I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE ALL HERE FOR THE SAFETY WELL BEING AND EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS. I SPOKE TO AN EDUCATOR AND THEY SHARED SOMETHING VERY PROFOUND. 
          LOVE OF YOUR COUNTRY IS WHOLEHEARTED. IT WOULD ONLY BE DAMAGING TO OVERSHADOW AMERICAN SACRIFICE, TRIUMPH AND PERSEVERANCE. THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION IN WASHINGTON, D. C OPPOSED THE BAN AND THE COLLEGE BOARD WILL REMOVE AP CURRICULUM. THE GRAVITY OF THIS BAN WILL HURT GRADE POINT AVERAGES AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE HEALTHY AND SAFE. 
          AND I'M SCARED TOO. I'M SCARED OF A DOMINO EFFECT OF CENSORSHIP OF MY PEOPLE'S HISTORICAL STRUGGLES TO BE ERASED. I'M SCARED THAT I WON'T BE SAFE ON CAMPUS WITH THE BAND. AND I'M A PERSON BEFORE I AM A STUDENT, AND I'M CALLING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR YOU TO ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR EDUCATION. ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN ABOUT OUR COUNTRY? AND MOST OF ALL FOR OUR HUMANITY? THANK YOU. CURTIS. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CALL 
          [00:05:06]
ATTENTION TO ONE THING. I'M SURE LOTS OF THINGS ARE GOING TO BE DISCUSSED HERE TODAY AS TO WHY THIS BAND SHOULD NOT GO THROUGH. BUT IN PARTICULAR, THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION LETTER ASKS AN INTERESTING QUESTION. WHY SINGLE OUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY? AND THE ANSWER, OF COURSE, IS THAT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO THE BAND HERE DOES NOT TRY TO SINGLE OUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IT TRIES TO USE CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS AN UMBRELLA. UNDER WHICH TO BRING A GROUP OF PEOPLE TOGETHER WHO NEED TO BE POLITICALLY ACTIVATED FOR OTHER REASONS. YEAH THERE'S NOTHING IN THE RESOLUTION THAT SAYS THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE JUST LISTED THE SIX CHARACTERISTICS AND SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO BAN THOSE. BUT INSTEAD WE'RE CALLING A CRITICAL RACE THEORY BECAUSE CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS THE HOT BUTTON POLITICAL ISSUE, AND I URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE STUDENTS WHO ARE HERE TODAY. WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE ACTUAL DAMAGE THAT THIS RACIST BAN WOULD CAUSE. BECAUSE HIDING IT BEHIND THE TERM CRT. MAKES IT SEEM MORE INNOCUOUS THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. THANKS. MICHELLE. AND AGAIN, WOULD YOU MIND? UM RESTATING YOUR NAME RIGHT BEFORE YOU START OR WHEN YOU START MY NAME IS MICHELLE ALMEIDA AND AS A PARENT AND A FORM OF SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER I OPPOSE THE CRT BAN. THIS BAN WOULD VIOLATE THE EDUCATIONAL FREEDOM. OF THE STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LEARN ABOUT ALL PARTS OF THIS NATION'S HISTORY. 
          GOOD AND BAD. HOW CAN WE LOOK AT ISSUES OF RACE AND LITERATURE AND HISTORY WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE SYSTEMIC NATURE OF RACISM? SLAVERY THE 3/5 COMPROMISE REDLINING. ALL VALUABLE PARTS OF THE CURRICULUM BUT CANNOT JUST BE PRESENTED AS PAST EVENTS. STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLORE THE ROLE OF SYSTEMIC RACISM IN THOSE EVENTS SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR LEGACY. AND DO BETTER AS A NATION. STUDENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE CHALLENGED AND ENGAGED IN MEANINGFUL INQUIRY. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO PURSUE AP COURSES WHICH COULD BE THREATENED BY THE SPAN SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO. IF YOU VALUE EMPOWERING STUDENTS, THEN THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THIS BAN. IF YOU VALUE FREE SPEECH AND EDUCATION IN THIS DISTRICT, THEN THERE IS NO PLACE FOR CENSORSHIP. I OPPOSE THIS BAND. THANK YOU. GRADY IS GOING TO BE NEXT AND THEN COURTNEY JOCKS. I NEED A TUNE. CAMILLE KONG. AND NEIL ROSEN. GO AHEAD, GRADY. OUR RACE. OUR. TELL ME WE HAVE AN ALL WHITE SCHOOL BOARD WITHOUT TELLING ME WE HAVE AN ALL WHITE SCHOOL BOARD. I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT THE DISCOURSE AROUND RACE IS CENTERED AROUND THE ISSUES OF WHITE GUILT LIKE SLAVERY. BUT FOR 70 YEARS WE HAVE POTS THAT JAPAN ATTACKED PEARL HARBOR. BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE DELICATE, WHITE SENSIBILITIES ARE OFFENDED. NOW THE SCHOOL BOARD TAKES ACTION. 
          IT'S LIKE YOU THINK. WHITE KIDS HAVE AN INHERENTLY WEAKER MORAL CHARACTER. DYING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH IS NOT A HEALTHY WAY TO HANDLE GUILT. AFTER PEARL HARBOR , THE UNITED STATES DROPPED BOMBS ON THAT COUNTRY WITH THE HUMANS BECAUSE FOR ALL HUMANS FIRST THAT'S EVEN MORE STIGMATIZING. MISS ANDERSON. HOW DO YOU EXPECT STUDENTS TO LIVE UP TO YOUR HIGH EXPECTATIONS WHEN YOU DON'T EXPECT THEM TO BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO YOUR HIGH EXPECTATIONS, UNLIKE THEIR PARENT THEY WILL GET OVER THEIR GUILT BECAUSE NOT GOING TO BE FEELING GUILTY FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES. FINISH YOUR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. MISS JACKSON. YOU DIDN'T HAVE A SUBJECT. I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU OF JUST OKAY. THANK YOU. HI MY NAME IS COURTNEY. JACQUES AND I HAVE A STUDENT IN THE DISTRICT, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME THAT SUPPORT THE THEORY OF CRT. I BELIEVE MOST ARE EITHER UNAWARE OR DISHONEST OF ITS TRUE PURPOSE AND IDEOLOGIES. IT'S MASKED AND HIDDEN AS DISCUSSIONS OF EQUITY , SOCIAL JUSTICE, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING. IT ADVOCATES THE PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE OF STEREOTYPING, SCAPEGOATING AND DEMEANING PEOPLE UPON THE BASIS OF RACE. PLEASE RECOGNIZE CRT FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS THAT AT ITS CORE, IT PROMOTES RACE, ESSENTIAL ISM, COLLECTIVE GUILT AND NEO SEGREGATION WHICH VIOLATE THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY AND JUSTICE. SECONDARILY THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE ON WHICH CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS PREDICATED AS DISHONEST. WE MUST PROMOTE A TRUE STORY OF AMERICA ONE THAT IS HONEST ABOUT THE INJUSTICES AND THE HORRIFIC THINGS WE'VE DONE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. BUT THAT ALSO PLACES THEM IN CONTEXT OF OUR NATION'S HONORABLE FOUNDING AND PRINCIPLES. I IMPLORE YOU TO STAND AGAINST THE MOB THE LOBBYISTS AND AWOKE MENTALITY. PLEASE HAVE THE COURAGE TO FIGHT FOR TRUTH IN OUR DISTRICT AS WE EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION. I NEED A TON. ALTHOUGH WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE SUBJECT OF OUR 
          [00:10:01]
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AS NONPARTISAN, WE'RE STILL BLINDED BY THE PREDETERMINED OPINION OF WHETHER A PERSON IS WEARING GREEN OR RED. STILL, I ASK YOU TODAY TO BE OPEN MINDED FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY. HISTORY IS A CONSTRUCTION OF WEAK PERSPECTIVES, AND THERE'S NO ONE DEFINITIVE NARRATIVE. WE CLING TO THIS ROMANTICIZED VERSION OF THE PAST. HOWEVER WE NEED A WRECK US RECOGNIZE THE FLAWED PIECES OF AMERICA'S HISTORY. ONCE WE SHOWED US INTELLECTUAL VULNERABILITY, IT SHOWS HOW RESILIENT NATION IS, RATHER THAN DEMONSTRATING AN UNPATRIOTIC NOTION. SIEROTY DOES NOT BLAME ONE RACE BUT RATHER DISCUSSES HOW IN HISTORY. VARIOUS HATE GROUPS ARE CONDEMNED. SOCIETY DOES NOT DISCOURAGE STUDENTS. INSTEAD STUDENTS ARE OVERLAPPED . AN INTER SEXUALITY OF HISTORICAL FIGURES ARE INSPIRED THAT THEY COULD EMULATE THESE RESULTS. SECURITY DOES HAVE THE OVERALL COMMITMENT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE GOAL OF ACHIEVING EMPATHY FOR EACH OTHER'S BACKGROUND. THEREFORE I ASK FOR YOU TO STOP THE MAN VERSUS IT. THANK YOU. CAMILLE. AND WILL YOU PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME, PLEASE? CAMILLE KONG. I RUN MY SCHOOL'S POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVISM CLUB AND IT PROMOTES CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH DISCUSSIONS NO MATTER WHERE YOU FALL ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM CLEANING THIS HAS TAUGHT ME ONE THING. STUDENTS ARE CURIOUS, AND WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING. I WANT A MEETING. WE TALKED ABOUT CRT. WE HAVE DIVERSE MEMBERS FROM LEFT, RIGHT? AND EVEN IN BETWEEN, AND NOT ONCE DIDN'T COMPLAINED OR FELT LESSER THAN THIS BAN INHIBITS SO MANY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, AND IT ISN'T EVEN ABOUT CRT ANYMORE. IT'S ABOUT CENSORSHIP AND WHETHER YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS TOPIC, ELIMINATING THE CONVERSATION IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL. IN OUR AP HISTORY CLASS WERE ASKED NOT TO FOLLOW CERTAIN IDEOLOGY, BUT WE ARE STILL TAUGHT AT WE GATHER CONCRETE EVIDENCE, AND WE FORM OUR OWN OPINIONS. WHAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT IS THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND HOW WE LEARN THROUGH OTHERS IN OUR OWN EXPERIENCES. WHAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT IS ITS MISTAKES THAT WE AS A SOCIETY HAVE TRIED TO FIX. HE DOES NOT SAY TO HATE. OUR COUNTRY DOES NOT SAY TO BLAME US FOR AND RACE. IT IS ONLY A THEORY THAT OFFERS OF VARYING VIEWPOINT. SO I ASK YOU TO PLEASE STOP THE BIN OF CRT. NEID . THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC. I'M AN EDUCATOR. I'VE BEEN A SCHOOL COUNSELOR SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST FOR OVER 32 YEARS. I BELIEVE STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL. CAN USE CRITICAL THINKING TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICE ON WHAT IS RIGHT. AND WHAT IS WHAT IS AH, MISREPRESENTED. I THINK IT WOULD BE ASHAMED TO BAN CRT. UM. WE HAVE GONE, YOU KNOW IF THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS SOCIAL INJUSTICES THAT WE HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT OUR NATION ON PEOPLE OF COLOR. AND I BELIEVE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICE. UM JUST HAVING NEWS CLIPS, THE SHOWING NEWS CLIPS, SOCIAL MEDIA AND SO FORTH. I DON'T THINK IS THE PROPER WAY TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT LIKE SOME STUDENTS HAVE MENTIONED. AH TO EXPLORE OUR PAST HISTORY, SO WE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. IN A HASTINGS PATRICIA HAND. SO AND FIONA SALSBURY. AND HARRY, IF YOU'LL START. HELLO MY NAME IS HARRY JUDE. I ATTENDED YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATED IN 2018 AND I POSED THE BOARD FOR THE SOLUTION. BAN GUARANTEE. PERHAPS I CAN START WITH THE EXPRESS CONCERN THAT CRT BLAMES ALL WHITE PEOPLE FOR HISTORICAL TRANSGRESSIONS OF THE PAST. I COULD EXPLAIN THAT A CONCLUSION THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE DRAWN FROM CRT IS THAT ALL PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE PEOPLE HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGHT AGAINST THE RACIAL INEQUITY OF TODAY AND THAT THE PAST DOES IN FACT AFFECT WHERE WE ARE IN THE PRESENT. PERHAPS I CAN MENTION THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS ETHNIC STUDIES SCOTS, AS MANY OF WHICH YOU CRT ARE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING ACADEMIC ENTHUSIASM, ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL SEASON. WELL, IF THE RESOLUTION WERE TO PASS. I'M VERY CURIOUS AS TO HOW THE DISTRICT RECONCILES WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT RACISM. WHY RACIAL INEQUITY PERSISTS TODAY IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS, PRISONS HOUSING HEALTHCARE TO NAME A FEW INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE HERE T CONFRONTS THESE PROBLEMS IN A THEORETICAL AND RESEARCH BASED APPROACH, WHICH GROUNDS ITSELF AN ETHNIC STUDIES, SOCIOLOGY AND LAW. THEY BELIEVE THAT RACISM IS NO LONGER STRUCTURAL PROBLEM IN OUR SOCIETY PREVENTS US FROM UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE HISTORICAL CAUSES OF RACIAL INEQUITY. AND OUR CONTINUES TODAY IN SUPPORT TO MENTION THAT CRT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE OF STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS WHO PROTESTED AGAINST THE RACISM OF THEIR INSTITUTIONS. I LEAVE WITH A QUOTE FROM BELL HOOKS THAT CAN'T FINISH TO RESISTANCE BEGINS WITH PEOPLE CONFRONTING. PLEASE CONCLUDE SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT. MCKENNA, YOU'RE UP NEXT. HI I'M A STUDENT AT ESPERANZA. I BELIEVE CRT SHOULD NOT BE BANNED. I THINK THIS 
          [00:15:06]
BECAUSE EVEN IF CRT WAS TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL, IT WOULDN'T MAKE ME HATE MY COUNTRY. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN MY COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP AND DECISIONS THEY HAVE MADE. BUT THE THING IS ALL THESE ACTIONS HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY, SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST, AND IF WE DON'T LEARN THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST, THEN WE WILL KEEP REPEATING AND THE CYCLE OF DISAPPOINTING OURSELVES AND BEING DISAPPOINTED IN OUR COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP. SO UNTIL WE LEARN THE WHOLE TRUTH OF THE PAST WON'T BE ABLE TO WORK TOWARDS AN EQUAL AND PEACEFUL FUTURE BECAUSE WE WILL KEEP REPEATING THIS CYCLE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND TO THE BOARD AND ADULTS IN THE ROOM. IF YOU APPROVE THIS BAND, YOU WILL NOT JUST BE DISAPPOINTING ME. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED ALL THE STUDENTS, PARENTS AND FACULTY IN THIS DISTRICT THAT AGREE WITH ME, BUT COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY TO HELP PROPOSE THIS BAN. I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT IS. IF YOU DISAPPOINT US, WE WILL LOSE FAITH IN YOU. AND IF WE LOSE OUR FAITH IN YOU, HOW HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TRUST YOU TO MAKE YOUR BRIGHT DECISIONS FOR US AND FOR THIS COMMUNITY, BUT MOST OF ALL, YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED IN YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOU WILL REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU HAVE LED DOWN IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. HELLO MY NAME IS PATRICIA HANZO AND MY PARENTS. AND THIS RESOLUTION WILL BE WEAPONIZED. SO DON'T GIVE BAD ACTORS. THIS WRITTEN WEAPON SCHOOLS SHOULD BE SAFE PLACES FOR STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES. FOR THEM TO RESPECTFULLY DISCUSS DIFFERENT TOPICS AND HALF DEBATES. MEAN SPIRITED ACTIONS MAY BE A RESULT OF THIS RESOLUTION. IF APPROVED, PLEASE VOTE NO. NEFARIOUS ACTIONS ARE AT RISK FOR THIS DISTRICT. SUCH DECISIONS AND DOCUMENTS CAN END UP LOOKING LIKE PLANS. TO PLACE LIMITS ON LESSON PLANS, WATER DOWN OR REMOVE A SCHOOL PROGRAM. IT CAN MAKE TEACHERS ACT AS SPEECH POLICE, WHICH WILL REALLY HURT DISCUSSIONS AND CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES. AND CREATE A CULTURE THAT IS PUNITIVE AGAINST STUDENTS, LIBRARIANS AND DISTRICT DISTRICT CONTRACTORS. 
          CREATING DOUBT IN THE CLASSROOM . ULTIMATELY DAMAGES DEBATES, OPEN DIALOGUE AND CRITICAL THINKING. DO NOT GIVE BAD ACTORS. THIS WRITTEN WEAPON CALLED RESOLUTION. 21 12. MY NAME IS FIONA SALSBURY, AND I'M A JUNIOR AT YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN MANY PEOPLE ARGUE TO REMOVE THE TEACHINGS OF CRT. THEY COME UP WITH THE ARGUMENT THAT CRT MAKES CERTAIN STUDENTS FEEL AS IF THEY ARE THE OPPRESSORS BY BANNING THE TEACHINGS OF CRT AND BY BANNING DISCUSSIONS OF RACE RELATED TOPICS. STUDENTS OF ALL RACES WILL BE EDUCATED IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF IGNORANCE. THE PURPOSE OF SENDING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IS FOR THEM TO LEARN AND PREPARE FOR THE OBSTACLES THAT THEY WILL FACE AFTER GRADUATING . BUT HOW CAN STUDENTS WHO AREN'T TAUGHT ABOUT RACISM PROBABLY FACE A WORLD THAT IS FILLED WITH IT. ELIMINATING THE TEACHINGS OF CRT AND RACISM IS DENYING THE TRUTH. AND EVEN IF WE WISH MANY PARTS OF HISTORY WERE NOT TRUE, WE CAN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT EVENTS SUCH AS SLAVERY, THE HOLOCAUST, AND MANY MORE HAPPENED BECAUSE OF RACISM. BY SUPPORTING CENSORSHIP IN THE CRT BAN. YOU MAKE YOURSELF AN OPPRESSOR TO ALL STUDENTS OF COLOR AND P WHILE USD THANK YOU. BEFORE WE GO ON. I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE ALL TURN OUR PHONES OVER OR PUT THEM AWAY SO THAT WE'RE NOT DISTRACTED AND USING THEM DURING OUR MEETING. I KNOW YOU TOLD ME TO PUT MY PHONE AWAY A MOMENT AGO, BUT I HAVE A KID AT EL MEDINA. I HAVE A KID THAT'S SWIMMING AND I HAVE ONE KID THAT'S GOING TO BE PICKING UP. SO IF THEY NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME AS ONE OF MY SONS JUST DID I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. SO I WILL NOT PUT MY PHONE. COULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE IT AT THAT? AND, WELL, THAT'S WHAT I JUST LEFT IT AT MY SON TEXTED ME WOULD LIKE ME TO READ THE TEXT. I DON'T MEAN LIKE ME. NO, I DON'T NEED TO READ THE TEST. BUT WE ALL HAVE CHILDREN AND I HAVE CHILDREN AT HOME, TOO. AND I HAVE A HUSBAND AT WORK. AND I HAVE KIDS EVERYWHERE THAT DON'T DRIVE, SO IF THEY'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATION IF THEY NEED AN EMERGENCY IS FINE, BUT WHEN WE'RE IN OUR MIDDLE OF OUR MEETING SCROLLING THROUGH DISTRACTIVE. THANK YOU. OKAY. 
          OUR NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS ARE RYAN LYNN. ABIGAIL LEAN, MATTHEW STRYKER AND JOSH SCHROEDER. 
          RYAN, YOU'RE FIRST. HELLO MY NAME IS RYAN LYNN AND I AM A SOPHOMORE AT VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING THAT BYPASSING THE CRT BAND, YOU ARE DIRECTLY GOING AGAINST THE WISHES OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS. COUNTLESS TIMES IN PASSPORT MEETING STUDENTS HAVE COME UP AND EXPRESSED HOW THEY DIRECTLY DO NOT WANT THE CRT TO BAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 
          [00:20:05]
SCHOOL YEAR, THE SCHOOL PASSES OUT BRACELETS, SAYING THAT STUDENTS WERE HEARD NEEDED AND NURTURED. BUT BYPASSING THE BAN. YOU ARE EXPRESSING THAT WE ARE NOT BEING HEARD. WE'VE SHOWN OUR OPINIONS AND WHAT WE THINK SHOULD HAPPEN. AND YET YOU GUYS ARE DIRECTLY GOING AGAINST IT. 
          PASSING THE CRT BAND. IS THE. IS CENSORSHIP, WHICH WE LEARNED ABOUT IN L. A. IN THE BOOK FAHRENHEIT 4 51. CENSORING STARTS NOW AND IT CAN ONLY GET MORE AND MORE WORSE. ABIGAIL. MY NAME IS ABIGAIL LEE AND I'VE BEEN A STUDENT IN THIS DISTRICT FOR OVER 10 YEARS. I OPPOSE THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY BAND. OUR DISTRICT HAS PROMISED TO COMMIT TO EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY. HOWEVER OUR CURRICULUM DOES NOT CURRENTLY REFLECT THAT COMMITMENT LESS THAN 20% OF BOOKS ON THE CORN EXTENDED READING LISTS ARE WRITTEN BY AUTHORS OF COLOR. 
          EVEN OUR AP CLASSES, SOME OF WHICH TEACH US ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM AND INEQUALITY ARE AT RISK. THIS GETS ME MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS BAN IS WILLING TO CENSOR THE EXACT KIND OF BOOKS AND CONTENT WITHIN OUR CURRICULUM. WHAT DOES THIS BAND REALLY HERE TO DO? WHAT WE STOP TALKING ABOUT REAL LIFE INJUSTICE? HOW MANY MORE TESTIMONIES OF DISCRIMINATION DO WE HAVE TO SHARE? HOW MANY MORE OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO BE CALLED SLURS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL HALLWAYS. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED AND HATE CRIME FOR THE STATISTIC TO BE BIG ENOUGH, NOR TO PROVE THAT SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY EXISTS. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM THAT DON'T AGREE WITH ME. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR VIEWS. AND ONE NIGHT, HOWEVER, I AM ASKING YOU TO STAND AGAINST CENSORSHIP. 
          EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME. PLEASE LISTEN TO MY VOICE. IF I AM TRULY A PART OF THE GROUP, YOU AIM TO PROTECT LEARNING ABOUT THE TRUTH WILL NEVER MAKE US LESS AMERICAN. THANK YOU. 
