No, I didn't. I posted for the district. There have been at least two links provided here that show it's majority Latino. Below is a third. Meanwhile, your link does not show anything to support your point. Here's one more summary link that is clearly across the district because it literally counts all the schools:

Also, I live near this district. I can assure you it is majority Latino. STOP LYING.

Again, why are you insisting the board members are “racist educators” when they are not educators? Defend that claim, beyond repeating that one woman was a teacher. They are not educators, and the man who made the statement was the same race as the people you insist the district serves (and is not a teacher).

We are talking about the ones who resigned. There are no 11, that's something you made up. Look, below is the page from the actual district showing board positions:

https://www.ouesd.k12.ca.us/board-of-trustees

There are no names, because they have all resigned. There are no 11 men (wtf). There are ONLY the five positions listed on the actual board website above, which a few days ago had the names of the board members, but those were removed from the district page one by one as they resigned.

Why are you such a lying liar who lies? Are you a racist white teacher hell-bent on gaslighting minority students? Because it sure sounds like it. If you continue overtly lying, I will send Jeff all these supporting links and ask him to delete your falsehoods.

So you admit you lied, and you are totally wrong about the demographics?

The board president described herself as a ten-year teacher in the district when she ran, which I'd consider an educator:

I can give you receipts all day, you liar.

Look at the gaslighting white teacher PP above who just made crap up wholesale to avoid the truth, then ask yourself why POC might not want to serve on BOE with people like her.

She keeps repeating there is one woman who is a teacher. We already know that. There is also one man of color. Why can’t she explain why she has erroneously decided thus is a group of white educators? It is no more a group of educators than a group of Latino men, proportionally. I’m not arguing about the demographics. Every site has a different number, so it’s a waste of time.

The gaslighting from you continues. You've been proven wrong again and again, yet are doubling down.

Are you trying to be an object lesson in racist white teachers who don't listen?

Most of this is fine, but I doubt that POC regularly cite DCUM and other anonymous boards as a reason not to go into teaching.

Not strictly the boards but the overall respect that teachers get from society in general, as mirrored on boards and other social media. See the 'Not worth it' comment above as a perfect example: the education of our next generation isn't worth better recruiting and pay.

I had tremendous respect for teachers and behaved accordingly until they cancelled school for a year and left me to teach my first grader while working a demanding full time job. Nothing but contempt now

That's not true in every district. In the district in which I teach, the head of the union is close to being a COVID denier. The superintendent and BOE made the decision to be closed.

Okay, so you can’t defend the position because you have no evidence. Got it. The woman who you all hate is not just a white teacher, but also a white mother of a special needs child. I guess all white parents are racists now, if we apply the same logic.
