Arizona school board president kept files on domestic terrorists
Otherwise known as parents who might have opposed him in some way:
The president, or possibly his father, appears to have kept a dossier on 47 parents who dared to speak out against his policies at school board meetings — a dossier complete with Social Security numbers, background checks, a divorce paper, mortgage documents, trade certifications, and screenshots of Facebook posts.
There’s a petition calling for his resignation, but he denies personal involvement with this. At any rate, someone seems to have been collecting such information:
The dossier also includes videos showing a man taking photographs of parents and children in the hours before a school board meeting. “Somewhere around here we have a private investigator who’s writing down all of their plates,” the man says in the video. “They don’t know it’s me … I covered up my license plate.”
Once again I am reminded of how the internet has facilitated this sort of practice, both in its compilation and in the organization, storage, and dissemination of the information. It’s not just the federal government, either, although it certainly helps that entity gather a huge amount of information on all of us and also to store it and to locate it when the time seems right. It’s also local government and private individuals, and activists have jumped at the chance.
If it includes SS numbers, isn’t that identity theft? If it includes dossier photos of people and homes, well…. isn’t that felony stalking? If it includes any information about children – and photos – isn’t that also a felony? I wonder if any of those parent sit on a Grand Jury…..
I’d be filing suit in a Civil Court and asking that the father be arrested for stalking, labeled as a sex offender, and forbidden from school zones.
@Aggie:If it includes SS numbers, isn’t that identity theft?
That horse long ago left the barn. SSNs are just about worthless for identifying people, partly because so many are stolen but also because so many people get them wrong and don’t report them consistently. (40,000 people once used 078-05-1120 as their SSN because it was on a sample card included with a wallet.)
It’s only identity theft if he tries to apply for credit cards with them or something. There could be a FERPA issue though because you’re only supposed to use that information for legitimate purposes and a private enemies list is not, I believe, contemplated in that legislation.
Moving one step closer to a terrible time of reckoning.
But don’t worry, Boys! Trump has got our back!

“Within the decadent halls of a Moorish-style building, a man on Saturday received an award for introducing a bill that would effectively criminalize traditional views about the nature of marriage and the biological basis of sex. Under the so-called “Fairness for All Act,” doctors refusing to administer puberty blockers to gender dysphoric children would be open to legal liability for discrimination. The bill would codify radical gender ideology and empower the federal government to act as its enforcer. The ceremony also launched a first-of-its-kind “Pride Coalition” designed to cater to the sexual and gender identity politics of the LGBTQ movement.
The scene of this soiree was actually Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s headquarters, where the Republican National Committee announced its partnership with the Log Cabin Republicans ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Our “man” was Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, whose bill has the support of nearly two dozen House Republicans. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who Trump endorsed to remain chair, received the “Majority Maker” award at the event, where he himself was the guest of honor. Speaking to reporters that evening, former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell denounced Pat Buchanan as a bigot. “In 1992, I was working on the Bush-Quayle re-election campaign on national staff, and I sat and listened to Pat Buchanan speak at the Houston Republican Convention,” he said. “[Buchanan] outlined a strategy where gay people were not welcomed in the Republican Party.” In other words, Grenell praised Trump for his shift toward the GOP establishment (Bush-Quayle) and away from a genuinely anti-establishment position (Buchanan)… ”

“We’ll have to burn down the country *and* turn out your sons as catamites to save the Republic.”
So, according to this, the board members of the Scottsdale Unified School District make $0…, nothing, zip, nada.

Why does one fight so hard to keep such a job? The possibility of a massive corruption and kickback scheme comes to mind…
I have not seen such allegations, but nothing else makes sense to me. In any case, that is something that needs to be investigated. I looked at salaries fo school board members and found this:

They are modest on average, but most are not a full-time job.
“Why does one fight so hard to keep such a job? The possibility of a massive corruption and kickback scheme comes to mind…”
That’s certainly a possibility but I think that ideological fanaticism is a far likelier explanation. No person, possessing the least amount of common sense can doubt that sexually explicit materials do not belong in schools that serve prepubescent children. Nor can teaching children that the color of their skin makes them inherently racist.
So the school boards, administrators and teachers know this and yet fight to keep the indoctrination of materials actually harmful to children in the schools. It’s far more malicious than simply ordinary corruption.
Geoffrey,
Once again, naif or nave. In this case, I wouls suspect the latter first, but you could well be right.
GB. Hit it on the head. But I’d separate malicious into two categories.
One is the moron who really thinks this is progress for kids. I can see the innocently bewildered look from as far back as…maybe thirty years. Why isn’t this good for children? And they believe it. But they know it won’t fly openly.
The other one is to destroy society and facilitate the revolution.
Is there any doubt this is happening where you live, too?
“There’s a petition calling for his resignation, but he denies personal involvement with this…”
Hmm, that story is going to be a tough sell.

“Jann-Michael Greenburg, president of the Scottsdale Unified School District, sent parent Kim Stafford an email that inadvertently included a screenshot and link to a Google Drive file in which he accused her of being anti-Semitic over comments she made about billionaire George Soros, the Daily Caller reported.
The news outlet said it had reviewed the since-deleted Google Drive, which had been available to anyone who had the link.
Stafford shared the URL with various people, including another parent, Amanda Wray, who told the Daily Caller she was “disgusted” when she noticed images of her young daughters.
“I think we identified 47 people that were background checked, divorce decrees, Social Security numbers, property records, mortgages,” added Wray, who noted that the Google Drive included cruel memes., ”
The news outlet said it had reviewed the since-deleted Google Drive, which had been available to anyone who had the link.”
This guy is 27 years old, lives with his father who rides his motorocycle around to Scottsdale schools and takes pictures of parents. And their children. Apparently this guy’s father, or if not his father than probably a private investigator, have also collected financial information.
“’But he has pictures of my vacation home, property records. I’m not a political opponent, I’m an involved parent and that is threatening to me and it makes me wonder why and what he was planning to do with those photos,” she said.
“I think we identified 47 people that were background checked, divorce decrees, Social Security numbers, property records, mortgages,” added Wray, who noted that the Google Drive included cruel memes.'”
How would Daddy know which parent’s pictures to take, and whose records to dig up, if his freakish boy didn’t tell him?
But we’re supposed to believe him when he said he wasn’t involved, when the reason this came to light was he was actually looking at the Google drive when he sent a concerned mother a threatening email and outed himself.
Yeah, right.
So, this guy is a Soros fan; how’d he hear about the comments? Or did he read about them somewhere. And if he hired a PI who paid for him? Did he spend school board money?
How does it feel being censored for talking about these concerns? Good?
That’s a good lesson for conservatives that banned Flat Earthers. Keep doing what you do, more incoming.