          MATTHEW. MY NAME IS MATTHEW STRYKER. AND I OPPOSE RESOLUTION . 21 12. I'M A WHITE, PARENT OF WHITE STUDENTS AT TOPAZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AS SUCH, IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT MY CHILDREN LEARN ABOUT THE RACIAL INJUSTICES THAT HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO BE REALITIES IN OUR NATION SINCE ITS INCEPTION. AND LEARNING ABOUT RACIAL INEQUALITY IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT TAKING ON THE BLAME OR BEING SHAMED, BUT INSTEAD GAIN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE POWERS OF EMPATHY, RESPECT AND COMPASSION FOR ALL PEOPLE OF ALL RACES, ETHNICITIES AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. GUIDING THEM TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS WHO LOOK OUT FOR THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS AND VALUE THE HUMANITY OF THOSE WHO ARE TOO OFTEN IGNORED OR DEEMED LESS THAN DUE TO EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT BIASES INFUSED INTO OUR COUNTRY'S LANDSCAPE. BUT IF WE'RE HONEST, HAVE BEEN SHAPED BY HISTORY OF RACISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY. IN AN EMAIL TO THIS BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MY WIFE, VANESSA WROTE THESE WISE WORDS. ONE THING WE LEARNED FROM HISTORY IS THAT EVERY TIME THERE'S A MOVEMENT TOWARDS JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. THERE'S ALSO PUSHED BACK FROM THOSE WHO BENEFIT FROM THE STATUS QUO. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS IN TIME. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE MORE AWARENESS, THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE WAYS THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE BEEN UNJUSTLY TREATED. RATHER THAN BEING VICTIMS. THEY'RE STEPPING UP AND SPEAKING OUT ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGE. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN IN. PLEASE OPPOSE RESOLUTION. 21 12. JOSH YOU'RE GOING TO BE UP NEXT AND AFTER JOSH WILL BE JEREMY KELLY RYAN, RAW THREE. SARAH PHILLIPS AND AMY SWEARINGEN. UM, YEAH. MY NAME IS JOSH. RIGHT? I HAVE TWO KIDS IN SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. THIS RESOLUTION DOES NOT DEFINE CRITICAL RACE THEORY CORRECTLY. 
          THIS RESOLUTION BANS IN IRRELEVANT, NONSENSICAL POLITICAL BOOGEYMAN, AND IT DOES SO AT OUR CHILDREN'S EXPENSE. IT IS SO POORLY WORDED THAT TEACHERS WILL END UP AVOIDING NECESSARY TOPICS AROUND RACE JUST TO BE SAFE, AS MANY HAVE NOTED IT COULD PUT OUR AP COURSES AT RISK. EITHER WAY, MY KIDS AND YOURS WILL HAVE FEWER OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW. 
          THIS RESOLUTION COMES AT A TIME WHEN RACISM IS ON THE RISE IN ORANGE COUNTY, EVEN AT OUR OWN SCHOOL SPORTING EVENTS AND THAT FRIGHTENING CLIMATE, THIS RESOLUTION SIGNALS TO STUDENTS OF COLOR THAT THEY SHOULD LIMIT WHAT THEY SAY AT SCHOOL ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH RACISM. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT SAYS WHEREAS ON THE FIRST PAGE STUDENTS WILL FEEL SILENCED, NOT SUPPORTED. SO IF IT'S NOT ACTUALLY ABOUT CRT IF IT REDUCES LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IF ITS SILENCE AND SILENCES STUDENTS WHO DOES THIS RESOLUTION REALLY HELP IT HELPS PARTISAN TRUSTEES RALLY THEIR BASE. PLEASE VOTE. NO PLEASE STOP THIS. AND BARRIS NG SELFISH, POINTLESS POLITICAL POSTURING. DON'T LET LIMIT MY KIDS OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN SHOW RESPECT FOR ALL STUDENTS. JEREMY KELLY. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS AFTERNOON. I SPEAK TO YOU TODAY AS A HISTORY TEACHER IN OUR DISTRICT. I GET IT. YOU WANT TO PROTECT CHILDREN? THAT'S ADMIRABLE, BUT THE WAY TO PROTECT OUR STUDENTS IS NOT BY HIRING, HIDING AND PAPERING OVER THE MESSY PARTS OF OUR PAST. BUT TO PRESENT THE GOOD AND THE BAD 
          [00:25:03]
TO ALLOW THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES TO WORK OUT THE REASONS BEHIND EVENTS AND HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO DO BETTER AND TO IMPROVE OUR COUNTRY. BEFORE VOTING TO INFLUENCE THIS RESOLUTION. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE LONG TERM IMPACTS OF THESE PROHIBITIONS. I WOULD HOPE AND ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT TO BRING TOGETHER A GROUP OF DISTRICT TEACHERS TO DETERMINE THE FAR REACHING AND HOPEFULLY UNINTENTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF SOME OF THIS RESTRICTIVE LANGUAGE. WE ALSO HAVE A HIGHLY RESPECTED HISTORY PROGRAM IN THE COMMUNITY. JUST DOWN THE STREET AT CAL STATE FULLERTON. OUR DISTRICT IS WORSE. LUZIA CSU F IN THE PAST AND WE COULD BE ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH THEM THE LANGUAGE FOUND WITHIN THE RESOLUTION. AND SEE WHAT THE LONG TERM IMPACT WOULD BE FOR STUDENTS GOING ON TO A HIGHER EDUCATION. LAST TIME I SPOKE, I SAID, IF YOU WERE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT TEACHERS, BLAMING STUDENTS FOR THE DECISIONS OF OUR FOREFATHERS MAKE THAT YOUR RESOLUTION SAY, WHERE IS P Y ALL USD ACKNOWLEDGES THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DECISIONS MADE BEFORE THEIR TIME. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUALLY TRY TO CREATE A BETTER CONSTITUTION. OKAY REAGAN. REAGAN RAW THREE. FREAKINESS. ARE YOU? REAGAN? YEAH. GO AHEAD. 
          THANK YOU. I OPPOSE RESOLUTION. 21 12. THIS RESOLUTION WAS CREATED TO INFLAME A POLITICAL REACTION. NOT FURTHER EDUCATION OR EQUITY IN OUR DISTRICT. HOW WILL THIS BE IMPLEMENTED? THIS RESOLUTION IS SO BROAD THAT ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS WILL HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT CONCEPTS ARE PROHIBITED. NEITHER WILL PARENTS. WHAT'S TO STOP PARENTS FROM INTERPRETING A LESSON TO BE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS RESOLUTION AND THEN HARASSED TEACHERS STRESSSABLE US COMPENSATION LAW IN THE LAND, AND THE ADJUDICATION OF A STRESS CLAIM IS ROUGHLY $25,000. PLUS THE TEACHER'S SALARY, WHICH HAS 60 DAYS ED COAT, OR 100% OF A TEACHER'S SALARY FOR 60 DAYS, PLUS THE COST OF A SUBSTITUTE PER CLAIM. MR YOUNGBLOOD LAST SESSION, YOU WERE BALKING AT $3500 IN AN EXPENDITURE THAT YOU THOUGHT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY WOULD WE PUT THIS DISTRICT IN A POSITION TO SPEND TENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? THIS RESOLUTION DOES NOTHING FOR OUR STUDENTS, NOTHING FOR OUR STAFF AND NOTHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          PLEASE VOTE NOW, SARAH. SARAH IS GOING TO BE UP NEXT. AND THEN AMY SWEARINGEN, JOAN HERRICK. AM VERY FAIR AND GALA DECIMA. I OPPOSED TO CRT PAN. I READ A MEMOIR LAST WEEK TITLED BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY BY 10 JULIE WANG. SHE BEGINS HER LIFE IN CHINA, AND SHE DESCRIBES HER FATHER GETTING IN TROUBLE AS AN EDUCATOR FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM HIS STUDENTS ABOUT THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION. IN CHINA THAT HAPPENED FROM 1966 TO 1976 WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. THAT DECADE SAW MANY MASSACRES, RESULTING IN AT LEAST A QUARTER MILLION DEATHS. ESTIMATE 20 MILLION. IN THIS TIME, SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES WERE CLOSED. EDUCATORS WERE EXECUTED OR HARASSED INTO SUICIDE. IT WAS TERRIBLE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHINA, BUT THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT WANT ITS EDUCATORS TO DISCUSS SUCH THINGS, EVEN IN THE LATE EIGHTIES AND EARLY 19 NINETIES. A TIGHT REIN ON INFORMATION STILL IS THE STATUS QUO IN CHINA. A BAN OF CRT, HOWEVER, YOU DEFINE IT IS THE SAME AND EDUCATIONAL GAG ORDER. IT IS CENSORSHIP. IT IS A DENIAL OF TRUTH. LET TEACHERS TEACH. LET STUDENTS LEARN. I OPPOSE THE CRT BAN. AMY SWEARINGEN, EUROPE FIRST. I HAVE, UM AH. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH CRT IS THAT I FEEL LIKE IT IS TEACHING KIDS TO JUDGE EACH OTHER BASED SOLELY OR MOSTLY ON THEIR RACE FIRST, RATHER THAN THEIR MERIT AND THEIR CHARACTER. MY SON IS A SENIOR AT ELDORADO AND HE'S IN THE PROCESS. OF WAITING FOR COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES. 12 OF HIS CLASSMATES WERE ACCEPTED TO YOU LAST WEEK, BUT HE WAS NOT ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WAS ACCEPTED IS EXCEPTIONALLY DESERVING. I KNOW HER PERSONALLY. SHE HAS EXCELLENT GRADES. SHE'S BEEN IN MOCK TRIAL ON SB. PLAYS THE SPORT AND SUPER SUPER SWEET GIRL. SHE ALSO HAPPENS TO BE HISPANIC AND FROM A LOW INCOME FAMILY. WHEN MY SON FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS ACCEPTED, HE WAS SUPER HAPPY FOR HER AND SENT HER A TEXT. HER REPLY WAS, I PROBABLY ONLY GOT IN BECAUSE I'M HISPANIC. HOW SAD IS THAT? THAT SHE WOULD CALL USE? THINK THAT SHE QUALIFIED ONLY BECAUSE OF HER RACE, AND NOT BECAUSE OF ALL OF HER EFFORTS. SHE WORKED HER BUTT OFF FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. SEVERAL OTHER KIDS THAT GOT IN A BUNCH OF KIDS IN HIS AP LIT CLASS ALL KOREAN MALES, THEY JOKED, I PROBABLY PROBABLY ONLY GOT IN BECAUSE THE ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR WAS KOREAN. THAT'S NOT HOW QUESTION MARKS. JOAN HERRICK. I'LL BE READING THIS STATEMENT FROM ANGELA EYES, SELLERS WHO IS UNABLE TO BE HERE TODAY. AND IT STARTS. THIS ISSUE 
          [00:30:03]
IS OF UTMOST CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. WE BELIEVE IN TRUTH AND EDUCATION. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE . THE DIVISIVE CRT VAN THAT IS ON THE TABLE. NOT ONLY COMPROMISES TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, BUT IT HURTS OUR STUDENTS. THE COLLEGE BOARD THAT OVERSEES ADVANCED PLACEMENT CLASSES, HAS WARNED DISTRICTS THAT CHOOSE TO CENSOR INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT. COULD LOSE THEIR AP DESIGNATION. BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE TRYING TO RESTRICT AND CONTROL ACADEMIC CONTENT ARE PUTTING PARTISAN AND POLITICAL THEATER ABOVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STUDENTS AND JEOPARDIZING THEIR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUDING AP CLASSES. MY CHILDREN DESERVE TO BE CHALLENGED TO EXCEL AND TO ACHIEVE THEIR PERSONAL DREAMS AND GOALS. I AM VERY. MY NAME IS EMBRY FAIR. I'M A PARENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN. THIS. RESOLUTION PROPOSED GOES BEYOND BANNING CRT . IT BANS ALL DISCUSSION OF RACISM. IT'S AN IRREFUTABLE FACT THAT RACISM EXISTS AND HAS EXISTED IN THE FORM OF SLAVERY. IMMIGRATION BANS LYNCHING SEGREGATION, ETCETERA. RACISM IS LEARNED. HISTORY IS UGLY, BECAUSE OPPRESSORS BECAUSE OF OPPRESSORS, EXPLOITING AND ABUSING OTHERS WITH LESS POWER THAN THE ERASE OPPOSITION TO THE PROBLEM BY PRETENDING THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS IS HISTORY, REPEATING ITSELF. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY. I LOVE OUR SCHOOLS AND I LOVE OUR TEACHERS. I CANNOT BEAR THE THOUGHT OF THEM. BEING FIRED BECAUSE THEY TAUGHT ANY NUMBER OF HISTORICAL FACTS THAT HIGHLIGHT RACISM. I AM REALLY TIRED OF SEEING INNOCENT GRANDMA'S LOOK LIKE MIKE GRANDMA'S BEING BEATEN BY RACISTS. HANDS ARE TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN TO BE RACIST. AND WHERE CAN CHILDREN UNLEARNED THIS BUT IN THEIR SCHOOLS? PLEASE TEACH THEM THAT WE ARE REAL PEOPLE WERE NOT FACELESS. 
          THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE. THANK YOU. GAYLE. GAYLE. AFTER OH, I'M SORRY. THAT RIGHT? OKAY AFTER GAIL AND GAFFNEY, SONIA DOLLY WALL. CARRIE BURNELL AND JORDAN'S MURRAY. HELLO ON GALA DOES MAMA AND I OPPOSE THE CRT BAND? WHEN I GREW UP IN THE SOUTH, I LEARNED A LOT OF NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR. IN FACT, EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR WAS NEGATIVE. AS AN OLDER ADULT. I'VE HAD TO UNLEARN THAT INFORMATION. AND EMBRACE PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION , THE SAME AS I WOULD FOR MY NEIGHBOR. WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE OUR HISTORY AND NOT FEAR IT. THERE IS NO SHAME AND LEARNING ONLY SHAME AND NOT LEARNING THE LESSONS. HISTORY HAS TO TEACH US. THOSE WHO WANT THE CRT BAN. ARE THE VERY REASON WHY WE NEED TO TEACH TRUTH ABOUT OUR PAST. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE A TIME WHEN BOOKS, EDUCATION AND IDEAS WOULD BE BANNED IN EDUCATIONAL UHH INSTITUTIONS. I OPPOSE THE CRT BAN. AND GAFFNEY. 
          HELLO MY NAME'S SANNE. GAFFNEY AND I OPPOSED THE CRT BAND. YOU CAN'T DISCUSS AMERICAN HISTORY WITHOUT DISCUSSING RACISM. AMERICANS WANT LIBERTY AND JUSTICE. FOR ALL. AND IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE FOR US, AS EVIDENCED BY THE DEVASTATION OF NATIVE PEOPLES SLAVERY. THE CIVIL WAR. 
          JIM CROW. THE INTERNMENT OF JAPANESE CITIZENS. AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, WHICH WAS IN MY LIFETIME NOT VERY LONG AGO. WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE GLOBE. ALL RACES , RELIGIONS, ETHNICITIES AND CULTURES. AND GOD WANTS ALL OF ITS CHILDREN TO BE TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY UNDER THE LAW. AND AMERICANS WANT THAT, TOO. IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A STRUGGLE, BUT IT'S WORTHY GOAL. AND CRT IS IN OPPOSITION TO THAT GOAL, AND IRONY IS CRT. PLACE INCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. SONIA DHALIWAL. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M SPEAKING TODAY TO PLEAD FOR YOU TO OPPOSE THE CRT BAN. MANY OF THE PARENTS WHO SPEAK AT THESE MEETINGS OFTEN 
          [00:35:04]
DECLARE THAT MASK MANDATES AND VACCINE MANDATES ARE AKIN TO FASCISM AND COMMUNISM. IF YOU PASS THIS BAN AND ALLOWED THIS LEVEL OF CENSORSHIP OF THE TRUTH THAT WILL TAKE US CLOSER TO FASCISM THAN ANY PUBLIC HEALTH MANDATE EVER WILL. PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR PRE EXISTING BELIEFS AND LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS. THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT ARE ETHNIC MINORITIES. I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT ARE ETHNIC MINORITIES. THE PROPOSED BRT BAND WILL PREVENT THEM FROM BEING TAUGHT IMPORTANT HISTORY THAT IS DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THEIR LIVES. BANNING THE TEACHING OF THE HISTORY OF THEIR CULTURAL STRUGGLES IN THIS COUNTRY IS LIKE TELLING THEM THEY'RE NOT IMPORTANT. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THE MAJORITY OF YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT IMPORTANT? WE CANNOT KEEP PRETENDING RACISM DOESN'T EXIST IN THIS DISTRICT. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE SPOKEN TONIGHT. PLEASE DON'T GIVE IN TO THE LOUD MINORITY OF CONSTITUENTS AND PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU. HARRY. HI I'M CARRIE. BURNELL. I'VE LIVED IN PLACENTIA FOR 20 YEARS. I HAVE HAD FOUR BOYS THAT GO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS DISTRICT. MY HUSBAND AND I DIDN'T GROW UP HERE. WE WORKED HARD TO SAVE SO WE COULD BUY A HOUSE IN AN AREA WITH A GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT. PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WHAT LED US HERE. ALL MY BOYS WENT TO ELDORADO. MY YOUNGEST SON IS STILL THERE AND NOT ONE OF THEM KNOWS WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY SAY CRITICAL RACE THEORY. IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WENT TO EL DORADO AND NOT HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. NOT ONE OF MY KIDS FEELS BAD FOR BEING WHITE. NOR DO THEY FEEL LIKE PLACENTIA. YORBA LINDA. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS TRIED TO MAKE THEM FEEL BAD FOR BEING WHITE. I ASKED THEM THE QUESTION. DO YOU FEEL GUILTY FOR THINGS YOU'VE LEARNED AT SCHOOL? AND ONE REPLAY. HAVE ONE REPLY WAS I HAVE NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY FOR. I THINK EMPATHY IS A BETTER WORD FOR IT. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING WHITE MEN. DON'T LET THE FEW MISINFORMED IN THIS COMMUNITY DUMBED DOWN YOUR KIDS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE YELLING. THE LOUDEST DOESN'T MAKE THEM RIGHT. DON'T LET THE LAND OF GRACIOUS LIVING BECOME THE LAND OF RACIST LIVING. JORDAN'S YEP. AFTER PLEASE. LITTLE QUIET SO THAT I CAN CALL AT THE NEXT FEW NAMES JORDAN'S AFTER JORDAN'S IT WILL BE SHANI MURRAY, BEATRIX JOHNSON. TODD FRAZIER AND MATT SYLVESTER. TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS JORDAN MURRAY. I'M A RECENT GRADUATE FROM ELDORADO 2021. I'VE GONE TO SCHOOL IN THIS DISTRICT SINCE PRESCHOOL. 
          I'VE READ YOUR MOST RECENT DRAFT OF THE CRT RESOLUTION. AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT YOU THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DEFINING. TO CONCLUDE THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS ANY TEACHING OF MERITOCRACY, INTERSECTIONALITY OR THE IDEA THAT OUR RACE IS INHERENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY RACIST? AS A GROSS MISREPRESENTATION OF CRT AS A CONCEPT. BY FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THIS BAN. DO YOU INTEND TO LIMIT THE TEACHING OF THE TRAIL OF TEARS? THE CIVIL WAR, JAPANESE INTERNMENT OR DREAM, CARLOS? ALL OF THESE HISTORICAL EVENTS HAVE INCLUDED DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE AND ON THE INTENT OF OPPRESSION. IF YOU INTEND TO BAN THESE TOPICS, THEN I CAN TELL YOU AS A FORMER AP US HISTORY STUDENT YOU WOULD BE CUTTING HALF OF THE CLASS CURRICULUM. I TRUST CREDENTIAL TEACHERS IN OUR DISTRICT TO DETERMINE WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO DISCUSS IN THE CLASSROOM JUST AS THEY DID FOR ME THROUGHOUT MY 15 YEARS ATTENDING SCHOOL HERE, AND YOU SHOULD, TOO. SHANI MURRAY. I'M SHANNON MURRAY. WE ASK THAT STUDENTS CITE THEIR SOURCES SO THIS RESOLUTION SHOULD CITE ITS SOURCES IN MY CRT RESEARCH. NOT ONCE HAVE I READ THAT A PERSON'S RACE DETERMINES THEIR MORAL CHARACTER. MY DAUGHTER GRADUATED LAST YEAR AND WAS NEVER TAUGHT THAT OUR RACE IS INHERENTLY RACIST. SO WHAT P Y EL LESSONS ARE YOU TRYING TO CENSOR? YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT TRYING TO ADDRESS ISSUES SUCH AS THE YORBA LINDA POSTER INCIDENT OR THE SOCCER FAN INCIDENT. AND YOU WON'T HELP THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE RECOUNTED STORIES OF RACISM FEEL NOTICED NEEDED AND NURTURED. CENSORING HONEST DISCUSSIONS AROUND SYSTEMIC RACISM WON'T HELP OUR STUDENTS BECOME PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS IN AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE WORLD. THE NATIONAL HOUSING ACT OF 1934 FORMALIZED REDLINING. BLACK CHILDREN ARE 18 TIMES, NOR LIKELY TO BE SENTENCED AS ADULTS THAN WHITE KIDS. THE NUMBER ONE PREDICTOR OF WHETHER YOU LIVE CLOSE TO A POLLUTING FACILITY. IS RACE. I DON'T EXPECT MY FRESHMAN SON TO BE BLAMED FOR THIS, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO SHIELD HIM FROM OUR HISTORY AND LIVED EXPERIENCES OF MANY AMERICANS. BEATRIX. HELLO I'M BEATRIX 
          [00:40:07]
JOHNSON. AND I'M REALLY NOT SURPRISED. WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION, A FORMER SUN DOWNTOWN. THE PARENTS ARE RIGHT. RACISM IS TAUGHT. IT'S TAUGHT AT HOME AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED OUR SCHOOLS TO TEACH AGAINST RACISM. LITTLE JOHNNY AND LITTLE SUSIE. YOU'RE DOING WHAT KIDS NATURALLY DO. THEY TRY TO GAIN THEIR PARENTS' ACCEPTANCE. THEY DO THIS BY BECOMING MINI VERSIONS OF THEIR PARENTS. WHY DID THAT WHITE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SCREAM? YOUR DAD IS MY GARDENER TOWARDS HISPANIC STUDENT CLEARLY THAT STUDENTS PARENTS RAISED THAT CHILD TO THINK THAT BEING A GARDENER IS LESS THAN JOB UNWORTHY OF RESPECT. WHAT DOES ADOLF HITLER BENITO MUSSOLINI, SADDAM HUSSEIN AND YORBA LINDA HAVE IN COMMON? THEY ALL BAND EDUCATION. IS THAT THE HISTORY LESSON THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU'RE BELINDA DOES THIS TO FOLLOW ABHORRENT DICTATORS AND BANNING BOOKS AND EDUCATION. FASCIST BAN EDUCATION. F Y I FASHION MEANS A PERSON WHO IS VERY INTOLERANT OR DOMINEERING IN A PARTICULAR AREA , A PERSON WHO IS EXTREMELY AUTHORITARIAN, INTOLERANT OR PRESIDENT. HOW ARE THOSE WANTING TO BAN CRT, NOT FASCISTS. TODD. 
