried to address it through the proper chain of 597 01:18:20,593 --> 01:18:23,696 command. Only to be told it would be taken care of and here I am tonight and he's graduated. I was born in venezuela.

This will be one of the best books you've ever read. And I fell in love with this book. 629 01:23:24,301 --> 01:23:26,703 I really fell in love with this book and never look at what's going on, it is the same similarities. 630 01:23:30,841 --> 01:23:30,841 it's what's going on in this country. 631 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,750 and it is the nazi. That's what it is, it is nazi. You have to go back to the history books and read. 632 01:23:41,318 --> 01:23:41,318 you have to teach, just teach regular class. 633 01:23:46,357 --> 01:23:46,357 leave the politics out. Because I'm telling you, 634 01:23:52,663 --> 01:23:56,200 communists is on its way if you, is this guy fired yet? Is he fired? [inaudible] 635 01:24:05,943 --> 01:24:07,912 just fire him! Fire him, finally the teachers put them on paid leave and have an investigation. 636 01:24:10,815 --> 01:24:10,815 just do that! Who cares about the politics! 637 01:24:16,554 --> 01:24:20,357 it's the kids that count. I was worried about the kids and I went through my situation. I was really really worried about the kids! 638 01:24:22,259 --> 01:24:24,595 and he threw me under the bus and threw me out like trash. Meanwhile the guy was driving my route! 639 01:24:29,867 --> 01:24:32,470 he was a sick bass stirred. And he gets a raise and is director of transportation. >> thank you. 640 01:24:50,688 --> 01:24:53,891 mind if I just need to gobble in and call the meeting back to order. We failed to do that so I will call the meeting back to order at it was 7:20 pm. 641 01:24:58,729 --> 01:25:01,798 please go ahead, thank you. >> good evening everyone. I don't have any kids at inderkum anymore but they did 642 01:25:07,404 --> 01:25:10,641 attend a couple of years ago and last year. When I'm concerned about is the fact that we've taken god out 643 01:25:13,444 --> 01:25:16,514 of the classroom, but we are letting in this type of people which is socialism. Why is it that it is so hard to 644 01:25:19,483 --> 01:25:19,483 let god back in and have a balance? 645 01:25:31,763 --> 01:25:35,066 these kids are being taught marxism and socialism, if you guys have noticed, they are more depressive, they don't have accountability, there always playing the victim. 646 01:25:37,901 --> 01:25:40,338 we need teachers that really care for our kids. Not because of their agenda. These kids nowadays, with 647 01:25:47,244 --> 01:25:50,848 covid, with the lockdown, they don't need socialism, what they need is accountability and exactly from what I saw on the 648 01:25:56,387 --> 01:25:56,387 article, that he is saying, I'm going to scare the f out of 649 01:26:04,795 --> 01:26:08,666 them and now he's talking about, he scared of his life because veritas put him out there. 650 01:26:09,666 --> 01:26:12,170 what kind of example is that to our children? And he is teaching our kids high school kids, our future 651 01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:21,045 leaders. This guy, and who ever is associated with him, needs to be out of that environment 652 01:26:23,448 --> 01:26:27,417 where our kids are. I'm going to have grandchildren, and I don't want my grandchildren to be exposed 653 01:26:33,623 --> 01:26:34,525 to this. Unfortunately, all parents here do not have the capability to homeschool or take them to 654 01:26:39,930 --> 01:26:43,133 private school. We are depending on you guys. To give that kind of environment for our kids. 655 01:26:44,601 --> 01:26:44,601 keep them safe. Do not send them to a 656 01:26:52,710 --> 01:26:54,946 depressive, a blackhole state. Because that is what's happening to our kids now. Look at them, talk to them, ask 657 01:27:02,186 --> 01:27:05,489 them. Because right now these kids can't even speak up for themselves in the class are because they're afraid they will get a f. 658 01:27:06,924 --> 01:27:06,924 applause] >> good evening all. 659 01:27:17,935 --> 01:27:17,935 I have four school-aged children and we see this as 660 01:27:26,210 --> 01:27:27,511 parents, but there's nothing we can say or do is like our hands are tied, you all ignore it and act like it's not happening. 