It's Time to Blow the Whistle on Arizona School Districts
President Trump, the Department of Education, and the Maricopa County Superintendent have spoken
Arizona school districts are indoctrinating students with diversity, inclusion, equity (DIE), and social emotional learning (SEL) ideologies. If you’ve been living under a rock :) and are unfamiliar with these terms, start researching here and here. For brevity, I’m only covering four high-profile districts.
EAST VALLEY
Mesa Public Schools (MPS)
Every February, MPS (with a black student population below 5%) and the Mesa Education Association host BLM at School Week of Action. In 2024, I chastised the district for imposing racist doctrines on K-12 students. MEA’s 2025 celebration went off without a hitch. This is TRASH:
Under no circumstances should any child learn this damned Marxist propaganda. This cesspool of racial segregation and perversion is immoral and illegal. I hope student enrollment continues to plummet and the good teachers find better organizations to partner with.
*Thank you to Board Members Rachel Walden and Sharon Benson for doing your best to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
Chandler Unified School District (CUSD)
CUSD is a dark place (no pun intended) where ethno-enthusiasts thrive. The “CUSD Equity” Twitter page is dedicated to celebrating black, brown, Indigenous, and disabled people (some good things are buried under DIE/SEL). If you’re straight, white, with no physical or mental disabilities, you may not have a heritage. <insert crying emoji>
CUSD’s Black Student Union step team performed at a board meeting in February 2024. The poor dears couldn’t dance to save their lives, yet they declared, “We are black excellence!” I don’t understand this interpretation of black/African American culture. ICYMI, they entered the board room singing the Black National Anthem—a ditty for the 1900s, not today. Watch here as the dignified black man stands up, eyeballing the clueless, mostly white crowd. The whole scene was patronizing to me.
Besides using the word “equitable” to define equity, CUSD’s Educational Equity statement “Acknowledge[s] that structures and systems exist which may deprive students of equitable educational opportunities.” (Note: The “structures and systems” are unnamed.) One of CUSD’s “Action Steps/Pathways” to equity includes “Utiliz[ing] data from perception surveys to improve the culture of inclusion.” (Sounds like profiling to me.)
*I don’t know newly elected Board Member Ryan Heap, but he seems to genuinely care about CUSD. Parents/taxpayers should approach him with an open mind.
WEST VALLEY
Peoria Unified School District (PUSD)
Between 2021 and 2022, someone reported PUSD to the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) for alleged racial harassment after a teacher touched a black girl’s hair. In response to OCR’s reprimand, PUSD agreed to implement a 15-page resolution (a checklist of sorts) that included “anti-harassment” declarations and commitments to train staff and students.
PUSD doubled down and promoted DIE/SEL district-wide under the guise of “professional development.” All board members, except current Board President Heather Rooks, continued voting in favor of CRT-based training conferences throughout 2023 and 2024. Despite having a conservative majority on the school board, the pattern is repeating itself in 2025. On February 27, Rooks and Board Member Janelle Bowles voted against a taxpayer-funded staff retreat in Las Vegas—featuring DIE/SEL sessions—that will soon come to Tucson.
Rooks said she voted “nay” to spending $10,000 on staff travel for a conference that’s offered in Arizona. Bowles pointed to President Trump’s Executive Order banning toxic, racist doctrines (my words) from K-12 institutions. When I asked Tobey why he voted “yea,” he said “a few sessions may touch on” DIE/SEL, but that “doesn’t negate the whole conference.” He could not cite data showing the academic benefits of these trainings or specify what disciplinary action would result from violating a signed attestation.
The following screenshot is sourced from the host organization:
*Thank you to Rooks, Bowles, and Tobey for voting to remove all DIE/SEL language from PUSD’s Vision, Mission, and Value Statement. Constituents expect unified efforts when staff travel requests show up again on the consent agenda.
DEER VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (DVUSD)
I recently covered this district in a previous post. Suffice to say, DVUSD is anticipating a wave of student enrollment growth that I pray never happens. The less children are exposed to this mess, the better.
In 2023, concerned citizens objected the board’s vote to adopt a highly suspicious ELA curriculum with DIE content. Ultimately, constituents were ignored for only speaking up the first time the topic appeared on the agenda. Soooo…race-based writing prompts are morally justified if no one repeatedly opposes them? (Hint: DVUSD Board President Paul Carver knows the answer).
Parental concerns resurfaced with a vengeance following the board’s approval of the General Statement of Assurance for Fiscal Year 2025-26. This “assurance” contradicts the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan—which directly violates Executive Orders to eliminate race ideology. Soooo…does President Trump need to attend the next board meeting and make a public comment before DIE/SEL is removed?
Echoing AZ Women of Action, I will add, “It’s a shame that any [CONSERVATIVE-led] school district would incorporate DEI.”
*Board President Carver needs to do better representing the conservatives who elected him. The “silent majority” is the only reason you’re in power.
VARYING DEGREES OF BRAINWASHING
There are varying degrees of DIE/SEL brainwashing across the Valley—right, left, and center. I never thought I’d see the day when the DOE did more than local school boards to remove DIE/SEL from our education system. Consider the strongly worded letter from the DOE Acting Assistant Secretary.
Educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise that the United States is built upon ‘systemic and structural racism’ and advanced discriminatory policies and practices. Proponents of these discriminatory practices have attempted to justify them…under the banner of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion,’ smuggling racial stereotypes and explicit race-consciousness into everyday training, programming, and discipline.
Maricopa County Superintendent Shelli Boggs also issued a letter notifying school districts of their legal obligation to comply with Executive Orders and drop DIE/SEL policies. It’s time to blow the whistle on Arizona districts that are not actively working to eliminate DIE/SEL. Call them, email them, visit them. If board members and administrators refuse to make changes or follow the law, report them using THIS LINK.
Listen below as I testify about the time someone wrote me a “reparation check”…