          ALL RIGHT, TODD, PLEASE GO AHEAD . I'M TODD FRAZIER. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GLAD TO SEE SOMEBODY STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS OUT HERE. THAT'S GREAT. AT FOUR O'CLOCK. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR SOME OF US PARENTS TO GET HERE. SO IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE TIMING OF THE MEETING JUST GOING TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. ALSO THIS LETTER THAT WAS ON THE ALL OF THE SEATS PRESENTED AS IF IT WAS PART OF THE P WELL HANDOUT FROM THE AMERICAN HISTORY ASSOCIATION. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO PUT THAT THERE. JUST INTERESTING IF YOU READ THROUGH THAT. I THINK AH CRT NEEDS BE BANNED, AND I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT, MARILYN, I'M TALKING TO YOU. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS FUELED BY DIVIDING US IN AN ALREADY DIVIDED SOCIETY . IT'S GOING TO IT'S NOT GOING TO CRT DOES NOT SAY RACISM DOESN'T EXIST. RACISM IS TAUGHT . WE TALK ABOUT SLAVERY. WE TALK ABOUT JIM CROW LAWS. THAT'S ALREADY THAT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TAKING THAT OUT. WE'RE SAYING DON'T DIVIDE OUR PEOPLE BY WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. WE NEED TO TEACH INCLUSIVITY. WE NEED TO TEACH. EVERYBODY IS CREATED EQUAL. CRT DOES THE OPPOSITE. IT DIVIDES US BASED ON RACE. THANK YOU. MATT. AFTER MATT WILL BE BEEN STUBS STEPHANIE DE JULIE. KLINKENBERG. AND JOSEPHINE KIM. HI MY NAME IS MATT SYLVESTER AND I'M A CONCERN. PLACENTIA CITIZEN . I'M ALSO STUDYING AMERICAN HISTORY AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS AT CAL STATE FULLERTON. UM THERE'S ABOUT 40 THINGS I WANT TO SAY RIGHT NOW, UM, BUT THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY, IS THAT THIS DEFINITION IS JUST SO BACKWARDS. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. IN NO WAY IS CRT ABOUT MAKING A PERSON'S RACE TWO TERMS THEIR MORAL CHARACTER AND MAKES HIM RESPONSIBLE FOR PASTURING AGGRESSIONS OF THAT RACE. THIS COMES FROM SUCH AN INSECURE WHITE GUILT. VIEWPOINT THAT JUST I REALLY IMPLORE THE BOARD AND I FEEL FOR YOU COMING FROM A WHITE PERSON WHO GREW UP IN ORANGE COUNTY. THERE'S A LOT OF UNLEARNING TO DO THERE, BUT YOU CAN PUT IN THAT WORK AND YOU REPRESENT THE STUDENTS AND YOU NEED TO PUT IN THAT WORK AND JUST DIVERSIFY YOUR VIEWPOINT. SO I OPPOSED THIS BAN. BEEN STUBS. HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          BEEN STUBBS, A PARENT OF AH, STUDENT HERE AT AH, PLACENTIA. YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT, UM , WERE BELIEVERS IN GOD, AND WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A GOD THAT LOVES VARIETY. AND GROWING UP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I'M IN FAVOR OF AN ORGANIC KIND OF ETHNIC STUDIES THAT WE GOT BY JUST BEING IN A DIVERSE CLASSROOM BEING ON THE DIVERSE SOCCER TEAMS SPORTING EVENTS. I LIKE THE ORGANIC WAY. I DON'T LIKE THE SYNTHETIC WAY THAT I GOT UNDER MY UNDERGRAD AND GRADUATE STUDIES AT CAL STATE FULLERTON REGARDS TO ETHNIC STUDIES BECAUSE IT WAS PRETTY RACIST, AND I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER OR ANY KIDS TO BE EXPOSED TO THAT. LET'S GO TO THE ORGANIC WAY. AND OTHER SYNTHETIC WAY IF WE INTRODUCED THIS KIND OF MATERIAL PRIOR TO COLLEGE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROSA PARKS , LEARNING ABOUT ROSA PARKS AND LEARNING ABOUT EMMETT TILL I DON'T THINK HIGH SCHOOLERS SHOULD BE LEARNING ABOUT EMMETT TILL WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. NOT READY. BUT YOU HAVE TO AN INTERESTING QUESTION ME LEFT. PLEASE BE QUIET THAT EVERYBODY WANTS IN THE FUTURE TO HAVE CRT. WHY ARE THE FACES ALL COVERED? WHY DON'T THEY SHOW THEIR FACES? OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER STEPHANIE DE. OKAY I PLAN SOMETHING, BUT I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MY DAUGHTER IS A STUDENT AT ELDORADO. AND LAST YEAR SHE WAS TAUGHT TO FEEL BAD ABOUT THE WHITE COLOR OF HER SKIN. AND I HOPE NO ONE IN OUR SCHOOLS LEARNS TO FEEL THAT WAY 
          [00:45:04]
. BUT OUR KIDS ARE ALREADY BEING SENT CENSORED, BUT BECAUSE WE'RE REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS. WE DON'T GET VALUE FOR THAT KIDS WERE TOLD TO TAKE THEIR TRUMP FLAGS DOWN IN THEIR BEDROOMS DURING ZOOM KIDS WERE TOLD TO TAKE OFF THEIR MAGA HATS. KIDS WERE TOLD THEY CAN'T TALK ABOUT JESUS, MY DAUGHTER IN KINDERGARTEN TRIED TO SEND HOME VALENTINE'S THAT SIMPLY SAID. A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO LOVES AT ALL TIMES, AND WE PUT THE SCRIPTURE VERSE AND A NOTE HAD TO GO HOME WITH IT, SAYING IT WASN'T THE THINKING OF THE SCHOOLS, SO WE ARE ALREADY CENSORING PEOPLE WITHOUT A BAN. 
          IT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S BRAND NEW. NOW WE'RE ASKING THAT ARE WE PROTECT OUR CHILDREN THAT THEY NOT BE SEEN ON THEIR RACE. RIGHT? SO MY KID WAS TOLD LAST YEAR FOR A BAD FOR SKIN COLOR. 
          AND JUST TODAY, MY STUDENTS, MY CHILDREN LEARNED THAT 20% OF THEIR DAD'S HISTORY IS FROM WEST AFRICA. HE IS NIGERIAN AND NOW I HAVE TO PLEASE HELP THEM. UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT AND C R T IS NOT GOING TO REMARKS. JULIE KLINKENBERG. JULIE KLINKENBERG. I OPPOSE THE BAN. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART. MOST MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WANT FREEDOM TO LEARN WITHOUT CENSORSHIP. I BELIEVE MOST OF US WANT TO BAN ON WITHOUT A BAN ON SOMETHING THAT ISN'T EVEN BEING TAUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I AM A 20 YEAR. YORBA LINDA RESIDENT. I AM THE PROUD MOM OF 3% YEAR, BELINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL GRADUATES. MY SONS ARE SAFE. THEY RECEIVED EQUALITY, WELL ROUNDED, INCLUSIVE EDUCATION WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY, THEY LEARNED WHAT IT MEANS TO BE DIVERSE, RESPECTFUL, FAIR, ACCURATE LOVE. UM TO OUR COLLEGE GRADS, AND THEY HAD A P CREDIT THAT THEY LEARNED THAT THEY EARNED AT YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL. I'M I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO OUR FUTURE. I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO HAVE TO, UM, NOT GET THAT OPPORTUNITY YOU AS BOARD TRUSTEES ARE HERE TO REPRESENT ALL OF THE RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS. EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU OR THINK LIKE YOU. AND WHOEVER SAID IT EARLIER. I'M WITH YOU. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF US OUR FRIENDS, OUR NEIGHBORS HERE. I BELIEVE THAT, UM. ALL RIGHT. JUST JOSEPHINE. JOSEPHINE KIM IS NEXT AFTER JOSEPHINE. IT WILL BE YANA CNO BRIA SHAW. SHERRY, PAL ICKY AND SARAH CLARK. EVERYBODY COULD YOU PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN WHILE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING SO THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM THE PODIUM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JOSEPH INCAN. AS A STUDENT, WHILE HS. I THINK ALL EDUCATION STARTS FROM A FOUNDATION, FOR INSTANCE, YOU CANNOT DO CALCULUS WITHOUT FIRST KNOWING HOW TO ADD, AND YOU CANNOT TRULY UNDERSTAND THE US WITHOUT KNOWING THE TRUTH OF OUR HISTORY YET HOW CAN WE STAND HERE TODAY AND ARGUE ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD TEACH THE TRUTH OF OUR COUNTRY? BENNY SIEROTY WOULD MEAN WE TAKE AWAY KNOWLEDGE FROM THE FUTURE OF OUR GENERATIONS. THE ONES WHO DIED FOR OUR FREEDOM TO LEARN. AND YET WE ARGUE, IF THIS MATERIAL IS TOO OFFENSIVE, BUT WHO SAID THIS WAS EASY, PEOPLE TIED, THEY SUFFERED AND CRIED, WHO SAID ANY OF THIS WAS EASY TO TEACH? BUT WE TEACH THIS SO WE DON'T REPEAT THE MISTAKES. SO THAT WE AREN'T IGNORANT. THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN DEBATE. THIS IS ABOUT THE EDUCATION. WE LEAVE FOR THE FUTURE. I WANT TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISCUSS IN SCHOOLS ABOUT EVERY PART OF THIS NATION. IF WE PASS THIS PAN, WE THROW AWAY THE FUNDAMENTALS AND THE SUBJECTS THAT BROUGHT US HERE. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE SCORE THAT BUILT THE US THAT BUILT THIS NATION. LET'S STOP THE BAND OF SIERRA T. THANK YOU. YANA. HELLO. MY NAME IS YANA. SAY NO AND 10 DAYS AGO, MY SON, WHO IS A FRESHMAN HIGH SCHOOL WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN AP CLASS FOR THIS COMING YEAR. HE GOT SKIP THAT CLASS GOT DROPPED, SO HE NO LONGER CAN TAKE A P HISTORY AND I FEEL THAT REMOVING AP CLASSES ARE STUDENTS ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE TO COMPETE FOR A HIGHER GPA TO ENTER INTO A BETTER COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY. WE MOVED TO YOUR BELINDA FOR THE ROBUST EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT PEOPLE TELL US D OFFERS. HOW CAN WE PRIDE OURSELVES? IF THESE PERTINENT AP CLASSES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE? GROWING UP. I HAD A HISTORY TEACHER ONCE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN THE US AND VERY MY FATHER IN LAW COULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO TELL YOU THAT THAT WAS A BLATANT LIE. HE WAS BORN IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP. SO I REALLY JUST WANT FOR US TO LEARN FROM THESE PAST THE PAST EXPERIENCES AND BUILD AND REBUILD SO THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN BE BETTER AND SO THEY CAN BOND PRETTY SURE. THERE'S A GENTLEMAN 
          [00:50:07]
WHO DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BLUE CARD. CAN I TRADE MY TIME FOR HIM? NO. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT I'LL BE SENDING VIDEOS OF WHEN OTHER SPEAKERS WERE ALLOWED AFTER THE PUBLIC COMMENTS STARTED. TRUSTEE ANDERSON. I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN TEACH RACE EVEN IF THIS RESOLUTION PASSES, HOWEVER, THE FACT IS THAT RACE AND RACISM WERE CONSTRUCTED TO BE SYSTEMIC. 
          RACISM WAS INITIALLY APPLIED TO THE U. S CONTEXT TO JUSTIFY SYSTEMS OF INDIGENOUS LAND EXPROPRIATION AND THE SLAVERY OF AFRICAN PEOPLES. THIS IS NOT AN OPINION, IT'S NOT A THEORY. IT'S HISTORICAL FACT. YOU CANNOT TEACH RACE IF YOU BAN THE CONCEPT OF SYSTEMIC RACISM. HOW WOULD YOU TEACH THE DECISION BY THE US GOVERNMENT TO INTERN JAPANESE AMERICANS TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ORDERED THE INTERNMENT OF JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS WAS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT . JUST A RACIST INDIVIDUAL WHO MADE A BAD DECISION. OF COURSE NOT. THE PRESIDENT WAS ADVISED BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO CAME FROM THE TRADITION OF IMMIGRATION POLICY THAT INCLUDED THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT AND THE REFUSAL OF JEWISH REFUGEES ATTEMPT ATTEMPTED TO EMIGRATE FROM GERMANY. RACE CONTINUES TO AFFECT IMMIGRATION POLICY. TODAY YOU CANNOT TEACH OUR FULL AMERICAN HISTORY IF YOU BAN THE CONCEPT OF SYSTEMIC RACISM. 
          THANKS. STORY, PELICAN. I THINK EVERYONE'S CONFUSED. WE'RE NOT TEACHING CRT. IT'S NOT IN OUR CURRICULUM RIGHT NOW. SO IT MAKES ME A LITTLE BIT SAD THAT THERE'S ALL THESE STUDENTS HERE AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S ALL THESE SCHOOL CLUBS RIGHT NOW. YOU GUYS ARE OFFERING COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS TO COME TO THIS MEETING AND COME GO AGAINST THE CRT BAND. YOU GUYS WERE NOT YOUR VOICES DOWN TEACHING. CRT AND THE OTHER LIGHT IS THE AP THING. YOU'RE SPEWING ALL THESE LIES THESE POOR KIDS ABOUT NOW THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET THEIR AP CLASSES. LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO BE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING. GO AHEAD, WHISPER AWAY. 
          YEAH PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES. SO ONE STUDENT STOOD UP AND SAID, AND ACTUALLY MADE FUN OF OUR WHITE SCHOOL BOARD. THAT WAS THAT'S CHARMING. ANOTHER STUDENT, SAID. CRT DOESN'T TEACH , HATE OUR COUNTRY AND HATE IN OUR COUNTRY TO HATE OUR COUNTRY. BUT YET MOST OF THE STUDENTS SAT DURING THE PLEDGE. YEAH. CLEARLY WE NEED TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT CRT TEACHES HATE AND IT'S DIVISIVE, AND IT HAS A QUICK MARCH THROUGH 12. THANK YOU, SARAH. AND AFTER SARAH, WE HAVE BROOKE RICKEL FLESH IN ER AND LISA WOODS. HI I'M SARAH CLARK AND I SUPPORTED THE BAN OF CRT, AND I REALLY SAD TO SEE THAT IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF UNDER MISUNDERSTANDING AND A LOT OF CONFUSION GOING ON. I KNOW THAT WE ALL? UM NOBODY HERE WANTS RACISM. NOBODY WANTS TO TEACH THAT WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO LEARN FROM OUR PAST. WE WANT TO LEARN AND MAKE THINGS BETTER AND GROW AND MAKE JUST DO BETTER. FROM WHAT WE WERE WORST HAPPENED IN OUR PAST AND WE CAN DO THAT. BUT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT WE'RE TEACHING MY DAUGHTER IN SIXTH GRADE. 
          SHE'S 11 YEARS OLD, CAME HOME AND WAS FELT LIKE SHE WAS WRONG FOR CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING. 
          AND LITTLE DIDN'T KNOW THAT HER LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER WHO MADE HER FEEL THAT WAY. KNOWS THAT WE HAVE NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTRY, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE. WE DO NOT NEED TO DIVIDE. WE CAN'T LET THE PENDULUM SWING TOO FAR TO THE SIDE WHERE WE ARE TEACHING RACISM WHEN WE NEED TO BE BONDING. CORRECT OK? MY NAME IS BROOKE H. AND I OPPOSE THE BAN ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY. IN 1996 , THE FAR RIGHT ACTIVISTS SAID THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE 1000 SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAN ONE PRESIDENT, AND WE ARE SEEING THAT IN ACTION. CHRISTOPHER ROOF . OH, AND PEOPLE LIKE TRUSTEE BLADES HAVE REDEFINED ANYTHING THAT FOCUSES ON ENGAGING STUDENTS OF COLOR AS CRITICAL RACE THEORY, INCLUDING SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, BECAUSE UNDERMINING A MULTI RACIAL DEMOCRACY IS ALL THIS BAN IS ABOUT. THIS DISTRICT IS 64% PEOPLE OF COLOR. THERE ARE DOZENS OF ANTI DISCRIMINATION AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM POLICIES THAT ALREADY PROTECT OUR STUDENTS, INCLUDING THE CONSERVATIVE ONES. HERE ARE SOME OTHER QUOTES. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. 
          IF MY KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE RACISM THAN YOUR KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH TO LEARN ABOUT IT. YOU CANNOT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR WHILE ACCEPTING LESS FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY THAN YOU DO FOR YOUR OWN. BANNING THE TEACHING OF SYSTEMIC RACISM IS ACTUALLY A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SYSTEMIC 
          [00:55:01]
RACISM AND YOU ARE TO COMMUNITY LEADER IF YOU HURT YOUR COMMUNITY. AND LASTLY, WE HAVE LISA. DID WE GET RACHAEL? I'M SORRY, RACHAEL. SORRY ABOUT THAT. AND THEN HE SAID HIS NEXTN AND RETAIN QUALITY TEACHERS BECAUSE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PROVIDING A QUALITY EDUCATION IS HAVING AN EFFECTIVE TEACHER. THIS BOARD CONSISTS OF FIVE MEMBERS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE SPENT A SINGLE SECOND WORKING AS A CERTIFIED K THROUGH 12, CLASSROOM TEACHER AND YET HERE YOU ARE WASTING YET ANOTHER HOUR , TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BAN SOMETHING YOU CANNOT EVEN DEFINE FROM A CURRICULUM. YOU AREN'T EVEN QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW TO TEACH. DID ANYONE ON THIS BOARD EVEN BOTHERED A POLL A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ABOUT THIS BAN. NO NEED THERE RIGHT HERE. IF YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN THIS DISTRICT, YOU SHOULD SPEND THIS TIME FIGURING OUT HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT ARE OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID TEACHERS INSTEAD OF BURDENING THEM WITH THE TASK OF FIGURING OUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE TEACHING CRT. I'M A PARENT AND A TEACHER, AND I OPPOSE THE CRT BAN. AND LAST WE HAVE LISA. LISA WOODS. HI. MY NAME IS LISA WOODS. I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF YOUR BELINDA . I'M NOT HERE ACTUALLY SPEAK ON MY BEHALF BECAUSE THIS WOULD TAKE AWAY TOO LONG TO GET INTO. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF A STUDENT WHO CAN'T BE HERE TODAY. HELLO I'M A P FRESHMAN STUDENT AT YOUR BORN INTO HIGH SCHOOL. I READ THE COLLEGE BOARD'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE DESIGNATION. MY CONCERN IS IF YOU GUYS PASSED THE CRT BAND AND SENSOR SLASH TAKE AWAY WHAT WE CAN LEARN. MANY AP CLASSES THAT I AM PLANNING TO TAKE WOULD BE AFFECTED AND AP DESIGNATION WOULD BE DROPPED. AP COURSES WILL ENHANCE MY OVERALL GPA TO MAKE ME A MORE COMPETITIVE CANDIDATE FOR UNIVERSITIES THAT I'M HOPING TO APPLY TO, SUCH AS NORTHWESTERN. AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE UC SYSTEM IS MOVING TO A GPA BASED ADMISSION. WHILE DROPPING US 80 REQUIREMENT. THIS MEANS IF I CAN'T TAKE THESE CLASSES BY OVERALL GPA WOULD DROP SIGNIFICANTLY. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THIS. THE AVERAGE GPS INCOMING STUDENTS AT U C L A IS 4.3. AND CALLOUS 4.6, MY ACADEMIC WEIGHTED GPA RIGHT NOW IT'S 4.71 BECAUSE I HAVE ALL A'S AND I'M TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE, AS ISA STUDENTS CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS TO GET TO CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. SORRY. OKAY. I OPPOSE THE BAN ON CRT. 
          OKAY, THAT CONCLUDES OUR REMARKS , AND IT'S 55. OH, THREE. WE'RE GOING TO OKAY AND IN THE OUR LAST NOTES THAT MRS ANDERSON PASSED OUT, IT'S AT OUR RACE. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU TYPED AS WELL? I TYPED FROM THE NOTES. SO ON MY NOTES, I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AND IT SAYS ONE RACE. SO WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING THAT SWITCHED THAT NIGHT, BUT IT SAID ONE AND ON MY NOTES THAT I TOOK HOME SO I ASSUME THAT I MADE THAT TYPE OF THEN SO WE CAN ADDRESS IT THEN LATER, I JUST WANTED UPFRONT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I THOUGHT THAT THAT I HAD MADE IT, TYPO AND WE'RE ON. NUMBER 13 B SECOND. YEAH. ONE RACE. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO WOULD YOU 
          [STUDY SESSION/BOARD WORKSHOP]
LIKE TO START WITH THE TITLE? I THINK IF WE'RE STARTING AT THE TOP, WE SHOULD START AT THE TOP. 
          DO YOU WANT ME TO? DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION? UM OKAY. IN MY NOTES , I PUT IN THAT I LIKE THE SECOND TITLE BETTER, BUT, UM BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SITTING AROUND A LOT LATELY. I WAS GOING TO REVIEWING EVERYTHING. AND, ACTUALLY, UM. THOUGHT OF A NEW TITLE. AND SO I MADE NOTES. ON A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, AND I LIKE TO PASS THEM AROUND TO EVERYBODY. 