661 01:27:34,585 --> 01:27:37,555 the one time you guys get caught I mean what are you going to do? Just act like you did not know? Come on. You guys know what's going on. 662 01:27:38,723 --> 01:27:38,723 I'd like to give a, I like to give a special shout out to 663 01:27:43,627 --> 01:27:43,627 gabe, thank you for telling on all your buddies. 664 01:28:02,179 --> 01:28:03,413 as a former teacher, I know that we are not allowed to share our political views and the students should not know 665 01:28:14,058 --> 01:28:17,595 what we believe no matter what we are teaching. We are to teach the content and teach it professionally. Bviously gabriel did not do that and referred lots of 666 01:28:19,229 --> 01:28:21,331 complaints about that tonight. But my concern is with the facebook page it says natomas unified board, we have an admin 667 01:28:28,973 --> 01:28:30,775 for the facebook page, today when a parent asked to see the video, I posted the video from project veritas, the facebook 668 01:28:38,148 --> 01:28:39,850 link. And her response was, this is inappropriate for this forum, and will be deleted. 669 01:28:56,567 --> 01:28:56,567 [booing] she said that it is 670 01:29:02,073 --> 01:29:05,109 inappropriate and feel free to google it on your own. Why are we censoring this? It's inappropriate what the 671 01:29:07,378 --> 01:29:10,781 teacher did. Your censoring the parents from know what happened and you have no problem with that but you 672 01:29:17,454 --> 01:29:19,523 did not censor the teacher. So he had it blatantly on his walls. Why are you censoring parents? 673 01:29:27,365 --> 01:29:30,368 and not the teacher. Why is what we want to see inappropriate? His own words, wire his own words inappropriate? Because he has been caught. 674 01:29:32,336 --> 01:29:34,005 but what he's doing is not appropriate. >> you should be ashamed. >> way to call her out! 675 01:29:48,452 --> 01:29:50,588 education impact.us. We are a california coalition of 18 organizations, have conferences, workshops and town 676 01:29:54,425 --> 01:29:54,425 halls to protect kids. Parents are already freaked out 677 01:29:58,963 --> 01:29:58,963 over the age inappropriate sex ed and critical race theory. 678 01:30:04,569 --> 01:30:04,569 and now they find out that the kids are being indoctrinated 679 01:30:08,572 --> 01:30:08,572 and recruited by an antifa teacher, and in fact there is a 680 01:30:13,210 --> 01:30:13,210 whole group of them here. I would like to draw the boards 681 01:30:21,819 --> 01:30:21,819 attention to the california education code article 4, 682 01:30:30,861 --> 01:30:32,696 number 5130 no teacher giving instruction in any school or on any property belonging to any agencies including the public 683 01:30:39,270 --> 01:30:41,672 school system, shall advocate or teach communism with the intent to indoctrinate or to inculcate in the mind of any 684 01:30:49,414 --> 01:30:52,684 people, preference for communism. I believe you guys took an oath to uphold that. 685 01:30:55,286 --> 01:30:55,286 I ask you to consider, the kids, the parents, the 686 01:31:02,693 --> 01:31:05,496 california ed code and your legacy. Your personal legacy. Because the entire nation is 687 01:31:10,668 --> 01:31:10,668 watching. As of last month, 54 school 688 01:31:18,675 --> 01:31:18,675 districts and 135 school board members, were targeted for 689 01:31:23,681 --> 01:31:25,449 recall. Parents are not putting up with this anymore. I urge you to dismiss the 690 01:31:29,887 --> 01:31:33,424 teacher, and any other antifa affiliated teachers in your school district.hank you. 691 01:31:49,440 --> 01:31:52,943 >> hello everyone I am bobby, I'm a sophomore here at inderkum. I go to school here, I'm under 692 01:31:54,445 --> 01:31:54,445 all of your instruction. I was called last year when I 693 01:32:00,351 --> 01:32:02,986 started freshman year under the lockdown, politically illiterate and all of my beliefs politically illiterate 694 01:32:09,926 --> 01:32:13,530 under gabriel gipe. Teacher I didn't have I didn't even know the guy was called politically illiterate for comparing his system and the entire system of the lockdown 695 01:32:15,032 --> 01:32:15,032 and all of that to socialism. Politically illiterate. 696 01:32:19,704 --> 01:32:19,704 I have to say, I had a teacher before all of this, eighth 697 01:32:25,810 --> 01:32:28,079 grade right before the lockdown happened. Mr. Fernandez. He escaped communist cuba, 698 01:32:30,348 --> 01:32:30,348 moved to russia and then that went communist. 