Shouting matches, arrests and fed up parents: How school board meetings became ground zero

in politics

When Barb Mozdzen opened last month's school board meeting in Chandler, Arizona, for public comment, she had a caveat.

While many attendees indicated they were at the meeting to discuss “critical race theory,” the topic was not actually on the agenda that day.

In fact, critical race theory wasn’t being taught in Chandler’s schools, and neither the board nor administration had discussed the possibility of implementing it into the curriculum, said Mozden, the board president.

In the following hour, an attendee said he saw no distinction between critical race theory and equity trainings. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk said the board was “stomping on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr." And, outside, the chair of the right-wing Patriot Party of Arizona, Steve Daniels, was arrested.