          SO I LIKE RESOLUTE THE SECOND RESOLUTION, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO INSERT UM, WHERE IT SAYS RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING DISTRICT TEACHINGS CRITIC. THIS IS THE PART THAT WE INSERT CRITICAL 
          [01:00:01]
RACE THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK ON MATTERS RELATING TO RACE. MAY I ASK A QUESTION? SURE SO THAT THAT'S YOU DISTRIBUTED. SO ON YOUR ALTERNATE TITLE. ARE YOU SAYING THAT WHAT I SEE. HERE IS YOUR SUGGESTION FOR CHANGE. THE ONE THE NOTES THAT JUST PASSED AROUND. YES, YES, SO THAT WOULD BE INSERTING OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A AND I DID THE DOUBLE LINES YOU CAN TELL. JUST WANT TO BE SURE. OUT THAT CORRECT. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. I'M TRYING TO LEARN ALL OF THE PROPER FORMATTING FOR SCHOOL BOARD. THAT THING IS APPROPRIATE AS WELL. OKAY I WANT TO MENTION SO THE TITLE RESOLUTION CONCERNING DISTRICT TEACHING DISTRICT TEACHING OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK ON MATTERS RELATING TO RACE. DO YOU WANT TO FEED BACK AT THIS TIME? YES, PLEASE. I WOULD DISAGREE WITH THE TITLE. I'LL JUST STAY THAT AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU. I WOULD ALSO WILL DISAGREE WITH THE TITLE. DO YOU GUYS HAVE AN ALTERNATE? NO. COME I AGREE AT THE TITLE. LOOKING LIKE IT'S THREE. WE'LL MOVE ON WITH THAT TITLE. OKAY, NUMBER ONE. UM WE HAD SOME FUZZY SIGNAL ON HERE, TOO. WHERE YOU ABLE TO TELL WE'RE WORKING ON THAT STILL HERE, BUT THEY ARE HEARING ABOVE. OKAY? IT SEEMS TO BE FIXED. OKAY WE DID HEAR SOME THAT THE IT WAS A LITTLE FUZZY FEED AND THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED, SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW. OKAY, SO NUMBER ONE OUR FIRST WHEREAS ANYBODY HAVE ANY CHANGES? SEEING NONE. OKAY, MOVING ON NUMBER TWO. GOOD. SORRY. SORRY. UM MAYBE AS WE GO THROUGH THESE FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE BENEFIT, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US TO READ THOSE FIRST. WHEREAS IS ALL STUDENTS DESERVE A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCES AND THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND WHEREAS NUMBER TWO NOTHING IN THIS RESOLUTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO RESTRICT ACADEMIC FREEDOM OR STUDENTS SPEECH. AND NUMBER. THREE WHEREAS NOTHING IN THIS RESOLUTION SHALL REQUIRE ANY STAFF MEMBER TO VIOLATE LOCAL STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, AS WELL AS THE CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE. I HAVE A QUESTION? SURE. ALTHOUGH IT SAYS WE WOULDN'T REQUIRE THAT HOW DO WE DETERMINE IF THAT'S OCCURRED? IF THERE'S BEEN A VIOLATION. IT SEEMS TO ME IT'S INHERENT, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. SHOULD I LOOK FOR IT LATER IN THE RESOLUTION TO EXPLAIN HOW THAT COMES ABOUT AS IT STANDS, I WOULD AGREE WITH IT, BUT IT BEGS THAT QUESTION. 
          OF. WHO DETERMINES IF THERE IS ANY VIOLATION. AND ANY CONSEQUENCES SO PERHAPS LATER IN THE AGENDA, BUT I'LL JUST PUT THAT OUT. THERE IS A QUESTION THEY HAVE ABOUT THAT. TRUSTEE FREEMAN. HOW DOES IT HOW DOES IT WORK NOW? IF THINGS GET TAUGHT THAT ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TAUGHT, OR THERE'S ANY VIOLATIONS TODAY, THESE CODES HOW DOES IT HAPPEN NOW? I WOULD EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN THE SAME AND I WON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS ON THAT. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THERE'S TWO THINGS TO CONSIDER. ONE WOULD BE THOSE OBSERVATIONS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF STAFF. BUT ALSO WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC. AND OUR PARENTS SECTOR AND THEY HAVE THEIR VOICES, TOO. SO AGAIN, I'LL I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S CORRECT. I WOULD THINK I WOULD THINK THE SAME THING WOULD APPLY. AND I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD ALL BE REFERRED BACK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WORK THROUGH. ANY TIME THERE'S A CONCERN BROUGHT FORWARD ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S TAUGHT IN A CLASSROOM TYPICALLY STARTS BY THE PERSON BRINGING IT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S ATTENTION, WHO THEN LOOKS INTO IT. AND HANDLES IT AT THE SITE LEVEL. IF IT ISN'T 
          [01:05:02]
HANDLED. TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE PERSON THAT'S CONCERNED THEY WOULD THEN TAKE IT TO DR ADAMS AND OUT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. IT DOES SAY LOCAL LAW WOULD THAT INCLUDE OUR POLICIES, OUR BYLAWS? I WOULD THINK LOCAL WOULD REFER TO OUR BOARD BYLAWS BOARD POLICY. SO I'M AFRAID YOUR VOICE DOWN JUMPING IN HERE AND I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME. NO I'M LOOKING AT ANYWAY. BUT I NEED TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE INTENT BEHIND THE RESOLUTION IS WHAT THE ULTIMATE GOALS WILL BE IN TERMS OF WILL THIS HOW WILL BE ENFORCED OR WHAT'S THE BOARD'S VISION FOR HOW IT'S BEING ENFORCED? BEFORE I CAN HAVE A BETTER WAY TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY SO THAT BROUGHT UP JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT WE'LL TRY TO FLUSH THROUGH LATER. OKAY SO MOVING ON. NUMBER FOUR. WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION, AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT AND EXPECTATION THAT TEACHERS WILL RELY ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTED CURRICULUM AS THEY AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE FOR THE CONTENT OF INSTRUCTION AND PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION AND. SO AGAIN, THAT'S BEST. YEAH CURRICULUM THAT MY ONLY QUESTION IS. DO YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH IT? ARE WE GOING THROUGH IT LINE BY LINE BECAUSE I HAVE A COUPLE INSERTS FOR THAT SECTION THAT I PUT IN MY NOTES. 
          DO YOU WANT TO DO THE INSERTS NOW OR DO YOU WANT TO WAIT? LET'S GO IN ORDER. SO IF YOU HAVE AN INSERT, LET'S PUT IT IN ORDER, OKAY? JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OKAY, SO ON AFTER PARAGRAPH NUMBER THREE. ON THE NOTES. YOU'LL SEE THAT I HAVE TO WHEREAS IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IN AND THE FIRST ONE IS, WHEREAS THIS RESOLUTION HAS TO DO WITH HOW TOPICS OF RACE IS THIS ON THE NEW ON YOUR NEW OLD ONE IS THE VERY FIRST THING. DID EVERYBODY GET COPIES? OKAY? SO WHEREAS THIS RESOLUTION HAS TO DO WITH HOW TOPICS OF RACE WILL BE TAUGHT IN THE DISTRICT, NOT WHAT TOPICS WILL BE TAUGHT AND WHEREAS CRITICAL RACE THEORY OR OTHER SIMILAR FRAMEWORKS WILL NOT BE USED AS A SOURCE TO GUIDE HOW TOPICS RELATED TO RACE WILL BE TAUGHT. SO LET'S JUST DISCUSS THOSE TWO AND THEN I HAVE ONE MORE IN MY NEW NOTES THAT I LIKE TO ADD THERE AS WELL. MAY I POSE THE QUESTION? YES PLEASE THE SECOND WHEREAS YOU HAVE HERE WHEN YOU SAY OTHER SIMILAR FRAMEWORKS. THAT'S PRETTY OPEN. SO WHAT MIGHT THOSE BE? WELL AS WE KNOW, DEFINITIONS CHANGE CONTINUALLY. AND SO IF THIS GETS REBRANDED. TO SOMETHING THAT. AS WE ARE GOING TO DEFINE. 
          HOPEFULLY THAT WE WILL HAVE A FIRM DEFINITION IS COVERED, THEN IT WOULD BE THE OTHER ONE. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I THINK IT'S TOO SUBJECTIVE JUST JUST INCLUDE OTHER FRAMEWORKS. I THINK IF THAT CHANGES, THEN WE WOULD BRING IT BACK. I DON'T LIKE THE ADDITION OF SIMILAR FRAMEWORKS. 
          I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING BECAUSE THINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE LANGUAGE. BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL SAME. SO I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOURS. ADDITIONS. UM LET ME EXPLORE THE FIRST OF YOUR WAREHOUSES, WHICH READS, WHEREAS THIS RESOLUTION HAS TO DO WITH HOW RACE HOW TOPICS OF RACE WILL BE TAUGHT IN THE DISTRICT, NOT WHAT TOPICS WILL BE TAUGHT CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND IN THIS? HOW YOU SEE HOW DIFFERENT FROM WHAT SURE. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS A THEORY OF LIKE, HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS. SO IT'S THE LENS OR THE VIEWPOINT OF HOW IT'S BEING TAUGHT NOT WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT. SO IF WE USE THESE EXAMPLES, YOU KNOW IN THE IN THE RESOLUTION. 
          AND I THINK I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT THE LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED. THIS RESOLUTION. SO, UM. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE AND I KNOW THIS WAS BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES TODAY IN PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THAT THE UNITED STATES IS FUNDAMENTALLY OR SYSTEMICALLY RACIST, WHICH MEANS THAT IT'S 
          [01:10:02]
RACIST FROM THE ROOT. AND I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRUCTURAL VERSUS SYSTEMIC. AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE GET CONFUSED. AND SO HOW YOU WOULD DISCUSS THIS, YOU WOULD SAY. WE'LL JUST TAKE SLAVERY, FOR EXAMPLE. SO SLAVERY. IS SYSTEMIC. TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE. IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. AND WE AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY MY TRUTH. IS THAT. OUR FOUNDERS WERE COMPLETELY CONFLICTED ABOUT SLAVERY. EVEN THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THOMAS JEFFERSON. RIGHT AND THERE'S STATING TO THE KING THAT HE HAS SUBJECTED THEM TO THIS SLAVERY. AND YOU KNOW, OF COURSE , BECAUSE THEY WANTED EVERYONE TO AGREE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THOSE WORDS WERE TAKEN OUT AND IT WAS CHANGED, BUT YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT HIS FIRST DRAFT. AND SO IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED FROM THE VERY CORE. OF RACISM. NOW DO WHERE THEIR STRUCTURAL RACIAL THINGS PUT INTO OUR DECLARATION. YES BUT IS THAT REALLY THE CORE? DID THE FOUNDING FATHERS GET TOGETHER AND DISCUSS HOW YOU KNOW, LIKE, OKAY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PUTTING ALL THE OTHER DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES DOWN AND OUR COUNTRY IS RACIST FROM THE VERY KICK UP. FROM THE VERY CORE, AND THAT I THINK IS WHAT WHERE IT IS DIFFERENT. SO YOU SAID HE HAD IN A DRAFT. SUMMIT SOMEONE KNOWLEDGE MINT OF THAT, BUT THAT IT WAS REMOVED. IT WAS REMOVED BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, OUR FOUNDING FATHERS GATHERED AND THEY WANTED EVERYONE 100% AGREEMENT, SO THEY HAD TO COME. UP TO 100% CONSENSUS BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO UNIFY. 
          PEOPLE WITH ALL DIFFERENT BELIEFS AND BACKGROUNDS. AND SO WHAT? SOME OF THEM BELIEVED IN WHAT'S THEY CAME INTO CONFLICT, AND I THINK YOU KNOW IF I REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM HISTORY IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE GREAT COMPROMISE. I HEAR THAT BUT WOULD NOT POSSIBLY INDICATE THAT THE FOUNDING DOCUMENT HAD THAT THEN IN IT THAT IT WAS IT WAS MINUS SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WAS A COMPROMISE. SO ANYWAY, I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. I APPRECIATE WELL, WHEN I GOT FROM YOUR WORDING WAS THIS RESOLUTION HAS TO DO WITH HOW TOPICS OF RACE WILL BE TAUGHT NOT WHAT TOPICS? AND SO IT IS HOW WE WANT. WE WON'T BE TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM OR WHITE PRIVILEGE, OR, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY DOING ANY RACE BLAME OR RACE BAITING. BUT IT'S NOT TO TELL. IT'S NEVER SAID THAT CERTAIN TOPICS WON'T BE TAUGHT CERTAIN TOPICS WHEN WE TAKEN AWAY. THAT'S HOW I UM, READ YOUR PARAGRAPH. THAT YOU'RE JUST SAY , SIMPLY SAYING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THE THINGS THAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY TEACHES. HOWEVER WE'RE NOT REMOVING ANY SUBJECTS THAT WE HAVE NOW. A P CLASSES, ANYTHING. WE'RE NOT REMOVING THAT FROM THE CLASSROOM. AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT I MEAN. I KNOW WHERE THE RUMOR IS AND WHERE IT STARTED, BUT, UM BUT THAT'S NOT. THAT'S NEVER BEEN THE INTENTION THIS BOARD AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID EVERY SINGLE SESSION. WE'RE NOT REMOVING TOPICS. WE'RE NOT REMOVING SUBJECTS. NOTHING WILL BE REMOVED. IT'S JUST THAT WE WILL NOT APPLY CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND PLAY A RACE BLAME GAME. CORRECT SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT SYSTEMIC RACISM DOESN'T EXIST? IN THE UNITED STATES NOW MM. DO YOU BELIEVE IT EXISTS? SYSTEM OF RACISM? I THINK THERE ARE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE RACIAL INEQUALITIES BUILT INTO THEM IN THE UNITED STATES. YES SO YOU BELIEVE IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY? NO YOU'RE PUTTING A YOU'RE PUTTING. NO, YOU'RE PUTTING CRITICAL RACE THEORY DEFINITION OVER TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM. I THINK THERE'S TO ME THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS. THERE'S UM LIKE I SAID, STRUCTURAL RACISM WHERE LAWS AND THINGS HAVE BEEN SET UP THAT ARE RACIST, BUT SYSTEMIC MEANS FROM THE ROOT SYSTEM MEANS IT'S WITHIN THE SYSTEM. FROM THE VERY CORE, AND I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE INTENTION OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. SYSTEMIC RACISM TO ME IS NOT AT THE FOUNDING CORE. IT'S THIS RACISM THAT'S WITHIN THE SYSTEMS THAT WE HAVE IN THE UNITED STATES. WELL, THERE SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF OPINIONS ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM. AND SO WE SHOULDN'T PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TEACH IT BECAUSE THERE IS SOME SO MANY OPINIONS. WE SHOULD JUST STICK TO THE HISTORICAL FACTS. THERE ARE FACTS. THAT SHOWS SYSTEMIC RACISM. REDLINING IS A FACT. SEGREGATION IN SCHOOLS IS A FACT. OKAY. WE'RE NOT NOT GOING 
          [01:15:08]
TO TEACH THAT. NOBODY IS SAYING , DO NOT TEACH THEM. DON'T YOU CAN TEACH ABOUT? YES, WE HAD SCHOOLS THAT WERE SEGREGATED. YES WE HAD LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPENING, BUT WE'RE NOT PLAYING IT, PLACING A BLAME GAME, WHICH WAS WHICH CRITICAL RACE THEORY. THAT'S IT HAPPENS, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. OKAY I'LL JUST READ, UM, DEFINITION OF SYSTEMIC. AND THIS IS FROM THE MERRIAN WEBSTER'S DEFINITION, AND IT SAYS ESSENTIAL MEANING OF SYSTEMIC. IS FORMAL. OF OUR RELATING TO AN ENTIRE SYSTEM. AND THEY USED THE EXAMPLE THE COMPANY MADE SOME SYSTEMIC CHANGES TO THE WAY IT OPERATES. SO IT'S THE ENTIRETY AND I DON'T BELIEVE OUR COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. WAS BASED ON SYSTEMIC RACIST. THAT'S WHY I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRUCTURAL AND SYSTEMIC. YOU JUST DESCRIBED A STRUCTURE. SO CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT WHAT STRUCTURAL RACISM IS VERSUS SYSTEMIC. OKAY I DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION FROM THE PARENTS. I HAVE. I HAVE SOMETHING SO BEFORE WE GO ON, THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT. IS THIS BREXIT GUIDE AGAINST CRITICAL RACE THEORY THAT'S PUT OUT BY, UM AH, CANDACE OWENS WEBSITE. UM. WHO ALSO DOING BUT IF YOU WANT TO PULL OUT CANDICE OWENS WE CAN CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS A WORLDVIEW OF FRAMEWORK THAT PROPOSES THAT ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE MUST BE EXPLAINED IN TERMS OF RACIAL IDENTITIES. CRITICAL RACE THEORY COMBINES PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL STRUGGLES FOR RACIAL JUSTICE WITH CRITIQUES, A CONVENTIONAL LEGAL AND SCHOLARLY NORMS, WHICH ARE THEMSELVES PART OF ILLEGITIMATE. HIERARCHIES THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED. IN OTHER WORDS, CRITICAL RACE SERIES, PUTTING ON COLOR LENS AT ALL TIMES AND LOOKING AT ALL AREAS OF AMERICAN LIFE, POLITICAL, LEGAL AND EDUCATIONAL THROUGH THE LENS OF RACE WITH THE INTENT TO DISMANTLE SYSTEMS THAT ARE DEEMED WHITE SUPREMACISTS. IN THE WORDS OF KIMBERLY CRENSHAW, FOUNDING CRITICAL RACE THEORISTS AND LAW PROFESSOR WHO TEACHES AT U C. L. 
          A AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS A PRACTICE. IT'S AN APPROACH TO GRAPPLING WITH THE HISTORY OF WHITE SUPREMACY THAT REJECTS THE BELIEF THAT WHAT'S IN THE PAST IS IN THE PAST AND THAT THE LAWS AND SYSTEMS THAT GROW FROM THE PAST ARE DETACHED FROM IT. 
          CRITICAL RACE SERIOUS, NOT ONLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR EXPERIENCE RACISM DAILY, BUT ALSO THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN SOCIETY OR, MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHITE PEOPLE HAVE NO INTEREST IN STOPPING THIS SO CALLED OPPRESSION BECAUSE IT BENEFITS WHITE AMERICANS. THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT VIRTUALLY ALL INSTITUTIONS IN AMERICA ARE RACIST AND THAT PEOPLE ARE PRIVILEGED, REPRESSED BASED ON THEIR RACE. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS ALSO POST THE IDEA OF COLORBLINDNESS. MANY OF US ARE TAUGHT WHEN WE'RE YOUNG NOT TO FOCUS ON THE COLOR OF PEOPLE'S SKINNED BUT RATHER ON THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER. CRT ARGUES THAT THIS APPROACH IS ACTUALLY DAMAGING TO SOCIETY AND CREATES MORE RACISM RATHER THAN REDUCING IT. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT SIMPLY TEACHING THE DARK SIDE OF AMERICAN HISTORY, AS MANY ARE LED TO BELIEVE THOSE THAT ARE UPSET ABOUT PROPOSED BANS ON CRT IN OUR SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN MISLED TO THINK THAT THE STATES THAT HAVE BANNED CRT FROM BEING TAUGHT WILL NO LONGER TEACH ABOUT JIM CROW LAWS. THE DISPLACEMENT OF NATIVE AMERICANS OR EVEN SLAVERY IN AMERICA. THIS IS NOT TRUE. 
          CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT THE TEACHING OF HEART HISTORY, AND THE BANNING OF THE THEORY WILL NOT STOP THE TEACHING OF THESE EVENTS, CRTS AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY AND IDEOLOGY THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER FACTS AND CHERRY PICK PIECES OF HISTORY THAT FIT THE NARRATIVE WHILE IGNORING OR EVEN ALTERING HISTORY THAT DOES NOT THE IDEA THAT BANNING CRT WILL ONLY ALLOW FOR A WHITEWASHED VERSION OF HISTORY IS MISINFORMATION. ON THE CONTRARY, BANNING CRT WILL REMOVE A DANGEROUS SWISS TING AND REWRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY. SO IF I COULD POINT OUT THIS IS WRITTEN BY, UM NOT ANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT, UM THAT WROTE CRITICAL RACE THEORY. 
          THERE WAS ONE TWO QUOTES IN THAT WHOLE STATEMENT. THE REST OF IT IS OPINION AND ITS OPINION FROM A WOMAN NAMED CALLIE FONTANA. UM THE AUTHOR OF THIS GUIDE. SHE HAS BEEN A TEACHER IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. BUT AS UM THIS HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE BIG, UM, THE BLOCKS IT WEBSITE, SO IT'S NOT OTHER THAN THAT ONE QUOTE FROM KIMBERLY CRENSHAW. THE REST OF IT IS THIS PERSON'S OPINION. 
          JUST LIKE IT WAS YOUR OPINION THAT IT'S SYSTEMATIC RACISM. IT'S PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. AND SO WE SHOULD STICK. NO, THEY'VE ACTUALLY HAVE. PROOF OF SYSTEMS THAT HAVE RACISM WITHIN THEM. 
          IT'S A THEORY. THEORY. PERFECT OKAY. ARE WE GOOD? OKAY TO CLEAR THE ROOM AT SOME POINT. YEAH, WE NEED EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE TO PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN AND JUST LISTEN. YEAH MAYBE THAT DOES MEAN MAYBE THE SNAPPING IS JUST EVERYTHING SHOULD STOP. SO ARE WE GOING WITH THREE UPDATED ? SO WHAT? WHAT IS IT ALWAYS STAYING WITH THREE AND WE'RE GOING TO UPDATE THE CHANGES. 
          [01:20:02]
WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE THOUGHT? HERE I AGREE WITH MARYLAND'S TWO EDITIONS TO PARAGRAPH THREE. 
          THAT'S WHAT FOLLOW HIS SEPARATE WEAR ASSES. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT OK, SO THEY WOULD BE NEW NUMBERS ULTIMATELY, ULTIMATELY, THANK YOU. OKAY? DO WE NEED TO RUN ANY OF THE NEW ITEMS PACK? ANY CONCERN. TODD YOU HAVE ANY CONCERN ON THE TWO ADDITIONAL. I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK AT THIS LINE BY LINE LIKE THAT. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT AS A WHOLE DOCUMENT FIRST, OKAY? OKAY, MOVING ON NUMBER FOUR. WHEREAS THE PLACENTA OR BLENDER UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT AND EXPECTATION THAT TEACHERS WILL WRITE RELY ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTED CURRICULUM AS THE AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE FOR THE CONTENT OF INSTRUCTION TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION. NOTES. CHANGES. UM. I GUESS I'D ASK WHAT CONSTITUTES A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE DO? DEFINE OR ADDRESSING THAT I'M JUST ASKING. IT'S. NORMALLY I THINK ABOUT IT IS I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. BUT NOBODY'S I START TO LOOK AT THINGS AND BEGAN TO ASK IF THERE'S ANY OTHER MEANING TO COMPREHENSIVE. 
          ANY COMMENT. OTHERWISE I'LL TAKE IT THAT IT MEANS WHAT I HAVE HISTORICALLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN THE DAY IN WHICH IT SEEMS, DEFINITIONS ARE BEING CHANGED DAILY. 