699 01:32:37,021 --> 01:32:39,423 and it went to the soviet state. Socialism takes your healthcare first. They own your body. Second, they take your 700 01:32:44,595 --> 01:32:48,365 education. They own your mind. This needs change! This needs change now! I don't know what else to say 701 01:32:52,403 --> 01:32:52,403 but you will need to rethink all of this. 702 01:32:57,107 --> 01:33:00,143 and it needs change. I was in a class, I'm jewish, I was in a class and there was a free palestine sign. 703 01:33:02,847 --> 01:33:02,847 next to a planned parenthood sign, flags of the lgbtq and 704 01:33:10,254 --> 01:33:11,689 women's rights. Do not see the irony, the contradiction being taught? There telling us we must 705 01:33:15,793 --> 01:33:18,863 identify with history personally. I need to personally identify with hitler to know what he did wrong? No! 706 01:33:20,231 --> 01:33:20,231 thank you. 707 01:33:24,302 --> 01:33:24,302 thank you. >>. 708 01:33:40,517 --> 01:33:40,517 >> that was my son. 709 01:33:47,458 --> 01:33:47,458 my name is deborah. He is in 10th grade. 710 01:33:52,830 --> 01:33:52,830 the beginning of the year started, with history teacher. 711 01:34:00,505 --> 01:34:00,505 how incredible! In this class, that he just 712 01:34:06,977 --> 01:34:06,977 spoke of, he went to voice his discomfort. 713 01:34:13,350 --> 01:34:13,350 because it is just something that you know, yes, there are 714 01:34:19,489 --> 01:34:20,791 times whether you agree with it or don't agree with that, but for these children, to have to see these images for an hour, 715 01:34:25,196 --> 01:34:25,196 and try to absorb them, without any explanation of what they 716 01:34:35,217 --> 01:34:37,019 to them, to anything! And they don't, they are just inundated with images without 717 01:34:44,026 --> 01:34:45,260 explanation. Go along to get along. He won't do that and I won't do that. 718 01:34:50,332 --> 01:34:52,668 I do have a question in regards to curriculum. Last year was very difficult. I know the previous year I was 719 01:34:58,174 --> 01:34:58,174 so excited, the school district bought new curriculum books. 720 01:35:03,345 --> 01:35:06,215 we got to go and pick and browse and see which ones and we voted on them. Last year he got all of his 721 01:35:10,319 --> 01:35:10,319 work looks, brought them home, not one teacher used those 722 01:35:20,329 --> 01:35:23,899 books. They had their own curriculum. Where is that from? Is it approved by you? Do you know each of the classes are teaching? 723 01:35:26,669 --> 01:35:28,037 you don't. Because in his history class this year that he had for a week, they took identity tests. 724 01:35:34,444 --> 01:35:37,680 they took personality quizzes, a 14-year-old taking a personality quiz in history class. 725 01:35:41,950 --> 01:35:44,087 for what? Exactly how does it relate to history? Is the question. 726 01:35:50,226 --> 01:35:52,427 and that was his question. My husband who is a psychology data analytics person, said, you will not do this homework. 727 01:35:58,167 --> 01:35:59,935 we sent an email to the teacher saying, this is inappropriate. Give him a history assignment. She did, somewhat. 728 01:36:05,474 --> 01:36:05,474 then the next day, same thing. But this time, he emailed his 729 01:36:14,016 --> 01:36:17,019 counselor saying, I think I need to be moved from the class. He was called by the teacher and she said, I think you need to be moved out of this class. 730 01:36:23,860 --> 01:36:24,894 so, I don't think that is fair for him. He didn't do anything wrong, she did. 731 01:36:29,899 --> 01:36:31,901 and she was uncomfortable I think with the fact and the fact that we were pushing back. Time? 732 01:36:36,906 --> 01:36:36,906 it's time? Okay so I have just one more 733 01:36:50,687 --> 01:36:54,156 minute. Why even today, they have yet to crack the books. Why did we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on curriculum, when they are not 734 01:36:55,290 --> 01:36:59,094 using it? That is my question I want to know. And if you know what the curriculum is. Because it is all worksheets. And not books. Including math. 735 01:37:15,278 --> 01:37:15,278 >> madam chair, I would like to motion for another recess. 736 01:37:22,484 --> 01:37:22,484 >> motion. [inaudible] 737 01:37:32,362 --> 01:37:32,362 >> roll call, without objection. 738 01:37:57,021 --> 01:37:59,857 >> I'm going to make an announcement right now for everyone. Members?
