"EQUITY CANNOT BE CONFUSED WITH POLITICAL ACTIVISM" * 06-29-22 * CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

THIS IS GINA BAX ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET. A SUPERHERO MOM. A GENUINE CARING INDIVIDUAL WHO IS A GIVER AND NOT A TAKER. SHE BELIEVES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES OF THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN UNDER THE ALTERNATIVE. IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO HER WORDS, THERE IS NO AGENDA. NO HIDDEN MEANING. IT’S JUST THE TRUTH. SHE CAME BEFORE THE CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD TO SPEAK HER STORY AND DEFEND WHY SHE REJECTS THE “EQUITY” BIAS TAUGHT UNDER THE SOCIAL JUSTICE/CRITICAL RACE AUTHORITARIAN IDEOLOGIES. SHE WAS PERSONALLY CALLED OUT IN A SOCIALIST PAPER FOR HAVING A PERSONAL HIDDEN AGENDA. HER ONLY PERSONAL AND NOT SO HIDDEN AGENDA? PROTECTING HER KIDS. PROTECTING THE WONDERFUL TEACHERS OF ROSEDALE. STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH. RALLYING FOR TRANSPARENCY AGAINST TYRANNY AND ANYTHING THAT STANDS AGAINST DEMOCRATIC IDEALS. TRUTH, HONESTY, INTEGRITY. THAT’S GINA BAX AND THIS IS HER RESPONSE TO THOSE WHO INTEND TO TEAR HER DOWN. I AM STANDING WITH GINA.

FOR ANYONE WHO HASN’T LIVED IN A TRUE SOCIALIST, MARXIST, COMMUNIST COUNTRY UNDER TOTALITARIAN RULE, YOU HAVE ZERO TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATION OF “EQUITY”. IF YOU LEARNED ABOUT SOCIALISM IN A UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, YOU THINK YOU KNOW, BUT YOU DON’T. BECAUSE IF YOU DID, THERE IS NO WAY YOU WOULD SEE ROSEDALE ELEMENTARY AS A SCHOOL WITH AN “EQUITY BIAS”. THIS BEAUTIFUL DUAL IMMERSION SCHOOL IS THE MOST DIVERSE SCHOOL IN THE CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT!

THIS WHOLE “JUSTICE FOR JOANA” MOVEMENT OR PROTEST IS ABOUT A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, WHO HAPPENS TO BE HISPANIC, WAS CALLED OUT AND DISCIPLINED FOR BRINGING HER PERSONAL BIAS ON EQUITY INTO THE SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM. SHE BELIEVED THAT “EQUITY” OR IN HER CASE SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTIVISM, WAS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERED. IF SHE DIDN’T GET HER WAY, OR IF HER PROGRAMS AND APPROACH WERE QUESTIONED, SHE WOULD IMMEDIATELY REJECT THEM AND CRY “RACIAL BIAS”. GO RUN SCREAMING TO THE MEDIA AND OUTSIDERS WHO HAD NO CONTEXT AND BRING THEM INTO HER PERSONAL WAR. THIS IS THE TYPICAL EGO-CENTRIC, ME BEFORE THEE, AUTHORITARIAN BELIEF SYSTEM THAT RUINS EVERYTHING. IT IS A CANCER. IT SPREADS AND STARTS TO KILL OFF ANYTHING IT LATCHES ONTO. SO, THIS HAS TO STOP. IT HAS GONE WAY TOO FAR. THIS SPANISH SPEAKING IMMERSION SCHOOL WHERE MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND FROM COLUMBIA HAS SPENT 11 YEARS AS SHE RAISED HER 5 KIDS THROUGH THAT SCHOOL. SHE VOLUNTEERS AT THAT SCHOOL. SHE VOLUNTEERS IN HER COMMUNITY. SHE ASKS FOR NOTHING. BUT SHE IS PUBLIC ENEMY #1 BECAUSE SHE PUSHED BACK ON THE SOCIAL JUSTICE/CRITICAL RACE THEORY/SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING BULLSHIT.

SHE NAILS IT ALL WITH THE ONE LINE: “EQUITY CANNOT BE CONFUSED WITH POLITICAL ACTIVISM”. THIS LESSON NEEDS TO TAUGHT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN CHICO UNIFIED IS THE OPPOSITE. POLITICAL ACTIVISM USES “EQUITY” AS A RALLYING CRY IF THEY DON’T GET THEIR WAY. IT’S IMMATURE AND DESTRUCTIVE. IT’S TIME TO STOP SUPPORTING THIS BEHAVIOR OR IDEOLOGY. WE NEED ADULTS IN THE ROOM WHO CAN CALL BALLS AND STRIKES AND HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR REGARDLESS OF RACE, GENDER, HERITAGE, ETC. WE HAVE LET A SMALL MINORITY RUN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO THE DEMISE OF THE MAJORITY. FOCUS ON ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. FAMILY. CULTURE. HUMANITY.

REJECT ALL ELSE.