          COMPREHENSIVE MAY MEAN SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT USED TO BE 5 10 YEARS AGO AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT NOW, SO MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CLARIFICATION ON COMPREHENSIVE. THIS IS THE BOARD'S RESOLUTION, SO I WOULD NEED TO KNOW FROM THE BOARD. WHAT YOU ENVISION THE COMPREHENSIVE WOULD COVER I DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED TO DEFINE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE PROVED THE CURRICULUM. AND YOU KNOW, AND WE. SO WHAT IS APPROVED IS, I WOULD SAY A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION. I MEAN, I AGREE, AND I THINK WE'RE LIKE, REALLY STARTING TO NIT PICK. UM, MONEY, THE WATERS A LITTLE BIT. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WE APPROVE ALL CURRICULUM, SO THIS IS SORT OF GOING BEYOND WHAT WE ALREADY DO . ANYWAY OKAY. SINCE WE APPROVE ALL CURRICULUM, THEN I'M FINE WITH THIS LINE. OKAY, NUMBER FIVE. WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT VALUES ALL STUDENTS AND PROMOTES EQUITY AND EQUALITY, RESPECTS, DIVERSITY CELEBRATES THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND ENCOURAGES CULTURALLY RELEVANT AND INCLUSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES . THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FURTHER BELIEVES THAT THE DIVERSITY THAT EXISTS AMONG THE DISTRICTS COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS, STAFF PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IS AN ASSET. TO BE HONORED AND VALUED. I AGREE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM. NUMBER SIX, WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CONDEMNS RACISM , A PREJUDGED ATTITUDE AND DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOR AGAINST INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS ON THE GROUNDS OF RACE. AND WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM AND RACIST CONDUCT. P Y EL USD BOARD RESOLUTION 44 OR 24, JULY 7 2020. I LIKE THAT PARTICULAR ONE. HOWEVER, I WONDERED. UPON ONE OF MY MULTIPLE READINGS OF IT. IF IT WOULD BE OF VALUE TO ADD. AH WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM , RACIST CONDUCT BIGOTRY OR ANYTHING THAT CONSTITUTES HATE ACTIVITIES. I LIKE THAT. COULD YOU REPEAT REPEATED CHECK AND WRITE IT? UM WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM, COMMA. RACIST CONDUCT, COMMA, BIGOTRY, COMMA OR ANYTHING THAT CONSTITUTES HATE ACTIVITIES AND THAT'S DEFINED BY LAW. AND I KNOW WE HAVE THAT IN OUR BELIEVER ED CODE AND SO FORTH, BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE OUR EXPULSIONS AND OTHER THINGS, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE IN IN, UM IN CODE AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES THAT. MRS FREEMAN. YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN BECAUSE I'M A LEFTY. AND NOW I'VE HAD MR GIORDANO V. MY SCRIBE. OKAY ONE MORE TIME. SURE OKAY, SO THAT'S AGAIN. IT'S ITEMS SIX, AND IT'S KIND OF IN THE MID PART THERE. SO AND WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM, COMMA, RACIST CONDUCT COMMA. BIGOTRY, COMMA. OR ANYTHING THAT CONSTITUTES HATE ACTIVITIES. I'M 
          [01:25:09]
NOT SURE IF ACTIVITIES WAS THE BEST WHERE IT IS. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT SHOULD BE ACTS OR ACTIVITIES, BUT NICE. SO JUST TO SUGGESTION ED CODE SECTION 2 20 MAKES REFERENCE TO HATE CRIMES AS DEFINED BY PENAL CODE SECTION 4 22.55. UM IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE HERE, IT'S PROBABLY MORE ACCURATE TO CALL THEM HATE CRIMES. HATE CRIMES. THANK YOU. IS THAT ALSO IN THE RESOLUTION 20 BEFORE AS WELL. I DON'T. I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS. I DON'T THINK I BROUGHT A COPY OF THAT POLICE. NO I DON'T THINK I BROUGHT THAT. BUT THAT'S A GOOD POINT. SO COULD WE LOOK THAT UP ON THE WEBSITE REAL QUICK? AND SEE WHAT THE LANGUAGE IS BECAUSE THEY WERE QUOTING IT COMES FROM THAT THE RESOLUTION THAT I THINK WE SHOULD USE THE SAME WORDING. WELL THEN PERHAPS WE MIGHT ALSO WANT TO ADD ANOTHER WHERE ASKED TO ADDRESS THAT. MS GRIP AS CAN YOU DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT RESOLUTION ONLINE? WE'RE LOOKING NOW. OKAY? POSED TO DATE. JULY 7 2020 MHM. ON AT THE AGENDA, BUT I THINK I NEED TO FIND THE MINUTES IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE UNDER BOARD RESOLUTIONS, AND THEN THAT YEAR IT SHOULD COME UP. 
          I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT COVERS. THE NEW EDITIONS. OKAY, BUT HER IN THAT RESOLUTION. 
          WOULD YOU SUGGEST WE ADD THAT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE HAD ANOTHER, WHEREAS THAT COULD EXPLAIN MORE SPECIFICALLY OR OR ADD IF YOU WILL. DO YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE END OF THAT SENTENCE OR DO A WHOLE ANOTHER? WELL, I THINK THE POINT HAS BEEN MADE IS THAT SINCE THIS REFERENCES SPECIFICALLY THE JULY 7TH 2020 RESOLUTION. THAT TO KEEP IT CLEANER AND A PHRASE THAT PERHAPS TO DO SEPARATE FROM THIS MIGHT BE THE BETTER WAY TO GO. AGAIN. I DEFER TO THOSE WHO ARE MORE SKILLED IN THE PREPARATION OF. SO ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE KEEP PARAGRAPHS? SIX INTACT, AS IS AND THEN ADD A NEW AIRCRAFT. SEVEN. RIGHT? IT'S BASICALLY THE NEW WORDING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD IS I'M SORRY. IS IT JUST HATE CRIMES. I MEAN, I KNOW THERE'S SOME, IT'S DO YOU HAVE NOT TOLERATE RACISM, COMMA AND THEN THE RACIST CONDUCT, AND I WAS LOOKING MORE AT SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT CONSTANT WHAT? CONDUCT MIGHT BE MIGHT INCLUDE IT COULD BE BIGOTRY IN TERMS OF HOW YOU SPEAK TO PEOPLE. DO SIGNS OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING THAT'S BIGOTED. MM HMM. BUT ALSO SOMETHING THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE AN ACTION. I HATE CRIME. SO CAN WE JUST PUT A COMMA AFTER THE RACIST CONDUCT AND SAVE IT BIGOTRY AND THEN ANYTHING THAT CONSTITUTE HATES CRIMES? I'M FINE IF THERE'S A WAY TO WORK THAT IN, BUT I DON'T AS WAS MENTIONED AS I LOOK AT THE PARENTHETICAL, IT SEEMS MORE TO BE JUST CROSS REFERENCE TO SAY THAT THE BOARD'S ALREADY MADE A STATEMENT ON THIS SO WELL, WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING ISN'T NECESSARILY IN THERE. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY INCONSISTENT WITH IT, EITHER. SO IT'S UP TO THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD WHETHER TO ADD IT THERE OR NOT. OKAY WELL, I'LL DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUES. SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING WE COULD LEAVE IT AND INCLUDED IN PARIS AT THE CURRENT PARAGRAPH SIX. YEAH IT'S JUST NOT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED IN THAT IN THAT RESOLUTION, BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THIS WHEREAS AS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM THAT RESOLUTION, EITHER. THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING IF YOU WANT TO ADD IT AND JUST CROSS REFERENCE THE BOARD'S POLICY STATEMENT FROM JULY 7TH 2020, THAT'S FINE, TOO. SO WE COULD KEEP PARAGRAPHS 
          [01:30:04]
SIX AS ISN'T GOING DOWN TO THE END OF THE SECONDS LINE, IT SAYS, AND WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM. RACIST CONDUCT BIGOTRY OR ANYTHING THAT CONSTITUTES HATE CRIMES AND THEN PARENTHESES. BE WELL. USDA BOARD OF IT RIGHT. YOU COULD PUT THE RESOLUTION NUMBER OF THE ED CODE AND THE CODE REFERENCE ED CODE AND PENAL CODE. NEXT TO IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR. I THINK MY GOAL WAS THAT, UM, THIS OCCURRED OBVIOUSLY SOME TIME AGO THAT WE DID TAKE A POSITION ON RACISM AND SO FORTH IN THE DISTRICT. UM, I THOUGHT THAT BY ADDING A LITTLE BIT MORE TO IT. DOESN'T MAKE IT SUCH A GETS A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC. SOMETIMES PEOPLE SAY, OH, I'M NOT RACIST, BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETIMES BEHAVIORS AND ACTIONS AND YOU SAY WELL, THINK AGAIN. MAYBE YOU ARE. OR MAYBE THAT WAS SO I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT GAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SUBSTANCE TO IT. BUT I WANTED TO REFERENCE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TALKED OF THIS. IN PRIOR YEARS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS CONDEMNING RACISM. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ADD HATE CRIMES ON AS WELL. 
          UM ONLY BECAUSE THAT IS ONE AT ADDITIONAL ACT. UM, IT'S SEPARATE. IT CAN BE AND FURTHER EXPANSION OF THAT, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT IN THERE BECAUSE IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY WANT TO HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT, SO WE WOULDN'T WANT TO INCLUDE IT. 
          THOUGHT? YES, NO. I'M FINE WITH IT. OKAY, OKAY. OKAY SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO SEVEN WHEREAS EACH INDIVIDUAL CAN CHOOSE NOT TO HOLD RACIST VIEWS AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO DO SO. I'M SORRY AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO DO SO AND THAT WE COULD CAN AND SHOULD SEE ONE ANOTHER AS HUMANS FIRST. 
          FINE WITH THAT. ABSOLUTELY. THING ELSE, OKAY? MOVING ON NUMBER EIGHT, WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DESIRES. TO UPLIFT AND UNITE STUDENTS BY NOT IMPOSING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF HISTORICAL TRANSGRESSIONS IN THE PAST, AND INSTEAD WE'LL ENGAGE STUDENTS OF ALL CULTURES IN AGE APPROPRIATE CULTURAL THINKING THAT HELPS STUDENTS NAVIGATE THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. DIDN'T YOU HAVE CHANGES FOR THAT? MARYLAND? YEAH. UM IN THE VERY END. WHERE IT HELPS STUDENTS NAVIGATE. I PUT THE PAST COMMA PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. SO ADDING THE PAST AND THEY'RE MAKING IT. THAT SEEMS APPROPRIATE. YES. I WOULD SUGGEST. THAT WE STRIKE BY NOT IMPOSING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF HISTORICAL TRANSGRESSIONS IN THE PAST, AND INSTEAD WILL SO IT WASN'T THIS LIKE, WASN'T DIDN'T WE GO OVER THIS THE LAST TIME WHEN WE KEPT IT IN BY THE MAJORITY VOTE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT WAS AN ISSUE LAST TIME, AND I THINK WE KEPT IT IN. I THINK THIS IS OUR NEXT TIME TO DISCUSS IT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS SO I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT IN STILL LIKE TO KEEP IT IN BECAUSE I ALONG SIMILAR LINES, I THOUGHT THAT THAT COULD BE STRUCK AND REPHRASE TO READ THAT. THE PLACENTA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DESIRES TO UPLIFT AND UNITE STUDENTS UNITE STUDENTS BY ENGAGING STUDENTS OF ALL CULTURAL CULTURES AND AGE APPROPRIATE CRITICAL THINKING THAT HELPS STUDENTS NAVIGATE. UM. THE PAST THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE BECAUSE I AGREED THAT I LIKE THAT INSERTION OF THE WORD PASSED IN THERE. I LIKE THE PARAGRAPH AS IS AND MARYLAND'S EDITION OF NAVIGATE THE PAST PRESIDENT FUTURE. I'M AGREEABLE WITH THAT. THIS FOR ME, AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY KIDS. AND I'M SORRY. I'M SO HANDICAPPED. CAN YOU PLEASE JUST SAY IT ONE MORE TIME SO I CAN FOLLOW ALONG AND FOLLOW? SURE ABSOLUTELY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. AGAIN. WE'RE ON ITEM EIGHT. SO IT WOULD BE, WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DESIRES TO UPLIFT AND UNITE. AH I SHOULD ADD THAT WORD STUDENTS BY ENGAGING STUDENTS OF ALL CULTURES AND AGE APPROPRIATE CRITICAL THINKING THAT HELPS STUDENTS NAVIGATE. THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. THANK YOU. I LIKE PARAGRAPH EIGHT AS IT STANDS. WITH THE ADDITION OF THE PAST. OKAY, I DISAGREE. BUT WE ARE 3 TO 2, SO WE'LL MOVE ON. 
          [01:35:04]
OKAY NUMBER NINE, WHEREAS THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING A SAFE, POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL STUDENTS, STAFF PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. AND WE ALL CAN AND WILL SERVE AND CELEBRATE STUDENTS THROUGH ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. SAME HERE. GOOD. 
          OKAY? NUMBER 10. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED. THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HONORS THE EXPERIENCES OF ALL STUDENTS BY ENCOURAGING INSTRUCTION THAT APPROPRIATELY EXPLORES THE HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY AND STRUCTURES THAT COMPROMISE THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SEEKS TO SUPPORT THE TEACHING OF RESPECTFUL COMMUNICATION, EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO SEE THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER AS PART OF THE NARRATIVE. I SAW THAT IN MARYLAND'S NOTES APPROPRIATELY WAS SCRATCHING. 
          THINK I AGREE WITH THE APPROPRIATELY BEING STRUCK? I AGREED WITH THAT, TOO. I STRUCK IT FROM MINE. ARE EITHER MARYLAND TWO. YES, OKAY. OKAY, SO NOTHING ELSE ON 10. NUMBER 11. IT ALSO RESOLVED. THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT STANDS BY THE COMMITMENT TO TEACH A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HISTORY. WE CAN AND WILL EMPOWER AND SERVE ALL STUDENTS. OKAY IN MY NOTES THAT I SENT TO EVERYBODY. I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS, UM THIS WHOLE PARAGRAPH JUST NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. I THINK IT'S TOO SUBJECTIVE AND IT'S COVERED IN PREVIOUS PARAGRAPHS. I'M AN AGREE WITH THAT. OKAY STRIKING NUMBER 11. MOVING ON NUMBER 12, BUT ALSO RESOLVED THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY THAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY WILL NOT BE USED AS A FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE DISTRICT EFFORTS TO PROMOTE EQUITY RESPECT. DIVERSITY CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND ENCOURAGE CULTURAL, RELEVANT AND INCLUSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES. 
          MARILYN, YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT ONE? THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR YOUR CHECKS AS WELL. OKAY. I REWROTE THIS. THIS RESOLVED. AND IT. IS IN THE NOTES. IT SAYS BE. IT ALSO RESOLVED THAT THE DISTRICT SUPPORTS EFFORTS AND EDUCATION TO PROVIDE OUT EQUITY RESPECT, DIVERSITY, CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND ENCOURAGE CULTURALLY RELEVANT AND INCLUSIVE TEACHING PRACTICE BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE USE OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE SUCH EFFORTS. 
          I LIKE THAT PARAGRAPH. SO I JUST KIND OF SWITCHED IT AROUND A LITTLE. SO MARYLAND MISS ANDERSON WHAT YOU JUST WOULD REPLACE CURRENT PARAGRAPH 12. CORRECT. THEN YOU HAVE THIS. I THINK HE WAS CLEANED IT UP, AND IT JUST SOUNDS BETTER. WHAT WAS THE VERY LAST PART OF THAT IF YOU WOULD, HOW DID THAT FINISH OFF? YOU KNOW YOU AND YOU READ YOU INVERTED IT. BUT DID YOU SEE WHAT WAS YOUR LAST WORD OR TO THE LAST THING BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE USE OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE SUCH EFFORTS. THANK YOU. AND MR ROBBINS COMMENT, UM. FROM THE LAST MEETING WE HAD WE WOULD ALSO STRIKE THE AND RIGHT HERE IS THE STATEMENT. I'M LEARNING HERE. AND LISTEN THE EVENING SO JUST TO BE CLEAR. THIS WILL BE NUMBER 11 SINCE WE STRUCK NUMBER 11 LASTS. IT'LL ALL BE REMEMBERED BECAUSE WE'RE ADDING IN TWO PARAGRAPHS AFTER NUMBER THREE THANK YOU. AND WE'RE ELIMINATING ALL ANDS AT THE END OF ANY RESOLVED. CORRECT CORRECT. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? KEEP MOVING ON NUMBER 13 B. IT ALSO RESOLVED THAT THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS ANY THEORY OR FRAMEWORK THAT IT SPOUSES OR TEACHES THAT A. THE UNITED STATES IS FUNDAMENTALLY OR SYSTEMATICALLY RACIST. GOOD. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. I'M GOOD. SO THESE ARE THESE BIG? THIS BEGINS A LIST OF SORTS OF WHAT CAN'T BE DONE RIGHT? OR YOU COULD LOOK AT IT, THE ADVERSE OF LIKE ALL THE 
          [01:40:04]
OTHER WAYS TO TEACH ABOUT RACE. I AGREE WITH A. SO ARE YOU SAYING WE'RE TEACHING THESE THINGS A THROUGH F? WE'RE JUST NOT TEACHING THEM. UNDER CRITICAL RACE THEORY. WE'RE NOT USED. WE'RE NOT USING THEM AS A FRAMEWORK AND OUR DISCUSSIONS REGARDING RACE. SO AN EXAMPLE AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE WHAT COULDN'T BE. THE TITLE OF A SECTION OF DISCUSSION. YOU COULDN'T. YOU COULDN'T EVEN POSE THE QUESTION OF ARE WE SYSTEM SYSTEMICALLY? I'M SORRY, YES, SYSTEMICALLY OR FUNDAMENTALLY RACIST. THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT WOULD BE A PROMPT IF YOU WILL FOR DISCUSSIONS, SAYING THE HISTORY CLASS OR AN AP CLASSES CLASS TO DISCUSS THAT THAT WOULD BE RIGHT WRONG TO OFFER. I THINK IT WOULD BE WRONG. I THINK YOU COULD DISCUSS LIKE, HOW DO YOU THINK LAWS YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE LAWS THAT PROMOTED RACISM LIKE THE JIM CROW AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT YOU WENT, SAY YOU KNOW? NOT JUST SAY THE WORD SYSTEMICALLY BUT TALK ABOUT HOW OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON RACISM. SO WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY SYSTEMICALLY RACIST. ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE THERE'S TIMOTHY SYSTEMICALLY RACIST. BUT WHEN WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT HAVE RACIST RACISM AND THAT SYSTEM, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THAT AT SCHOOL. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE CASE. I SAID IT'S MORE IF YOU'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A LESSON PLAN THAT IS SOLELY TO SHOW CYSTS, THE TEMPS SYSTEMIC RACISM AS A, UM AS A GOAL, THEN THAT WOULD BE WRONG. SO WHAT? GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY TALKING ABOUT LAWS. SO WE HAVE OUR HEAD LAW ACADEMY AT HELD. OH, SO IF THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PLETHORA OF LAWS THAT REALLY CAME OUT OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. UM. HOW WOULD YOU HAVE A ROBUST FULL DISCUSSION? ABOUT WHY THOSE LAWS CAME TO BE IF THOSE WEREN'T PERHAPS BORN OUT OF THE FACT THERE HAD BEEN SITUATIONS. UM. PRACTICES. I'LL USE THAT WORD FOR NOW. THAT MADE IT. UNEQUAL FOR SOME PEOPLE. IN VARIOUS WAYS. I MEAN THE LAWS THEY JUST DIDN'T DROP IN. THEY CAME OUT OF SOME SITUATION. SO HOW DO YOU HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE FUNDAMENTAL HALITI OR WHATEVER THE WORD WOULD BE. THE FUNDAMENTAL REASON FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW LAW OR SET OF LAWS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET THERE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT. WHAT WAS THE PRIOR WAY OF DOING THINGS ARE NOT DOING THINGS. I THINK YOU COULD COMPLETELY DISCUSSED THAT YOU COULD TALK ABOUT HOW THINGS WERE SET IN MOTION BEFOREHAND. AND WHAT WAS WERE. ENACTED AND THEN WHAT CHANGE HAPPENED AND THEN THE NEW LAWS THAT WERE COMING TO AGAIN. I KEEP GOING BACK TO SYSTEMIC. 
          SYSTEMICALLY RACIST OF THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS THE ROOT HOW IT WAS. FROM THE VERY CORE THE VERY BEGINNING, AND THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. NOW DO I THINK WE'VE HAD RACIST LAWS? YES RACIST LEADERS. YES AND THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN OUR COUNTRY. AND WE SHOULD DISCUSS THAT AND HOW THOSE THINGS CAME TO BE AND HOW THEY WERE CORRECTED. AND WHAT? WHAT STEPS WENT INTO CORRECT THOSE THINGS. WHAT IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN CORRECTED YET? THEN YOU SHOULD TALK WELL. BUT WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT HIM. NO I WAS GOING TO SAY WE CAN'T. WE SHOULD NEVER GO TO OUR STUDENTS AND SAY UM, ABC LAW THIS IS A REALLY A RACIST LAW. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT WE'RE TRYING TO TEACH OUR KIDS TO BE CRITICAL THINKERS , AND WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ABC LAW. AND ASK IF IT'S FAIR AND ASK QUESTIONS LIKE HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD IMPLY? HOW WOULD THIS ABC LAW, YOU KNOW, AFFECTS YOU AS A PERSON, YOUR NEIGHBOR AND JUST GETS IT THAT WAY AND LET THE KIDS COME. WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVING OUR KIDS ANSWERS. BUT IF THEY ASK, HOW DO WE FOLLOW THAT UP WITH ANSWERS? IF THEY'RE ASKING. WE DON'T JUST SAY GO TO THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AND THE DICTIONARY, OR I THINK WE TURNED THE QUESTION BACK ONTO THE STUDENT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND HOW DO 
          [01:45:03]
YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? A TEACHER'S NEVER SUPPOSED TO REALLY SHARE THEIR POLITICAL VIEW, OR IT'S NOT A POLITICAL VIEW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE REDLINING, FOR EXAMPLE, PLEASE BE QUIET IN THE AUDIENCE. OKAY. HAVE WE FIXED REDLINING? THERE ARE IMPLICATIONS THAT ARE STILL IN PLACE BECAUSE OF REDLINING. OKAY, SO THEN YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THAT. AND YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT OTHER LAWS HAVE GONE TO FIX IT. I'M SORRY. I'M JUST NOT AN EXPERT ON REDLINING. SO I THINK WE'RE NONE OF US ARE EXPERTS ON IT? SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BE THE EXPERTS ON THIS IS DIFFICULT. IN THIS PARTICULAR CONTENTS. I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE KIDS. UM HOW TO THINK ABOUT FINDING THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED TO DETERMINE THE ANSWER THEMSELVES, BUT NOT WHAT TO THINK. SO THE TEACHERS NOT GIVING THEIR OWN VIEW OR OPINION TO THIS CHILD, AND THEREFORE, UM RISKING THE CHANCE OF INDOCTRINATION. I THINK THE ROLE OF A TEACHER USUALLY IS NOT TOO PUT THEIR OPINIONS AND KNOWLEDGE BASED WHILE KNOWLEDGE BASED IN THAT THEY HAD PREPARATION TO BECOME A TEACHER, BUT. THE WAY IN WHICH THE TEACHER APPROACHES. 
