I'm a Teacher & Union activist. I believe in being a good teacher, my right to organize, and the need for public education. Segregation is not the answer.

Tonight I went to a school board meeting to stand up for LGBTQ+ students who invited me to join them as they spoke out against a radical new policy that threatens their safety. When done speaking,the board president verbally attacked me an instructed the police to remove me.(1/5)
Jonathan Zachreson Tony Thurmond Except the board chair shouldn't get to debate people in the audience. It is bad form and arguably a violation of the Brown Act.
Jonathan Zachreson Tony Thurmond Heās the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and pardon me if I think he should have had more than a minute because of his position. But you all go ahead and do your hateful selves. You are NOT winning.
Jonathan Zachreson Tony Thurmond He went back to the mic after Shaw broke Brown Act by initiating insulting commentary directed at a public commenter. She then recessed for security to remove him. We all watched it, buddy. Video technology is amazing.
Jonathan Zachreson Tony Thurmond Oh look, a blue check paying a billionaire has crappy opinions. What a shocker. Mr. Thurmond is a state official, not any parent, show him some respect. If he were a Republican, spewing hate for LGBTQ students, he probably wouldāve gotten the whole time to talk.
šØāš«š EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT OUT ON THE PICKET LINE š©āš«š Our siblings at Writers Guild of America West and SAG-AFTRA are out on strike to demand fair wages, respect in the workplace and the ability to build a life-long career.
