The noteworthy British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli once remarked that “there are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.” The Ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus also observantly wrote ”in war, truth is the first casualty.” There could easily be another corollary to these great quotes that could go ... in the battle over school board recalls, there are lies, damn lies, and recall campaign slogans.
The Temecula Valley Unified School District recall campaign against current School Board President Dr. Joseph Komrosky is a prime example of the lies and mistruths perpetrated by a leftist dominated coalition of local activists and teachers' union members. An obvious case-in-point illustrating the mistruths perpetrated by these pressure group leftists are the Yes on Recall campaign signs littering the neighborhood. Many of these signs prominently state, “Protect Parents’ Rights” and urge a yes vote on June 4.
A majority of the TVUSD School Board, led by Dr. Komrosky, voted to enhance and codify parental notification rights in order to re-establish transparency and trust between the school district and Temecula parents. In what sort of bizarro world do the recall proponents get off by proclaiming that such transparent policies are curtailing parental rights? Or, that a vote to oust Dr. Komrosky will strengthen parents’ rights?
This is the same left-wing bunch who advocate for the sexual grooming and transitioning of minor children behind their parents' backs. All of this is just political gaslighting of the people of Temecula by the recall proponents, gaslighting at its very worst.
In 2022 voters throughout the Temecula Valley voted for a real change in direction for the school board, after months and months of Covid school lockdowns, at the behest of teachers unions. Too many prior school boards were more than willing to ignore parents' concerns while rubber-stamping diktats from the out-of-touch Sacramento political class.
School board trustees like Dr. Komrosky are merely carrying out their campaign promises to voters for more parental rights and for more transparency to all parents, voters, taxpayers, and stakeholders throughout the Temecula Valley Unified School District.
This recall campaign fittingly belongs on the ash heap of history, along with other far leftist dogmas. School board trustees like Dr. Komrosky are actually enshrining parental rights through stronger notification and more transparent policies. This untruthful and sham of a recall deserves a resounding no vote and should be rebuked at the ballot box.
Disraeli never said it. It was Mark Twain's own invention.
Well, like Abraham Lincoln said “You can’t believe everything you read on the internet”.
