Pushback: School board forced to restore contract it tried to cancel because it hates Christians

Quote
... When the school board for the Washington Elementary School District School in the Phoenix area unilaterally canceled a legal contract with Arizona Christian University in March, the university sued [pdf], claiming that the cancellation was solely for religious reasons and was discriminatory and a clear violation of its contract.

The school board has now settled that lawsuit, agreeing to restore the contract while also accepting liability for all legal costs in connection with the suit.

It is important to understand the exact reasons the board voted unanimously to cancel the contract. Under that agreement, which had existed for more than a decade, students from Arizona Christian University would act as free teaching assistants for the district’s elementary schools while getting real world experience in teaching. Their work was determined by the school, and during that time there was never a complaint about them attempting to indoctrinate children into Christianity ... .

When the board canceled the contract, it did so by declaring unequivocally the university’s religious affiliation was the problem, not because it had failed in any of its contract obligations. More specifically, at least two members of the school board — proud members of the queer community — expressed strong intolerance with the university’s Christian beliefs, and wanted the contract cancelled for this sole reason. As board member Tamillia Valenzuela said at the February board meeting where the cancellation vote was taken:

My emphasis. The article is less than clear about the intent of cancelling this contract. For the students from Arizona Christian University being a teaching assistant was a requirement to get a teaching credential in AZ. IOW, the bigots were trying to obstruct those students' efforts to become credentialed teachers.

If the capability is there, petition the board to recall.

They likely just cost the district a grundle because of their personal spiritual/political attitudes.

Concur that the board members who exploited the district for their personal bigotry need to be made personally liable and recalled, if possible. @Cyber Liberty ?

The parents in that district are madder than Hell.  Recall is up to them. It looks likely. Especially that fat chick who insists she's a cat.

She is a cat-of-substance.

The university had had this contract with the district for quite a few years. Thus, the university's students had a track record with the district that had zero issues. Cat-of-substance's supposed fears were between her ears, not in the real world. She needs to experience consequences for using school resources to exert her bigotry.

It was done because a majority of the board is anti-Christian, plain and simple.

The cat person, Valenzuela was the lone no vote against settling the lawsuit.

This reject from the mental institution should be recalled.

Hopefully the lawfirm that represented Arizona Christian University gives every teacher's aid from the university their business card. Further, if AZ is a one-party state wrt recording conversations, the students should be advised to record every second they are on campus and every phone contact with someone from the school or district. The district's educrats and teachers cannot be trusted not to try to retaliate. That is what Progs do when they lose a battle.

Any pushback from the states is welcome news.

I believe Arizona is a one-party-consent state:  https://www.territoriallaw.com/one-party-consent-arizonas-wiretapping-law

You won't see that happening. 

The GOP doesn't seem to give  rat's rear about schools.

They don't care about Election Integrity, either.

I would like to point out that recalling school board folks is reactionary.

It is certainly needed.

But why the ef do we have these clowns in there in the first place ?

School boards are always ceded to the left.

I have never understood why.