          IT IS NOT TO JUST HAND OUT THE ANSWERS. THEY DO GO FOR THE IDEA OF HOW TO GENERATE THE THINKING , UM, GIVING THEM AGAIN AS YOU SAY, SOURCES, WHETHER IT'S BOOKS THIS OR THAT TO LOOK AT AND THEN AGAIN, THOSE PROMPTS WE ALL TALK ABOUT THE WRITING PROMPTS THE BREEDING PROMPTS THAT THE DISCUSSIONS, ETCETERA. AND UM AND THEN HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS. I DON'T. THE SCHOOL DAY WOULD BE OVER A LOT QUICKER. IF TEACHERS ALL THEY DID WAS JUST GET UP THERE AND STATE THEIR OPINION AND WALK OUT. IT IS AN INTERACTIVE. ENVIRONMENT WHEN YOU'RE TEACHING, AND I JUST DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN AND. TRY TO GINGERLY WALK AROUND SOME OF THESE PHRASES THAT YOU KNOW ARE GOING TO COME UP, POSSIBLY FROM THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF THE STUDENTS SAYS FROM WHAT I'M SEEING IN THIS ARTICLE AND THIS AND WHATEVER THEY MIGHT SITE. MAYBE THERE'S A GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO SAY WE'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH A SYSTEMIC RACIST. 
          WAY OF DOING WHATEVER. THEN WHAT DOES THE INSTRUCTOR DO WITH THAT? CAN THEY NOT? THEM FOLLOW UP ON THAT. DISCUSS IT. I MEAN, WHERE IS THAT LINE? HOW HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHEN THERE'S A VIOLATION WELL DISCUSSION. I WOULD SAY, THOUGH, THAT WHEN IT SAYS BE IT RESOLVED THE PLUS CENTURY OR WILL IN A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORY, ANY THEORY OF FRAMEWORK THAT ESPOUSES OR TEACHES SO I WOULD SAY THAT IF THIS COMES UP IN CONVERSATION AMONGST THE KIDS AND LET THEM HAVE THE CONVERSATION, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE TEACHER LED, TELLING KIDS THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS FUNDAMENTALLY RACIST OR SYSTEMATICALLY RACIST IF THEY WANT TO COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSION ABOUT THAT AND HAVE THE CONVERSATION. BUT WE HAVE HAD INSTANCES IN THIS DISTRICT WHERE TEACHERS HAVE TOLD CHILDREN THIS IN A LECTURE. SO I WOULD SAY IF THE TEACHER'S LECTURING THE KIDS, AND WE SHOULD NOT BE BEHIND SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IF THEY WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION, HAVE A REAL DISCUSSION. THAT'S FINE. BUT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE TELLING THE TEACHERS THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE LIKE IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SAY, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S TONS OF OPINIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN A CLASSROOM AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE FREE. TO HAVE YOUR OPINION, BUT WE WON'T BE TEACHING THIS TYPE OF THEORY IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO BRING IT UP IN A CLASSROOM FOR DISCUSSION, A STUDENT THEN ABSOLUTELY TALK ABOUT IT AND LET THEM BUT I MEAN WE'VE HAD TEACHERS WHO STAY YOU KNOW, TO LEAVE YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE AT THE DOOR AND THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE BIGGEST SYMBOLISM OF RACISM WHEN HE WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE'VE HAD TEACHERS SAY THAT TWO STUDENTS AND SO IS THAT APPROPRIATE. NO, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU. OKAY SO I'M GOOD WITH I'M GOOD WITH A I'LL STAY WITH YOU. I'M GOOD WITH IT. I DON'T NEED IT THERE. 
          I ALSO AGREE. I DO NOT WANT TO THEIR QUESTION BECAUSE THIS GOES BACK TO WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. UM WHAT. I GUESS THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT'S THE OVERALL INTENT OF THE RESOLUTION? MEANING? IF IT'S REPORTED THAT A TEACHER. CONTRADICTS THIS FIRST BULLET POINT WHAT WILL HAPPEN? I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION FOR OUR HR. YOU'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ADMINISTRATION. BUT I THINK IT'S A CRITICAL QUESTION FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER, UM BECAUSE. 
          YOU KNOW, IN MY NOTES ON THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT THAT I SENT BACK ONE OF THE THINGS I 
          [01:50:06]
MENTIONED IS THE CONCERN ABOUT LAWS THAT ARE VAGUE. AND. LAWS THAT ARE VAGUE HAVE BEEN FOUND BY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ON 14TH AMENDMENT DUE PROCESS GROUNDS UM, PLEASE, RESOURCES AND A RECENT EXAMPLE THAT IS JUST KIND OF FUNNY. IS, UM. WE ALL KIND OF REMEMBER SOME OF THOSE AWARDS CEREMONIES THAT CELEBRITIES ATTENDED BACK IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS, WHERE THEY WOULD DROP THE OCCASIONAL F BOMB OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THE BROADCASTERS WERE PENALIZED UNDER FCC REGULATIONS. UM THAT WERE. AT THAT TIME RECENTLY UPDATED TO SAY SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF BEFORE IT USED TO BE, YOU KNOW GEORGE CARLIN'S SEVEN DEADLY WORDS. UM AND THAT'S REALLY ALL THEY WOULD ENFORCE, AND IF IT WAS WHAT WAS CALLED A FLEETING EXPLETIVE. ONE TIME OCCURRENCE, LIKE IF, IN THE BACK OF A SPORTING EVENT THAT QUARTERBACKS BEING INTERVIEWED AND SOMEBODY GOES BY AND DROPS AN F BOMB OUT OF CELEBRATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, CBS WOULDN'T GET PENALIZED FOR THAT. SO IN THESE CASES, THEY WERE JUST ONE TIME USES OF THE LANGUAGE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BROADCASTERS ARE GETTING FINED. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS THAT SHOW NYPD BLUE. THERE WAS SOME NUDITY ON IT FOR SEVEN SECONDS AND ABC AFFILIATES 45 ABC AFFILIATES WERE FINED APPROXIMATELY $27,000 EACH TO A TUNE OF A COUPLE MILLION BUCKS TOTAL. UM. PENNED IN THE BROADCASTERS FOR THE WORD SHOWS AND ABC. SUED TO HAVE THOSE PENALTIES OVERTURNED ON THE GROUNDS THAT THEY WERE THE REGULATION WAS VAGUE. AND THAT IT VIOLATED THEIR DUE PROCESS. THE NOTICE PROVISION OF DUE PROCESS DUE PROCESS IS NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD. AND SO THE NOTICE PROVISION. WAS WHAT WAS EXAMINED BY THE SUPREME COURT, AND THEY SAID THAT THE LAW WAS SO VAGUE THAT THE BROADCASTERS DIDN'T HAVE NOTICE OF WHAT CONSTITUTED VIOLATION. AND SO THEREFORE BROADCASTERS HAD NO IDEA OF KNOWING HOW THAT WOULD BE ENFORCED. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M COMING BACK TO THIS QUESTION OF WHAT'S THE BOARD'S INTENT WITH THIS BECAUSE WE ARE OBLIGATED WHEN WE WERE PASSING RULES, REGULATIONS, BYLAWS, BOARD POLICIES, ET CETERA. TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CLEAR ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE ARE ON NOTICE ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO, ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM BEHIND IT . SO IF THE INTENT IS FOR A TEACHER TO BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE UM. I THINK THE CONVERSATION THAT JUST HAPPENED DEMONSTRATES THAT THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT THAT FIRST BULLET POINT MEANS. AND COULD CREATE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS FOR ENFORCEMENT. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY I SAY THAT'S SOMETHING THE BOARD SHOULD CONSIDER. WE CAN'T JUST PUNT TO RICK BECAUSE RICK'S GOTTA WORK BASED ON WHAT THE BOARD'S INTENT IS, UM, AND WHEN I'M WORKING WITH RICK, I HAVE TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE BOARD'S INTENT IS AS WELL WHEN I'M SAYING YOU CAN DO X Y OR Z OR YOU CAN'T UM SO THAT'S WHEN I PUT IN THE NOTES HERE ABOUT CLARITY IS IMPORTANT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHY I PUT IT THERE BECAUSE I WANTED THE BOARD TO BE AWARE THAT WE DO NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF CLARITY. IF THE INTENT BEHIND THIS IS TO HAVE SOME TEETH FOR ENFORCEMENT. SO THAT'S I THINK AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION FOR THE BOARD TO AT LEAST THINK ABOUT IF NOT HAVE TONIGHT SO I THINK, TOO. I DON'T KNOW IF OUR CURRICULUM OR HISTORY CURRICULUM IN THESE THINGS. IF IT'S ACTUALLY SAYING THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS AMENDMENTS FUNDAMENTALLY OR SYSTEMATICALLY RACIST, AND SO I THINK OF THE TEACHERS TEACHING THAT AND THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR CURRICULUM IS STATING, AND WE HAVE. MAYBE AN ISSUE THERE, BECAUSE THAT'S AN OPINION. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE DISTRICT APPROVED CURRICULUM IS SAYING, AND I ALSO THINK, TOO WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY TIMES IN MULTIPLE SUBJECTS ACROSS THIS DISTRICT THAT EVERYBODY IS TEACHING FROM THE INTERNET. 
          THEY'RE NOT TEACHING FROM TEXTBOOKS ANYMORE, WHICH IS THE DISTRICT APPROVED CURRICULUM. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT THIS WHERE THIS IS WHERE PACING GUIDES REALLY COME INTO PLAY SO THAT WE KNOW THAT EVERY SINGLE LEVEL WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT EVERY TEACHERS TEACHING ANOTHER TEACHER FROM THE TEXTBOOK, AND THEY'RE TEACHING THE SAME THING. SO THE DISTRICT DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE HEARING. I I HAD A KID LAST YEAR WHO DIDN'T USE THE BIOLOGY TEXTBOOK AT ALL. THE OTHER CLASSES DID HE DID NOT. UM AND THERE WAS THERE WAS ISSUES THERE BECAUSE WHAT WHAT WERE THE OTHER CLASSES BEING TAUGHT? FIRST IS LIKE WHAT WAS HIS CLASS BEING TAUGHT? AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHY WE REALLY NEED PACING GUIDES SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT 
          [01:55:01]
THE CURRICULUM BECAUSE RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S ALL OVER PLACE. I MEAN, WE ARE SEEING STUFF FROM YOUTUBE. WE'RE SEEING STUFF. FROM EVERYWHERE AND SOME SOME HISTORY CLASSES ARE NOT USING A TEXTBOOK. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO HOLD, YOU KNOW, ACCOUNTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CURRICULUM. I MEAN, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRICULUM CLASSROOM AND A LOT OF TEACHERS. 
          I'VE BEEN USING IT SO I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAVE PACING GUIDES, AND WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS TEACHING THE SAME TYPE OF THING, AND THIS ISN'T A PART OF OUR CURRICULUM, THEN. WHY ARE THEY TEACHING IT IF THAT MAKES ANY TYPE OF SENSE? CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT CURRICULUM? SO WHEN WE HAVE FIFTH GRADE HISTORY. UM WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? ACROSS THE DISTRICT? AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DIRECTION OUR FIFTH GRADERS FIFTH GRADE TEACHER THAT WOODSBORO GIVEN VERSUS FIFTH GRADE TEACHER AT RUBY DRIVE. WELL, ESSENTIALLY, THAT'S THE ADOPTION PROCESS RIGHT AWAY. WE SELECT THE BOOKS AND THE CURRICULUM THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE AS A DISTRICT AND SO REALLY AT THE FIFTH GRADE LEVEL, I MEAN, EVERY TEACHER WOULD BE USING THE SAME MATERIALS TO TEACH THE STANDARDS FOR FIFTH GRADE. THERE MAY BE SOME VARIATION IN IF THERE'S AN ENRICHMENT AND THAT'S WHERE MAYBE IT'S A AN ARTICLE THAT COMES IN OR IT'S A VIDEO THAT A TEACHER CHOOSES TO REALLY JUST BRING SOMETHING TO ALLOW FOR THE STUDENTS THAT'S GOING TO HELP THEM BETTER RELATE TO THE TOPIC ON HAND. BUT EVERYONE ALL TEACHERS WILL BE FOLLOWING THE SAME THE SAME AND THE PACING PIECE OF IT, AND WE DO WE DO PROVIDE OUR TEACHERS WITH THAT STRUCTURE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, AND THAT'S OFTEN THAT'S OFTEN PROVIDED IN THE TEXT BOOK ITSELF. IT'S BROKEN UP INTO UNITS, AND IT'S GIVEN AN IDEA OF HOW LONG THE TEACHERS SHOULD BE SPENDING ON EACH OF THOSE LESSONS WITHIN EVERY UNIT. 
          OUT OF THE COURSE OF IT, BUT SOME ARE NOT USING THE TEXTBOOK AT ALL I WOULD LIKE AND I'VE WRITTEN THAT DOWN ABSOLUTELY. TRUSTEE BLADES. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT. AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOU KNOW WHERE THAT'S OCCURRING AS WELL. SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE WANT TO EXPLORE AND LOOK INTO FURTHER. OKAY I WAS JUST LIKE TO FOLLOW UP WITH MR LOPEZ. SO IF THE SITUATION THAT MRS BLADES DESCRIBES THAT A TEACHER IS NOT USING THE CURRICULUM, AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT USING THE TEXTBOOK AND ETCETERA IS THERE A PROCESS NOW THAT TEACHERS GO THROUGH, YOU KNOW. LIKE. YOU KNOW, I KNOW LIKE EVERYONE SIGNS OF THINGS, SAYING THAT THEY SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION. AND RE AS BOARD MEMBERS HAD TO SIGN IT AS WELL. AND, UM LIKE IF A TEACHER IS NOT TEACHING THAT, LIKE THEY'RE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE CONSTITUTE. WHAT IS THE PROCESS? HELP US UNDERSTAND THAT? SO I KNOW DOCTORAL. SASSER OPENED UP EARLIER WITH EXPLAINING WHEN IT CONCERN COMES FORWARD. USUALLY SOMETIMES IT STARTS WITH THE TEACHERS OR EMPLOYEE THAT THERE IS A CONCERN WITH AND THEN IF THAT DOESN'T BRING ABOUT SATISFACTION THAT GOES ONTO THE SITE PRINCIPLE, AND THEN THEY COLLABORATION WITH EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IF IT IS RELATED TO A CURRICULUM THING, PROVIDING CLARITY THERE AND THEN IF THERE CONTINUES TO BE CONCERNS THAT IT WOULD GO THROUGH. TO OUR DEPARTMENT TO PARTNER WITH THEM IN ADDRESSINGE RIGHT LIKE THEY'RE LIKE IF IT KEEPS PROCESS CORRECT. AND I THINK BACK TO MR ROBBINS QUESTIONS THAT WOULD BE THE SAME PROCESS LIKE IF A TEACHER YOU KNOW? IT'S NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH THAT THERE WOULD BE LIKE THAT. THAT PROGRESSIVE PROCESS TO GO THROUGH MUCH TO THE SAME RIGHT? AGAIN THOUGH, JUST COME TO THE CLARITY OF IT. AND SO I THINK I'M GONNA SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HERE BECAUSE I USED TO BE A HISTORY TEACHER. UM ANDA CHALLENGE, KNOWING WHAT WAS WITHIN BOUNDS AND WHAT'S NOT, AND I READ THAT AS AN ATTORNEY, TOO, AND I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. UM YOU KNOW THE EXAMPLE OF THE CONSTITUTION? IS A GOOD ONE. AND I RECALL WHEN I WAS TEACHING HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY, ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE FOUNDING WITHIN THE TEXTBOOK THAT WE HAD WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE 3/5 COMPROMISE. UM WHICH WAS THE COMPROMISE TO GET THE SOUTHERN STATES TO SIGN THE CONSTITUTION THAT FOR APPORTIONMENT PURPOSES. 
          COUNTED SLAVES ONLY AS 3/5 OF A PERSON. UM SO. HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT IN A CLASS. UM WHO WOULD A TEACHER. WHAT'S THE BOARD'S VISION ON HOW A TEACHER COULD DISCUSS THE 3/5 COMPROMISE AT THE FOUNDING? THEN TAKING THAT THROUGH THE SPECTRUM AND CONTINUATION OF HISTORY. 
          WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE, UM, THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT IN THE 19 SIXTIES. 
          AND THE USE OF AT LARGE ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH BECAUSE IT'S SPECIFICALLY WHAT WAS ADDRESSED IN THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 OR WHATEVER IT WAS. UM THE USE OF THAT LARGE 
          [02:00:03]
METHODS OF ELECTIONS, WHICH YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A DEMAND LETTER ON THAT UNDER THE CONTEXT OF THE CALIFORNIA VOTING RIGHTS ACT. BUT THE US GOVERNMENT FELT COMPELLED TO PASS THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT BECAUSE THEY WERE SEEING THE AT LARGE METHODS OF ELECTIONS WERE BEING USED TO DILUTE VOTING STRENGTH OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. AND SO. AS A TEACHER. WHAT ARE THE BOUNDARIES OF DISCUSSING POTENTIALLY THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE 3/5 COMPROMISE THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT? UM IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T RUN AFOUL OF THIS RESOLUTION THAT TIME AND AGAIN. I'M ASKING THIS FOR THE BOARD'S BENEFIT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IF THIS GETS PASSED YOU KNOW, AND IT GETS CHALLENGED ON A LACK OF CLARITY GROUNDS. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BUILD A RECORD FOR WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AND WHAT THE INTENT IS BEHIND IT. SO I THINK THOSE QUESTIONS ARE IMPORTANT FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD. UM IN IN IN THAT PARTICULAR BULLET POINT. WHAT ARE THE BOUNDARIES IF A TEACHER WAS TOO BRING IN THE 3/5 COMPROMISE AS AN IDEA FOR HOW THE SOUTH VIEWED AFRICAN AMERICANS AT THE TIME OF THE FOUNDING, AND DOES THAT VIEW REFLECT ITSELF IN IDEAS LIKE THE USE OF AT LARGE METHODS OF ELECTION TO DILUTE VOTING STRENGTH OF AFRICAN AMERICANS? ARE THOSE VALID QUESTIONS THAT CAN BE ASKED, OR DO THEY RUN AFOUL OF THAT BULLET POINT? THOSE ARE THOSE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER. AND IF I COULD TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VOTING RIGHTS ACT NOW AND THAT SO WE COULD LINK IT DIRECTLY TO CURRENT EVENTS. I THINK EVERYTHING THAT YOU JUST SAID TODD WOULD BE COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE TO BE TAUGHT IN CLASS, HOWEVER. WHEN WE'RE SITTING HERE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, OR WAS IT. THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT CONDEMNS RACISM. AND WILL NOT TOLERATE RACISM, RACIST CONDUCT IF YOU HAVE A TEACHER WHO GOES UP THERE AND SAYS THERE'S A WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, OR YOU HAVE WHITE. CHECK YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE AT THE DOOR OR ANY OF THESE THINGS THAT'S RACIST CONDUCT SO IT WOULD FALL UNDER. THE BOARD RESOLUTION 20-4 AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED BY TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM. TO BE DISGUSTING. THINGS IS DIFFERENT THAN FOR A TEACHER. TO GO UP THERE AND. SPOUT RACIST COMMENTS AGAINST AGAINST A CERTAIN RACE, AND SO I THINK LIKE, THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THIS IS LIKE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WATER IS JUST BEING MUDDIED HERE. LIKE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE HAVING LETTING KIDS HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS IN CLASS AND ACTUALLY TEACHING HISTORY IS FINE. IT'S BUT YOU DON'T STAND THERE. THE TEACHERS DON'T STAND THERE AND SAY THAT THE WHOLE WHITE RACE IS YOU KNOW YOU'RE RACIST. YOU'RE RACIST BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE AND THESE RACES ARE BEING HELD DOWN BECAUSE OF WHITE PEOPLE. AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS SAYING, LIKE NOBODY'S SAYING, DON'T TEACH HISTORY THEY'RE SAYING JUST DON'T PIT THE RACES AND SAY THAT ONE RACE IS RACIST , AND THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ENTIRE, YOU KNOW, SINCE AMERICA HAS BEEN HERE FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. THAT THAT EVERYBODY'S HAVING. UM AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE EVERYTHING IS KIND OF JUST GETTING LIKE DISJOINTED LIKE WHERE'S NOT HAVING TEACHERS PROMOTE RACIST IDEOLOGY. I THINK AS RACISM IS JUST BEEN PART. OF THE WORLD SINCE THE FOUNDING. YOU KNOW, THERE'S. THERE'S EXAMPLES THROUGHOUT HISTORY WHERE ONE RACE DOMINATES ANOTHER AND GOES BACK AND FORTH. AND SO RACISM IS A HUMAN ISSUE. IT'S NOT AN AMERICAN ISSUE. OKAY SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE GOT ANY MORE CLARITY FROM THAT. SO I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE TAKE HIS COMMENT AND ADVISEMENT ON THAT PARTICULAR. BULLET POINT FOR SURE. OKAY, NOTED. OKAY NUMBER OR 13 B. ONE RACE IS INHERENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY RACIST AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STEREOTYPING, SCAPEGOATING AND OR OPPRESSION OF ANOTHER RACE, WHETHER CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY. I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING THE ONE RACE. IDEA. I MEAN, IS THERE ANY OTHER RACES THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT? OTHER THAN THE WHITE RACE? HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER RACE? THAT IS BEING SUBJECTED. TO RACISM. 
          OTHER THAN THE WHITE RACE. WHAT I MEAN IS, UM SO. SHERYL HARRIS ARGUES IN THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW 
          [02:05:12]
THAT WHITES BELIEVE IN WHITENESS AS A PROPRIETY, GIVEN THEMSELVES EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES. 
          THIS PROVIDES EVIDENCE TO CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS THAT RACE IS A CREATION OF WHITE PEOPLE TO GIVE THEMSELVES SPECIAL STATUS. BASED ON THEIR WHITENESS. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO SAY. ONE RACE OR WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT JUST THE WHITE RACE. ANY EUROPEAN ANY ANGLO SAXON. WOULD THAT BE WHAT WE'RE REALLY DISCUSSING. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RACE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCT THAT. THAT HUMANS HAVE CREATED AND IT'S PRIMARILY BASED ON COLOR. OKAY I THINK IT'S MORE BASED ON POWER. WOULDN'T YOU SAY? COLOR IN POWER. POWER OVER COLOR. BECAUSE AS WE JUST DISCUSSED, IT SEEMS EVERY RACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HAS BEEN A SLAVE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? NO. WHICH WHICH RACE HAS NOT BEEN A SLAVE. IF WE LOOK AT THE UNITED STATES. WHITE PEOPLE WEREN'T THE IRISH AND INDENTURED SERGENT PRETTY SURE THEY WEREN'T SLAVES. 
