[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The BOE was not comprised of teachers, FYI. There was a single member who was listed as a “technology educator” and former teacher who probably runs the computer lab. And there was a Latino man on the board (he was the one who said parents want to stay home and smoke pot all day without their kids). This board erroneously declared that the board was full of racist teachers. The district they work in is predominantly white. You can be angry about what they said without twisting the story to fit a false narrative about white teachers hating their communities. [/quote]

Wow, this is demonstrably false and some deranged thinking. Oakley Union School District is predominantly Latino according to the state of CA:

The board members were primarily white with one Latino man. The board president who resigned, Lisa Brizendine, was a teacher in Oakley United for 11 years. That's all public record.[/quote]
Again, that is one person out of 11-the same number of Latino men and teachers. How is one teacher a significant number and one man of color not? Stop pretending these people are “racist educators” - they are community members. Oakley union school district is 43% “white” and 34% “Hispanic”, so yes, the majority are white. These are facts.
