I applaud Commissioner Walden (@waldenpatriot) and America First Legal (@America1stLegal) for their unwavering commitment to the principle that parents remain in charge of raising their children, not the government.
My conviction that MPS has been violating parental rights with this secret gender transition policy has been unwavering. And it’s not just parents rights that have been violated, but the rights of children to the care and loving guidance of their parents. MPS policy to conceal

A mentor, a friend and a confidant. Not sure I would have been Governor without his counsel and encouragement. Senator Jon Kyl is a giant set forth in the tradition of Arizona’s own Barry Goldwater. All my deepest love and prayers to him and the entire Kyl family.

Fantastic article and a great perspective. We need a culture change for our *governing* boards. I’m glad we have leaders like @ALegalProcess, Supt. @ShelliBoggs @mcschoolsup, and the @TheAZCoalition who are working to fix this mess.
📢Higley School Board Member Anna Van Hoek op-ed calls out institutional culture of elected officials’ blind deference to administrators. She’s right - as @MatthewGress says, AZ school boards are fed a “fairly tale” that boards are mere rubber stamps. Result: no reform possible.

Problems at our Land Department! Millions in uncashed lease checks, shortchanging our schools. Over 270K acres within 10 miles of Arizona cities that could be used for housing developments, yet they remain unused. What a shame. We need a governor who can think BIG!

Today, we honor the heroes of Pearl Harbor. On this day of remembrance, we pause to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who served and gave their lives on December 7, 1941. Their bravery reminds us that freedom is never free, it’s safeguarded by the dedication of those

With 24 hr notice & no public comment, @TollesonUhsd Sup’t Calles is choosing secrecy over transparency. Bypassing parents, shutting out the community & rushing a major decision w/o the input of the people paying the bill. He knows we're on to his schemes. Time to resign.

Absolutely!!! This should be as EASY as possible.
Public schools have a fantastic opportunity to lease and sell empty buildings to community organizations and new school options and private schools looking for facilities. A district that respects the community and taxpayers doesn’t hold to empty stuff at their expense. ❤️
