When it comes to local government, many people are surprised to learn that most seats are non-partisan. This means that candidates for positions like city council, school board, or mayor don’t officially run under a specific political party.

In Part 1, I responded to the false claims that TVUSD and CA curriculum guidelines contain inappropriate content for our kids. Based on my my experience as the father of four kids in TVUSD schools what is actually covered in the “controversial” guidelines is:

• Age appropriate (nothing prior to 5th grade) sexual health education with parents access to all content and parents rights to opt their kids out if they choose.

• Creating safe learning environments for all students

• Learning about historically marginalized people

There have been accusations that the public schools teach inappropriate, sexualized, and pornographic material to kids as young as kindergarten. These claims are false. Those making these accusations claim teachers are indoctrinating and grooming children for nefarious purposes, and doing so secretly without parents knowledge or permission. Again, these claims are false. As of April 2024, this has culminated with the recall election of the board president, Dr. Joseph Komrosky, set for June 4.