          THEY WERE INDENTURED SERVANTS, SO THERE'S THE DIFFERENCES. AND VENTURED SERVANTS VERSUS LIKE THE WAY THAT PEOPLE CLASSIFIED THEM. STILL ASLEEP THEIR SLAVES. WHAT SO HOW ABOUT ANY RACE? BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE RACIST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE . I MEAN, I'VE HAD THAT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. SO DO WE JUST SAY ANY RACE? IS INHERENTLY RACIST OR INTENTIONALLY RACIST AND BECAUSE THEN IT OPENS IT UP THAT IT'S NOT ONE RACE. IT'S NOT. IT'S ANY RACE. LIKE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A TEACHER GO UP THERE AND SAY A CERTAIN RACE IS RACIST, SO WE COULD SAY ANY RACE AND WE CAN LEAVE IT OPEN THAT ANYBODY CAN BE RACIST. SO IN THE IN THE BOOK OF FROM BARBARA APPLEBAUM. ABOUT IN BEING WHITE BEING GOOD. 2010 COPY, IT ARGUES THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR WHITE PEOPLE NOT TO BE RACIST AND QUOTES, OTHERS TO SUPPORT THIS VIEW. WHITE SUPREMACY, ACCORDING TO TRIP INJURE INHABITS THE MINDS OF ALL WHITE PEOPLE. WILDMAN AND DAVIS ALSO STATED THAT CONTEND THAT WHITE SUPREMACY IS A SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION AND PRIVILEGE THAT ALL WHITE PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM. THEREFORE ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST. AND IN THE USE OF THE TERM BECAUSE THEY THEY ALL BENEFIT FROM SYSTEMIC WHITE PRIVILEGE. SO I THINK, REALLY, WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT ONE PARTICULAR RACE THAT IS CONCERNING. I AGREE WITH MRS BLADES. I THINK IT SHOULD BE ANY RACE AND IT SHOULD COVER ALL. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A LOT, BECAUSE A LOT OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY HAS TO DO WITH WHITE SUPREMACY AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE ANY RACE. AGREE. SO ARE YOU PROPOSING THAT ITEM B WOULD BREED SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT ANY RACE IS INHERENTLY AND INTENTIONALLY RACIST. AND NOR RESPONSIBLE FOR STEREOTYPING. ETCETERA ABSOLUTELY. IS THAT WHAT THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY? YEAH. WHERE DID THIS DEFINITION? WHAT'S THE SOURCE OF THIS LIST ON ITEM? 13? I WAS ONE QUESTION I HAD. WHAT WAS THE THESE SOURCE FOR THIS DEFINITION. WOULD IT COME FROM? ALL DIFFERENT SOURCES . SO IT'S AN AMALGAMATION OF SEVERAL IDEAS. IT'S NOT ONE DEFINITION. HAS ANYONE COME UP WITH THE DEFINITION? UH I THINK I THINK I HAD THE DEFINITION FROM THE ETHNIC STUDIES AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING WHEN WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS AND I, WHAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS AND ACCORDING TO ETHNIC STUDIES, ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE ETHNIC STUDIES , AND I PUT THAT ON THE NEW NOTES THAT I PASSED AROUND TODAY. YES. YOU'LL SEE THAT, UH , NEW NOTES THE NEW NOTES. SORRY WHO KNOWS? AND I YES, HERE IS, WHEREAS THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORY AT THE PRACTICE OF INTERROGATING RACE AND RACISM IN SOCIETY. CRT RECOGNIZES THAT RACE IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY REAL BUT IS SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED AND SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RACISM IS EMBEDDED WITH HIM, SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT REPLICATE RACIAL INEQUALITY. CODIFIED IN LAW, EMBEDDED IN STRUCTURES AND WOVEN INTO PUBLIC POLICY. THAT'S WHAT THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM, SAYS CRTS. AND WE DON'T WANT TO TEACH THE RT. SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL 
          [02:10:02]
CURRICULUM THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO? BY LAW TEACH? WELL THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING OUR OWN CURRICULUM, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE THE CRT IN IT. THERE ARE STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE STANDARDS . I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT WE'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT YOU CAN NOT TEACH CRT AND STILL HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MODEL CURRICULUM. I'M SORRY. I GOT WHAT I GOT. YEAH. THANK YOU. LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HE DID. OKAY. SO ON BE ANY WE PUT IN ANY. IF I COULD POINT OUT HERE I HAVETUDIES, MODEL CURRICULUM GUIDING PRINCIPLES, AND ONE OF THE BULLETS SAYS SHALL WHICH MEANS REQUIRED. ENCOURAGE CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DIFFERENT GROUPS HAVE STRUGGLED AND WORKED TOGETHER HIGHLIGHTING CORE ETHNIC STUDIES CONCEPTS SUCH AS EQUALITY, JUSTICE, RACE, ETHNICITY AND DIGNITY, ETCETERA. AND WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. I HOPE EVERYBODY GETS TAUGHT THAT BUT I JUST HOPE THAT SOME, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TEACHERS SAYING THAT THERE IS ONE RACE IS RACIST. SO I'M JUST GOING TO INTERJECT HERE. UM AND I WAS LOOKING OVER YOUR BOARD POLICIES. UM AND WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE WHICH OTHER DISTRICTS DO HAVE AND THEY HAVE USED IN A LOT OF THE THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS. THE ONLY REASON I BRING IT UP BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, AND I REPRESENT LOTS OF DISTRICTS. SO I SEE THIS POLICY COME UP. UM THERE'S A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES BOARD POLICY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE. BUT I'M JUST GOING TO QUICKLY PARAPHRASE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT IT SAYS FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS THE GOVERNING BOARD RECOGNIZED THE DISTRICT'S EDUCATION PROGRAM MAY SOMETIMES INCLUDE INSTRUCTION RELATED CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES, MARROW, STRONG REACTIONS BASED ON PERSONAL VALUES AND BELIEFS, POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, CULTURE, RELIGION AND OTHER INFLUENCES. INSTRUCTION CONCERNING SUCH TOPICS SHALL BE RELEVANT TO THE ADOPTED COURSE OF STUDY AND CURRICULUM AND SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO DEVELOP STUDENTS CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS ABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN FACT AND OPINION, RESPECT FOR OTHERS AND UNDERSTANDING TOLERANCE OF DIVERSITY POINTS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IT PROHIBITS. IS INSTRUCTION THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS OR I'M SORRY, ADVERSELY REFLEX UPON PERSONS BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN SEX. SO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TRUSTEE BLADES WITH PEOPLE SAYING THINGS ABOUT ONE RACE BEING BETTER THAN THE OTHER WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS POLICY, AND THIS IS A POLICY THAT'S TRIED AND TRUE. 
          AND HAS BEEN TESTED. AND WE WOULD KNOW THAT WE COULD ENFORCE IT. AND SO I'M JUST GIVING YOU THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. AS AN EXAMPLE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS OUT THERE. THAT SEEMS TO COVER WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, AND I WILL IF I CAN BREAK IN. WE HAD A AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING. THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AS A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES TO BE PUT INTO OUR BYLAWS, AND IT WAS VOTED DOWN. I BELIEVE ME AND TRUST THE YOUNG BLOOD VOTED YES, FOR IT TO BE HEARD AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AS AN AGENDA ITEM, AND IT WAS VOTED DOWN. OKAY BUT LIKE I SAID, UM, YOU MAY WANNA AS ABOARD THINK ABOUT RECONSIDERING THAT, IF BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY COVERS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING HERE TONIGHT , AND IT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED. UM AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE USED IN HIS FAMILIAR IN THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY AS SOMETHING THAT PLACES PARAMETERS ON. DISCUSSIONS ABOUT CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS. SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, TODD. I WOULD LIKE THE BOARDS OF POSSIBLY LOOK AT PROMOTING THAT. MAYBE IN OUR NEXT SESSION, WE COULD LOOK AT PUTTING ONE OF THOSE. POLICIES TOGETHER. IN ORDER TO MAYBE AVOID SOME OF THESE THESE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE HAVING NOW. 
          WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING DIRECTLY NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, BUT WE CAN, UM AT OUR NEXT BOARD, MEETING OR OR I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS THAT GO AHEAD. I REMEMBER WHEN THAT DID COME UP, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A POLICY WHETHER IT'S THE ONE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. I DON'T KNOW ON CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES. IT'S JUST WE CONSTANTLY HAVE SO MUCH ON OUR PLATE. I THINK WE CAN ONLY THIS IS ONE OF THE HEAVY ONES AND WE CAN ONLY PUT SO MUCH IN FRONT OF US AND DO A GOOD JOB OF IT. AND I THINK THAT THAT MAY VERY WELL BE SOMETHING WE WILL LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE, BUT AT THE TIME THAT WAS POSED TO PUT ONE MORE THING, HONEST. WAS NOT IN MY I CHOSE. IT WAS BROUGHT UP LAST MONTH. I REMEMBER. I REMEMBER. YEAH I HAVE SEEN THE POLICY. I BET I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SAME POLICY. THEN IT MAY BE. AH, ANOTHER GOOD THING WHICH WE LOOK OUT AGAIN, SO WE CAN LAYER ALL OF THIS TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A ROCK SOLID POLICY THAT WON'T GET TEACHERS. IN ISSUES THAT THEY CAN'T DEVIATE FROM OR WON'T PUT US IN A POSSIBLE LITIGATION, SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE A PRIORITY. SO YOU'RE SAYING MERRY UP SOME OF THE LANGUAGE 
          [02:15:05]
AND THAT POLICY AND WHO A DRAFT RESOLUTION HERE THE CONTROVERSY POLICY. I THINK WE NEED TO. TO DEFINITELY GET ON TOP OF MAYBE MAKE THAT MORE PRIORITY THAN SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE. WELL, THAT'D BE FINE. PUT IT AHEAD OF THIS IS GREAT, BUT I JUST WANT US TO HAVE AMPLE TIME TO REALLY GET INTO THE DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE OFTEN AS WE ALL KNOW, WE HAVE LENGTHY BOARD MEETINGS, AND I THINK WE DO A BETTER WORK WHEN WE HAVE WHEN WE CAN REALLY FOCUS ON IMPORTANT TOPICS BUT NOT OVERBURDEN. THAT DISCUSSION AND PREPARATION AND ALL THAT FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING STAFF. SO FOR THE FUTURE, THAT MAY VERY WELL BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. 
          BUT I JUST THEY SAID I WASN'T INTERESTED AT THE TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH. MR ROBBINS. THAT SECTION THAT YOU READ FROM THE 61 44. CAN YOU READ THAT AGAIN? SURE. SO I'LL READ THE LEAD UP TO IT FIRST, WHEN PROVIDING INSTRUCTION RELATED TO CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES . THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHALL APPLY, AND THIS IS NUMBER SEVEN. 
          THE INSTRUCTION SHALL NOT REFLECT ADVERSELY UPON PERSONS BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, ETHNICITY , NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER, IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, DISABILITY, RELIGION OR ANY OTHER BASIS PROHIBITED BY LAW. THANK YOU. I HAVE PART OF THAT 61 44 HERE. BUT IS IT 61 33? R 44. I THINK IT'S 44. OKAY? SO WE'RE STILL AT B. AND THE ONLY THING THAT WE'VE ADDED HERE IS TO MAKE IT ANY I'M GOOD WITH THAT. SAM. I'M JUST THINKING, UF THIS MAKES MORE SENSE THAT YOU SAY ANY RACE COULD INHERENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY. JUST TRYING TO WORK IT OUT IN MY HEAD. ANY THOUGHTS. WELL. MY QUESTION IS IT SAYS THAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS THAT ANY RACE IS INTENTIONAL IS CAN BE INHERENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY RACIST, BUT WE CAN'T TEACH THAT. SO. WELL, WHY WOULD YOU TEACH THAT? THEN WHY IS IT IN HERE? YEAH, I'M JUST. IF THAT'S A STATEMENT ANY ANY RACE IS INHERENTLY OR INTENTIONALLY RACIST AND RESPONSIBLE FOR STEREOTYPING, TYPING, SCAPEGOATING OR OPPRESSION OF OTHER RACE, WHETHER CONSCIOUSLY OR ON CONSCIOUSLY. BUT WHY ARE REALLY NOT INTO TEACH THAT THEN IT SHOULD BE ONCE IT SHOULD BE SHOULD BE THAT ONE'S ONE'S LIKE O N E APOSTROPHE S OKAY. ONE'S RACE. OKAY, LET'S DO THAT. OH, ANY POSTURING? I'M GOOD WITH THAT. NO, I'M NOT GOOD WITH THAT, EITHER, BUT I GUESS WE'RE MOVING ON C A PERSON'S RACE DETERMINES THEIR MORAL CHARACTER AND MAKES THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAST TRANSGRESSIONS OF THAT RACE . BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. I JUST HAVE TO SAY FLAT OUT. I'VE JUST NEVER HEARD THAT. AS SOMETHING I STATED THAT THEIR MORALS ARE BASED ON YOUR RACE. I HAVE NOT EITHER. JUST NEVER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THAT HERE, BUT EVIDENTLY, ACCORDING TO SOME SOURCE OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY, IT IS THOUGHT TO BE THE CASE, I GUESS. ARE WE GOING TO SEE THEM? I'M GONNA SEE. I'M GOOD. GOOD SO I HAVE A GRAMMAR RECOMMENDATION . SORRY. OKAY. THE SEMI COLON. 
          TYPICALLY SETS OFF AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE. UM. AND IF THAT IS AN INDEPENDENT, YEAH, I'M A NERD. THANK YOU, UM. UM THAT REALLY CHANGES THE MEANING OF THAT BECAUSE STATEMENT IF IT'S ITS OWN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE , SO THAT'S WHY I PUT IN MY ORIGINAL COMMENTS TO YOU. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. WHAT THIS MEANS, IS IT. YOU KNOW IS THAT BECAUSE OF THIS, REFLECTING BACK TO UM IS IT SAYING BECAUSE OF THIS, PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY. OR IS IT 
          [02:20:05]
REFLECTING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PART OF THAT PHRASE THAT SAYING THAT IF SOMEBODY HAS A MORAL CHARACTER FLAW THEY BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR DISCRIMINATED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS IN THE SEMI COLON JUST THREW ME FOR A LOOP. SO I APOLOGIZE, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR ON WHAT THIS MEANS. OKAY MY, UM MY GRAMMAR KNOWLEDGE. UMS IN A COLON. SO IT SAYS, THE THEORY OF FRAMEWORK THAT EXPOSES OR TEACHES THAT AND IT'S A COLON , WHICH SETS OFF A LIST. WHAT'S GOOD? THAT'S AWFUL LIST, WHICH MEANS AS FOLLOWS. DOES THAT HELP? NO, THAT DOES. I'M TALKING ABOUT, THOUGH IN THE THIRD BULLET POINT, THE SEMI COLON THAT'S AFTER RACE AND BEFORE BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO REMOVE THAT. WELL I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INTENT WAS BEHIND THAT. AND THIS IS JUST HOW I LEARNED. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A COLON, AND THERE'S PROBABLY AN ENGLISH TEACHER IN HERE THAT CAN CORRECT US. AND YOU MAKE A LIST AS FOLLOWS THAT YOU SEPARATE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH A SEMI COLON. AND THAT'S HOW I WAS TAUGHT IN COLLEGE. SO I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE. BUT ALWAYS HEARD A COLON MEANS AS FOLLOWS. AND THEN IF YOU'RE PUTTING THOUGHTS TOGETHER, WHICH THE LIST IS PUTTING THE THOUGHTS ALTOGETHER. 
          THAT YOU SEPARATED WITH A SEMICOLON. AND IF SOMEONE WANTS TO CORRECT ME EVEN OVER IN THE GALLERY, THAT'S FINE. YES DOCTOR L SASSER PROPOSED PERHAPS JUST CHANGING IT TO AN END. SO MAYBE WE REFLECT THAT CHANGE AND READ IT AND SEE IF THAT MAKES SO IF YOU CHANGE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND READ IT, DOES IT. PERSON'S RACE STATE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED IT TO STATE. OR THE WORD YOU COULD HAVE A NEW SENTENCE AND JUST SAY, THEREFORE, SOME PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. SO WOULD YOU JUST BE PUTTING PERIODS AFTER A THROUGH F JUST HAVE A PERIOD AT THE END AND JUST LIKE, ALMOST GO INTO A NEW SENTENCE, OR NEW I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT MARYLAND SAYING WE'RE STILL IN C, AREN'T WE? I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT YOU HAVE A SEMI WE HAVE THE SEMI COLON BEHIND A YOU HAVE SOMEBODY CALLING BEHIND BE SO THEN IF YOU REMOVE THE ONE BEHIND, SEE, IT'S NOT IT'S IN THE MIDDLE UNDER TRANSFER IN THE MIDDLE. SECOND LINE UP THE FOURTH WORD IN. OH I SEE. I THOUGHT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ENDING. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT. NO NO, NO. I'VE SEEN THAT. NO ONE IN THE MIDDLE. SORRY I WAS TRYING TO CLEAR BETWEEN RACE BECAUSE, YES. ARE YOU TRYING IF I READ IT? BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, EITHER, BUT A PERSON'S RACE DETERMINES THEIR MORAL MORAL CHARACTER MAKES THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAST TRANSGRESSIONS OF THAT RACE. AND BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE IS THAT WAY. IS THAT THE ESSENCE OF WHAT YOUR THAT'S FINE. NETWORKS. OKAY. ALRIGHT, WAS LOOKING AT THE END. THE END . YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOO. 
          SORRY. I WAS VERY CONFUSED. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYWHERE AND CRT WHERE IT SAYS THAT OR EVEN ALLUDED TO THAT A PERSON'S GRACE DETERMINES THEIR MORAL CHARACTER. 
          WELL UNDER DOMINANT IDEOLOGIES. IT'S THE IDEAS, ATTITUDES, VALUES, BELIEFS AND CULTURE. SO OKAY, SO SERIES THAT'S BEEN DONE. UM. AND I CAN LOOK IT UP AND SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY. BUT IT'S FROM. IN WASHINGTON, D C. THERE'S ALL THE MUSEUMS. WHAT ARE THOSE CALLED SMITHSONIAN, SMITHSONIAN'S AND SMITHSONIAN'S CAME OUT WITH. DIFFERENT RACES, AND THEY HAVE, LIKE, HAVE PUT MORAL CHARACTERS TO THEM. SO. AND THEN ALSO TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HAD A PANEL AND WHAT WASN'T JULY AND AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, AND I THINK IT WAS RECORDED AND TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS STUFF AS WELL. I SAW THAT. OKAY, SO MOVING ON, I GUESS. TWO D CHARACTER TRAITS, VALUES MORAL AND ETHICAL CODES, PRIVILEGES, STATUS OR BELIEFS, RESULT AND MEMBERS OF A RACE BEING INHERENTLY RACIST AND ARE INCLUDED TO OPPRESS OTHERS. I THINK. AH INCLUDED SHOULD BE SCRATCHED AND PUT PREDISPOSED. YEAH I GAVE THREE DIFFERENT CREATURES POSED. I LIKE 
          [02:25:10]
PREDISPOSED. OKAY AND THAT WOULD REPLACE INCLUDED, OKAY? MARYLAND. YOU WERE SAYING TO LEAVE OUT THE ORDER. YES, THANK YOU. 
          MOVING ON FROM THIS. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS ONE. BUT KEEP GOING. OKAY MEDIOCRITY, C OR TRAITS, SUCH AS WORK ETHIC OR DEVOTION TO DUTY AND OBLIGATIONS ARE INHERENTLY RACIST. I HAVEN'T AGAIN. I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT AND CRT SO I DISAGREE. THIS ONE. I DISAGREE. I DON'T KNOW. MY MIND WENT TO WORK ETHIC. I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WORK ETHIC WITH RACE, BUT MOREOVER, WHAT DO WE DO IN OUR CAREERS CLASSES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK ETHIC? I MEAN, ARE WE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THIS. BUSINESS SOMEHOW. MAYBE YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ONE RACE WORKS HARDER OR WORKS LESS THAN ANOTHER. OKAY? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE RACIST TO SAY THAT RIGHT? MY WEIGHT AGREED THAT WE WOULD BE RACIST, BUT I. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT ONE. 
          I'M GOOD WITH IT. THANK. OKAY NUMBER F INTERSECTIONALITY, THE INTERCONNECTED NATURE OF SOCIAL CHARACTERIZATION. CHARACTERIZATIONS SUCH AS RACE, CLASS AND GENDER CREATE OVERLAPPING THE ENERGY DEPENDENT SYSTEMS OF DISCRIMINATION OR DISADVANTAGE. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS AVOIDABLE BECAUSE I LOOK BACK TO WHEN I WAS. TRYING TO GET A JOB. I HAD MY DEGREE. MY HUSBAND WAS STILL WORKING ON HIS AND I FOUND THAT I DIDN'T GET A JOB BECAUSE I WAS DEEMED NOT TO BE THE BREADWINNER, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS AT THAT TIME. AH AND OR WAS HOPING TO BE ULTIMATELY WAS, BUT I WAS A WOMAN. AND THEY HAD ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW THAT WOMEN AREN'T AREN'T. THE BREADWINNERS AND, YOU KNOW, RACE IN THAT CASE, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN START TALKING ABOUT OR NOT FIND OURSELVES IN CERTAIN SETTINGS, CERTAIN CLASSES DISCUSSING THAT OVERLAP WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE FEMALE, UM, PERHAPS LET'S SAY HISPANIC, UM. YEAH JUST THOSE OVERLAYS AND HOW THAT MAY NOT MAKE YOU AS MIGHT LIMIT YOUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT. IN THE EYES OF SOME . SO HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPENED? UM, STILL UM, HOW DO YOU AVOID INTERSECTIONALITY? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OKAY? I THINK WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION. YEAH BUT I STILL STRUGGLING ABOUT THAT. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OVERLAPPING. FOR ME. THE PROBLEM IS THE SECOND POINT OF THE DEFINITION OF INTERSECTIONALITY WHERE WE RANK AN INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF DISCRIMINATION, SO EVERYBODY IS LIKE. LIKE I HAVE EXPLAINED THIS SEVERAL TIMES PUT ON THE LADDER AND YOUR DISCRIMINATION YOU KNOW IS RANKED LIKE YOURS IS MAYBE MORE THAN MINE OR KIND OF A CASTE SYSTEM KIND OF THING RIGHT ? AND THAT'S THE SECOND PART THAT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM DISCUSSING OVERLAPPING, YOU KNOW? ISSUES AND HOW THIS COULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE AFFECTED YOUR LIFE, YOU KNOW, BEING A WOMAN BEING A MINORITY BEING AN IMMIGRANT BEING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER. ALL THOSE THINGS I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WHEN THEY ARE PUT INTO THAT. 
