DESCRIPTION:
download PDF (573.3 kibibytes) A firm believer that public schools are the cornerstone of democracy, preparing all our children to follow their dreams, Teri was a public high school teacher of English in Irvine for 40+ years. During that time, she was the advisor of the first ever high school chapter of Amnesty International and an active member of Irvine Teachers Association, serving in various roles and retiring as President of ITA in July 2021. Since then, she has helped to create Supporters of Public Education—Orange County, to support and protect school board members who follow the laws regarding Covid safety, CHYA and ethnic studies curricula, and civil public discourse.

A coordinated national campaign is underway to undermine public schools to replace them with a network of religious and/or money-driven schools, funded by taxpayer dollars. This effort is very much evident in Orange County where charter schools are approved by the current OC Board of Education majority even when the local districts and OC Department of Education have recommended the charters be denied because their plans are not viable. Some of these charters are using curriculum devised by Hillsdale College, an evangelical college in Michigan, whose curriculum is being used in many states to omit some of what is required instruction in California for reproductive health, social/emotional learning, and ethnic studies.. This presentation will provide information about what is happening in OC and what we can do to preserve public schools in their efforts to serve all students.
