Statement to Torrance USD School Board

Finally, the masks have come off … the students. But the
sinister plot that allowed this systemic child abuse to continue unabated has
not been dealt with properly. Until the Torrance School Board issues a firm
resolution to disregard these outrageous mandates in the future, and passes a
“mask and vaccine choice” regime, the students and parents in this district
will have no assurance that their children’s health will remain safe and free
from unwanted mandates.

I have received more calls and complaints from parents in
the district, this time from Hull Middle School. Mrs. Shawnda Leander is
pushing her own version of Critical Racist Theory, saying hateful things like
“mostly all white people are bad, except for me of course” and “All black
people are good.” Such broad statements are true testimonies to systemic racism
in our schools. It’s not in our kids, it’s not in people’s skin color. Frankly,
where do these teachers get these terrible ideas from in the first place? That
needs to be investigated.

While many parents have been rightfully outraged with the
unconscionable health mandates imposed on their children, they are now shifting
their focus back to the divisive and inaccurate curriculum and viewpoint
discrimination taking place in Torrance classrooms. I have already shared with
this board about teachers promoting hate groups like Black Lives Matter and the
Human Rights Campaign, dedicated to normalizing political violence and sexual
perversion on impressionable minds trapped in classrooms as a captive audience.
When will these practices cease? Schools should be safe spaces, yes, for ALL
students, not just a select group or one viewpoint.

To this day, I have not year hear from Director Ben Egan or
Superintendent Stowe regarding the new policies that will ensure that schools,
staff, and district personnel will no longer misuse school and school district
labels and logos to push a personal or political agenda, and especially at the
expense or in spite of the concern or disagreement of students or parents. When
will this policy be made public, Dr. Egan and Dr. Stowe?

Trustee Gerson contacted me after the previous meeting
regarding the current relationship between the California and the National
School Boards Associations. I understand that the voting member from the NSBA
has had their voting status stripped. That move is not enough. There is no
rectifying the fact that NSBA issued a letter to Joe Biden urging him to direct
the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute parents who were merely
exercising their First Amendment rights in school board meeetings across the
country. The NSBA referred to righteously outraged parents as “domestic
terrorists” simply because they wanted to protect their children from Critical
Racist Theory and LGBT indoctrination in the classroom, along with the
unhealthy health mandates.

There is no excuse for any organization defaming parents as
“domestic terrorists” for doing their jobs to protect their children. I am
urging this board, this board’s CSBA representative to press for the California
School Board Association’s complete disaffiliation with the NSBA. This is not a
partisan matter, since red and blue states have disaffiliated from that
terrible organization. MassResistance assisted parents with pressuring three state
school boards associations from leaving the NSBA this year already.

Last of all, I hope that all parents in Torrance Unified, as
well as across the state of California, understand that the fight is not over
when it comes to ensure that their local school boards remain accountable to
them. Ending the mask mandates was one step, but now more than ever it’s time
for curricular and personnel oversight like never before.