          INDEPENDENT SYSTEM. YOU KNOW WHEN THEY'RE RANKED THAT'S THE PART ABOUT INTER SEXUALITY THAT 
          [02:30:05]
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. AND HOW WOULD THAT APPEAR IN THE CLASSROOM? PAGE FOUR ON THIS? I SAW THAT I COULDN'T EVEN READ THAT GRAPH AT THE BOTTOM. TRY TO READ THOSE YOU CAN'T IT DOES SHOW THE GRAPH AND IT SAYS STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO WRITE DOWN HER, ANALYZE THEIR VARIOUS FORMS OF OPPRESSION OR LIKE THEY'RE BASED ON RACE, SEX, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGION AND SO ON. AND THEN SO THERE'S CHARTS LIKE KIND. IT IS HARD TO READ. YEAH THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THEY'RE GIVING. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN OUR SCHOOLS QUESTIONS AND THIS IS FROM THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FROM A CLASSROOM. IT MIGHT NOT BE FROM OUR DISTRICT, BUT IT OR EVEN IN CALIFORNIA, RIGHT? SHE'S NOW IN FLORIDA. WHO WHAT'S YOUR NAME? TELEPHONE OKAY, BUT STILL IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOM. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. AND TO BE HONEST, THIS HAS BIASES. WHEN YOU DO THE RESEARCH, THIS WAS CLEARLY. NOT FROM AN. RECOGNIZED EDUCATIONAL SOURCE. IF YOU DO THE RESEARCH, WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE, AS WE HAVE, I'M SURE YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO TAKE THIS AS THE SINGULAR SOURCE. OTHER FEEL. BUT AND I WROTE THOSE DOWN, SO I'LL LOOK INTO THAT, TOO. I DO THE RESEARCH ON THESE TO SEE YOU KNOW WHAT THE BACKGROUND IS AND MOTIVATIONS AND BLACKS IT AS IT HAPPENS. WAS ANOTHER ORGANIZATION WITH THAT TITLE THAT BASICALLY WAS TAKEN OVER BY A GROUP THAT HAS MORE OF A POLITICAL BENT ON IT, SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO LOOK AT THIS AND TAKE THIS AS IF YOU LIKE. I'M I'M A MEMBER OF BLACK STATE, AND I ALSO KNOW THE CALIFORNIA THE PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA I'M SURE THEY'D BE HAPPY TO COME AND SPEAK WITH YOU OR SPEAK TO THE BOARD. IF THERE'S ANY I DON'T THINK WHERE I NEED A POLITICAL INPUT ON IT. BUT I LOOKED, YOU KNOW FOR INFORMATION THAT YOU KNOW BACKS UP THIS BUT BUT YEAH, I JUST OKAY. IS THIS STUFF? I'M FINE WITH F. I AM NOT. I'M FINE WITH IT. I'M FINE WITH IT. I'M NOT EITHER. SO THAT BRINGS US TO 14. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED. THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL NOT INCLUDE CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN ANY OF ITS COURSE OFFERINGS. I AM OPPOSED TO THAT. I AM AS WELL. I'M GOOD WITH IT. IN MY NOTES TODAY. I JUST ALTERED IT VERY LITTLE. ON YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BOTTOM AND IT'S BASICALLY SAYS WILL NOT INCLUDE CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A FRAMEWORK IN ANY COURSE OFFER, OKAY, LIKE MARYLAND'S CHANGE. AS A FRAMEWORK. IN ANY COURSE OFFERINGS. LIKE IT. NOW THAT WE'RE AT THE END, TODD, DO YOU HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENT. I WAS GOING TO SAY I HAD ONE MORE. LET'S GO WITH YOURS FIRST FINAL AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT. UM THE DEFINITION FROM THE ETHNIC START THIS MODEL CURRICULUM. I THINK IT'S A GOOD DEFINITION, AND I THINK WE SHOULD INSERT IT AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE RESOLUTION. WHAT DEFINITION? ON THE NEW NOTES. IT'S THE ONE BY GENERAL GEORGE AND IT'S JUST SAYS WHEREAS THE. THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORY. AS A PRACTICE OF INTERROGATING RACE AND RACISM IN SOCIETY. CRT RECOGNIZES THAT RACE IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY REAL, BUT THIS IS SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED AND SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT RACISM IS EMBEDDED WITHIN SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS. THAT REPLICATE RACIAL INEQUALITY CODIFIED IN LAW, EMBEDDED IN STRUCTURES AND WOVEN INTO PUBLIC POLICY. SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD DEFINITION. AND, UM ONE OF MISSED A COUPLE OF MR ROBBINS COMMENTS WERE LIKE , YOU KNOW, WE DON'T DEFINE CRITICAL RACE THEORY KIND OF AT THE BEGINNING, SO I'M LIKE, DO YOU PUT THIS AT THE TOP OF THE RESOLUTION, OR DO YOU WANT IT, YOU THINK WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE AS A SO WHEN I READ THIS, THIS IS MORE OF THE DEFINITION OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY THAT I'M FAMILIAR WITH. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE BOARD SAYS IT DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS DOWN. AT THE BEIT RESOLVED PORTION. OF THE DOCUMENT. SO. ARE YOU? IS THE BOARD ACCEPTING THIS DEFINITION OR YOU REJECTING IT AND CREATING YOUR OWN? WITH THE BE IT RESOLVED PORTION OF THE RESOLUTION. TO GET MY QUESTION. 
          MHM. SO I JUST I MEAN THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE INTERNALLY INCONSISTENT. AND THAT WOULD CREATE SOME CONFUSION. SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT NUMBER 11 WOULD BE IF WE PUT THAT BACK OR 
          [02:35:10]
WHERE IT SAID BE IT. ALSO RESOLVED WE WOULD PLACE IN THE ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM DEFINITION OF ZERO PEOPLE KNOW THE BE IT RESOLVED STATEMENT. THE SECOND ONE. SAYS. THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFINES CRITICAL RACE THEORIES. ANY THEORY OR FRAMEWORK THAT ESPOUSES OR TEACHES THAT AND THEN IT INCLUDES THE SIX BULLET POINTS. 
          I SEE WHERE IT IS OKAY, AND THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE DEFINITION PROPOSED BY THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM, SO IS IT IS THE BOARD. REJECTING THAT DEFINITION. IF IT INCLUDES IT UP AS AWARE AS STATEMENT, IS IT REJECTING THAT DEFINITION DOWN BELOW, WITH ITS BE, IT RESOLVED? STATEMENT? OR IS IT INCORPORATING THAT DEFINITION? UM. I THINK INCORPORATING. PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN. 
          YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS 13. CONTRADICTS. YOU STEP OUT. IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT. UM. I WOULDN'T GO SO FAR YET IS TO SAY IT CONTRADICTS WITHOUT SPENDING MORE TIME WITH IT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT. I DON'T I THINK BUT ONE THAT THE A THROUGH F. I DON'T THINK IT CONTRADICTS THAT. I JUST THINK IT GOES INTO MORE DETAIL. I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT CONTRADICTS IT BECAUSE I'M READING THIS. AND THAT'S JUST. FIVE SENTENCES, AND THEN WE WENT INTO MORE DETAIL. I GUESS JUST BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN STUDYING CRITICAL RACE THEORY, AND ALL OF THAT'S INCLUDED LIKE ALL THE MANY CHAPTERS, I GUESS, AND SO I FEEL LIKE IT DOESN'T CONTRADICT. I FEEL LIKE WE WENT INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT CRITICAL SERIOUS ACTUALLY ABOUT. SO IF IT I THINK IT GOES INTO THE INTERROGATING PART OF THE DEFINITION. THAT WE KIND OF YOU KNOW, WEEK EXPANDED AND INTERROGATED WHAT IT MEANS. SO IS THE IS THE BOARD. INTERROGATING THE DEFINITION, OR IS THIS JUST THE BOARD SAYING THIS IS WHAT WE INTERPRET INTERROGATING RACE TO MEET? BECAUSE SO LIKE ON THE FACE OF IT WITHOUT LIKE, I SAID, SPENDING MORE TIME WITH IT. THIS DEFINITION DOESN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS. IT MENTIONS. INSTITUTIONS SYSTEMS CODIFIED IN LAW EMBEDDED IN STRUCTURES WOVEN INTO PUBLIC POLICY. SO BIG THINGS. WHEREAS THE DEFINITION BY THE BOARD FOCUSES ON INDIVIDUALS. UM I THINK IT COULD BE ON INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM. SO IF IT'S MAYBE PROTECTING AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE CLASSROOM VERSUS. ABROAD. SORRY I INTERRUPTED YOU. OH, NO, I WAS DONE. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE DEFINITION THAT I'M MORE FAMILIAR WITH. WHEN I WAS IN LAW SCHOOL. THINGS LIKE THAT. MY READINGS ON IT AS IT'S BECOME AN ISSUE. UM I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH IT AS AN EXAMINATION OF SYSTEMS. AND OF LAWS. I'M NOT SO FAMILIAR WITH IT IN TERMS OF INDIVIDUALS. 
          UM AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. MIGHT GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT IT WOULD SEEM THAT AS IT'S BEEN EXPRESSED A FEW TIMES THAT THERE'S GREAT CONCERN. ABOUT WHAT A TEACHER WILL STAND UP IN FRONT OF A CLASS AND SAY. AND THIS SECTION 13 THAT HAS BEEN EXAMINED TODAY. DOES SPEAK MORE TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND BECOMES KIND OF THAT SUIT A LIST OF WHAT NOT TO DO OR TALK ABOUT. AND. AGAIN THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS BECAUSE 
          [02:40:02]
I. IF THERE'S EXAMPLES WHERE TEACHER BRINGS THEIR OWN PERSONAL POLITICS INTO THE CLASSROOM. UM THOSE SITUATIONS NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE APPROPRIATE YEARS. AND THERE'S PROCESSES FOR THAT. IF THERE'S SOME QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN SAID BUT, UM, BUT, AS I SAID, I THINK THIS ALMOST STARTING TO BECOME THE LIST OF DON'T TOUCH THIS. DON'T TOUCH THAT. AND IF YOU DO DO IT ONLY IN THIS WAY. MAYBE I SHOULD CLARIFY MY QUESTION, TOO. UM. 
          I'M MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONCEPT OF CRT AS EXAMINING INSTITUTIONS, LAWS AND SYSTEMS NOT AS EXAMINING THE MOTIVES OF INDIVIDUALS DOES THAT. YEAH, I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING SO I'VE IN WHEN I WAS IN LAW SCHOOL, AND WE TALKED ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY. UM IN THE CONTEXT OF REDLINING, FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY. YOU'RE LOOKING AT A SYSTEM YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW? JOHN SMITH WAS THE CITY COUNCILMAN THAT WROTE THE LAW. AND HE WAS A RACIST IT WAS. THIS IS REDLINING. AND WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE IMPACT THAT REDLINING HAS ON YOUR HAT ON AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES AS AN EXAMPLE OF A FACIALLY NEUTRAL LAW. IT'S A TERM THAT YOU GETTING LOST COOL THAT ON ITS FACE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RACIST OR HAVE ANY SORT OF RACIAL INTENT, BUT IT HAS A DISPARATE IMPACT ON RACES. AND SO WHEN, WHEN WE USED CRITICAL RACE THEORY OR IT WAS TAUGHT TO US IN THE CONTEXT OF CRITICAL RACE THROUGH IN LAW SCHOOL, THAT'S THE LENS THROUGH WHICH WE LOOKED AT THINGS. IT WASN'T LOOKING AT THE MOTIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WAS LOOKING AT THE OUTCOMES OF THE FACIALLY NEUTRAL LAWS THAT WERE PASSED. UM AND SO I RAISED THE QUESTION. FOR CLARITY PURPOSES, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ARE TRYING TO HELP THE BOARD. MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR IN WHAT IT'S SAYING. 
          THIS DEFINITION. BY THE ETHNIC STUDIES CURRICULUM. FOCUSES ON. THE BIGGER, BROADER PICTURE, WHEREAS THE BOTTOM PART IS SOMETHING I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS FOCUSING ON THE MOTIVES OF INDIVIDUALS. AND SO THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THIS DEFINITION DOES GET INCLUDED THAT THE BOARD THINKS ABOUT UM, IS THIS DEFINITION HERE, TOO? SAY WE ARE REJECTING THE ETHNIC STUDIES DEFINITION OF CRT, AND THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE CRTS OR IS THE BOARD'S INTENT WITH THIS DEFINITION TO SAY. THIS IS WHAT THE MODEL CURRICULUM SAYS CRT IS AND WE ACCEPT THAT. BUT WE ALSO BELIEVE IT IS THIS AS WELL. UM, AND THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. BUT IF THAT IF YOU'RE CREATING YOUR OWN ADDITIONAL DEFINITION OF CRT. IT'S JUST WE WANT TO BE CLEAR OF WHAT THAT'S THE INTENT IS BY ADDING THAT FIRST ONE CAUSE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY CONNECT NATURAL. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DEFINITION THAT THE CURRICULUM MODEL CURRICULUM GOES BY IS A BROADER, BROADER STROKE. SO IT'S BASICALLY A BROAD, BROAD SWORD WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT MORE, UM MORE FINITE TYPE OF SWORD. WHEN WE TALK INDIVIDUAL. WHAT THIS. 
          WOULD THIS BE ABLE TO BE ADDED OR INCLUDED WITH THIS WITHOUT DISTORTING WHAT WE'VE ALREADY? I DON'T KNOW. UM I'D HAVE TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME READING. UM I'M GOING BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE. 
          THE I'M JUST. SAYING FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE IN LAW SCHOOL AND THEN READING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE IT'S BECOME AN ISSUE THAT CLIENTS BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT. THE SECOND PART UNDER THE BE IT RESOLVED. THE SIX BULLET POINTS ARE NOT GENERALLY INCLUDED. IN WHAT. THE DEFINITION OF CRT IS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS UM AND SO. I THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING I JUST THE BOARD NEEDS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION OR HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF IF THIS GETS HIM INSERTED IN IT. 
          WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THAT? OF WHAT? HOW DOES THAT DEFINITION IMPACT THIS RESOLUTION? BASED ON THE BOARD TO YOU. CHECKED OUT, SO I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT IT. OKAY. ARE WE PUTTING IT IN AT 
          [02:45:03]
THIS POINT? I THINK WE NEED TO. AH POSSIBLY HOLD OFF PUTTING IT IN UNTIL WE JUST KIND OF LOOK AT IT A LITTLE FURTHER. MY QUESTION WOULD BE AS YOU WOULD CONTEMPLATE. THIS IS ABSENT THIS DEFINITION, BUT IT EXISTS. PERHAPS THAT HERE IF. THE TEXT AS IT'S KIND OF COMING INTO TIGHTER FOCUS. DO THEY COLLIDE? OR ARE THEY. ABLE TO COEXIST EVEN IF IT'S NOT PRESENT IN HERE. BUT IF IT IS PART OF THE CO EXECUTIVE. COEXISTS MAYBE. WOULD IT BE A. IF YOU HAD A PROFESSOR IN HERE FROM A LAW SCHOOL THAT WAS JUST LOOKING AT THIS OR FROM GRAD SCHOOL THAT WAS LOOKING AT THIS WOULD THEY SAY? THAT THE BOTTOM PART OF THE BOARD'S RESOLUTION IS A COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD. DEFINITION OR PART OF A COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD DEFINITION DEFINITION OF CRT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. OKAY, UM BUT WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? COULD THEY COULD COEXIST? SURE THEY CAN PROBABLY COEXIST IN HERE. THEY SHOULD. THEY COULD COEXIST, BUT I THINK THE BOARD WOULD BE COMING UP WITH ITS OWN DEFINITION OF CRT WEARS THIS ONE. LIKE I SAID, REFLECTS MORE OF WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING OF CRTT THAT THAT PROVES TRUE LIKE IF I DO THE RESEARCH AND CONFIRM THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE OUT ON A LIMB WITH ITS DEFINITION. AND IS THAT YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE THE BOARD'S DECISION TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. THANK YOU. WELL, I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE UM. WITHOUT HAVING THE CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES LIKE OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE IF WE WANTED TO INSERT THE ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM. AND THEN. AND ALSO AND WE COULD SAY AND IT ALSO WE ALSO DON'T DO THIS IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THESE BULLET POINTS THAT WE'VE SEEN COME FROM CRITICAL RACE THEORY. COULD WE INCORPORATE IT? LIKE THAT, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES AND SO A LOT OF THESE ISSUES. ARE CONTROVERSIAL. THAT WE HAVE LISTED THE A THROUGH F. SO COULD WE PUT IN THE ETHNIC STUDIES CURRICULUM DEFINITION AND THEN ADD SOMETHING TO IT. THAT SO TO CLARIFY YOUR QUESTION YOU'RE SAYING COULD WE ADD THAT IN THE ETHNIC STUDIES WE WON'T INCLUDE THAT AS A FRAMEWORK. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S THE FIRST PART OF IT RIGHT. AND ALSO WE WON'T TEACH THESE THINGS THINGS COULD WE DO IT? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO YOU COULD HIT EVERY POINT YOU COULD. BUT AGAIN, I WOULD WILL SPEND SOME TIME WITH THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S THAT I UNDERSTAND THE CLARITY OF IT. SO FOR THE PURPOSES OF ADVISING RICK AND DR L. SASSER ON IT IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE ARISE. DO WE ALL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS? UM. ONE POSSIBLE SOLUTION WOULD BE IF YOU'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE THE CRT DEFINITION HERE. AS ONE THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEACH. AND ALSO WE DON'T TEACH THAT. OR WE DON'T WE DON'T USE INSTRUCTION THAT NEGATIVELY OR ADVERSELY REFLECTS UPON A PERSON BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, ETHNICITY. YOU COULD JUST STEAL THE DEFINITION IN 61 44. BECAUSE IT COVERS LIKE I SAID, LIKE 99% OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? SO WE CAN, THEN YOU'VE YOU'VE GOT, LIKE, TRIED AND TRUE LANGUAGE THAT PEOPLE HAVE I FELT I THINK I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT SOLUTION. MY HEAD. I'M TRYING TO PROBLEM SOLVE. AND I THINK USING THIS AND THEN GOING BACK TO THE 61 44 THAT ONE SECTION OR DO YOU RECOMMEND? UM. PASSING THIS WITH THIS, THE MODEL ETHNIC SAYS, MODEL CURRICULUM DEFINITION AND THEN PASSED THE 61 44 AS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT THE SAME TIME. UM. YOU COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT. 
          BUT MY CONCERN WOULD BE AGAIN WITH THE SIX BULLET POINTS. IF THE INTENT WAS TO KEEP THE SIX BULLET POINTS I NEED TO SPEND AFTER TONIGHT'S CONVERSATION AGAIN JUST A LITTLE TIME WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CLEAR OR IF IT WAS TO JUST DELETE THOSE INCLUDE THE DEFINITION IN THAT'S IN THE MODEL CURRICULUM AND THEN ADOPT 61 44 INDEPENDENTLY. I WOULD SAY THAT'S PROBABLY THE SAFEST ROUTE TO GO. SO DO WE. YEAH WE VOTED TO ADOPT A HAPPY 1 44. SORRY BUT I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. I THINK WE ARE TWO MORE. WE ADD IN THAT PARAGRAPH AND GET OUT 
          [02:50:04]
THE BULLET POINTS. THAT? YES. I MEAN, I THINK IF WE SINCE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE AGENDA FOR APRIL, 5TH THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY BAN THAT WE DO THAT, AND THEN WE DO A 61 44 AS WELL OR JUST GOES IN ONE BUT I THINK MAYBE THE 61 44 WE JUST ADD IT BACK IN AS A BYLAW. AND IT KIND OF DOES EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT TO DO. YEAH. I FEEL MRS FREEMAN'S PAIN WHEN SHE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT ON OUR PLATE AND, UM BUT THE MORE I'VE BEEN STUDYING AND I'VE BEEN , I TOOK SOME NOTES OF SOME MODEL. LANGUAGE FROM 61 44. YOU KNOW, I WAS LIKE, WELL, MAYBE WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT AND I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT AND SO I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD SOLUTION. CAN I REPEAT BACK ? WHAT I THINK HAS BEEN SUGGESTED. SO FAR, SO WE UNDERSTAND. IS THAT THE CURRENT WHAT WE CALL NUMBER 13, AND IT HAS SIX BULLETS. THAT 13 IN THE SIX BULLETS WOULD COME OUT. THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD REPLACE THE NEW WHEREAS USING THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES, MODEL CURRICULUM AND DEFINITION. THEN WE GO ON TO NUMBER 14. THAT ENDS AND WE ALSO THEN BRING PROPOSED BY BOARD POLICY 61 44. FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION AND ULTIMATE ADOPTION AT THE SAME TIME, YES, YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT AWARE OF THAT'S THE RESULT. CAN WE AT THIS POINT JUST DECIDED TO ADD THAT IN AS AN AGENDA ITEM AT A STUDY SESSION OR DO WE NEED TO GO TO OUR BOARD MEETING AND THEN? YOU MEAN 61 44? UM. WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE ON HERE FOR THE FUTURE OF BOARD. NO, YOU DON'T. UM I THINK TO BE SAFE TO FOLLOW WHAT YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED. YOU SHOULD BRINGING IT TO THE MEETING NEXT UNDER FUTURE BOARD ITEMS, OKAY, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA TODAY. SO ON APRIL 5TH UNDER FUTURE IMPORTANT TONIGHT ITEMS. SOMEONE WOULD BRING UP THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO ADOPT. COURT POLICY 61 44. 
          AND. IF THERE'S CONSENSUS WITH THREE OF YOU, THEN WE BRING IT BACK ON THE AGENDA IN MAY SO THAT YOU CAN THEN DO A FIRST READING AND ULTIMATE ADOPTION. OKAY, SO APRIL. 5TH IS THE CRT BAN. AND THEN THE MAY WOULD BE THE 61 44. POLICY. IF WE BRING IT FORWARD, BRING IT FORWARD ON APRIL 5TH, AND THERE'S AT LEAST CONSENSUS THAT THAT'S WHAT THE BOARD WOULD WANT TO DO. OKAY? BUT REMEMBER ON THESE BOARD POLICIES AND BYLAWS WHEN WE BRING HIM SO WE BRING IT MAY IT'S THE FIRST READ THAT YOU GUYS GET TO GO THROUGH IT AND TELL US WHAT YOU WANT DIFFERENT AND THEN WE WOULD TAKE ALL THE NOTES AND BRING IT BACK IN JUNE FOR AN ADOPTION, RIGHT? BUT WE JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR APRIL 5TH WILL BE THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY BAN. RESOLUTION AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO REQUEST ON APRIL 5TH THAT WE BRING THIS ADDITIONAL POLICY. ARE WE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND STRIKE THE SIX BULLETS AND REPLACE THAT WITH THIS NEW THE DEFINITION FROM MODEL THE CALIFORNIA ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM. RIGHT? OKAY THAT SOUNDS APPROPRIATE. 
          ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL PUT IN THE MODEL CURRICULUM INTO THIS AND TAKE THE SIX OUT, OKAY? OKAY, SO I. THINK THAT MAY WRAP IT UP. WE'RE JUST 15 MINUTES OVER, SO WE'LL STOP THERE AND ALL NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SOME OF A SECOND MOTION BY MR FREEMAN. SECOND MIND, MRS ANDERSON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR ALRIGHT, MOTION CARRIES 50 AND WE LEAVE AT SOMEBODY GIVE ME A TIME.
