The Temecula Valley Unified School District, though a relatively small school system (approximately 26,000. students), has just made a huge difference in the lives of every family in the country that believes in parental choice and in preventing the promotion of the Critical Race Theory agenda.
In 2022, TVUSD chose to take on the dominant leftist politics of California through two courageous actions. They banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in their schools and required school staff members to notify parents immediately if any student identifies as a gender other than the one on their birth certificate. Â This policy is nearly identical to policies previously approved by both the Chino Valley and Murrieta Valley School Districts in California.
The reaction was as could be expected. California Attorney General Rob Bonta opened an investigation, followed by a lawsuit being served on TVUSD by the Temecula Valley Educators Association and a group of political activists. This group of activists asked for an immediate injunction against TVUSD. Â On Friday, February 23, a California court ruled in favor of TVUSD. The court affirmed the districtâs parental notification policy as well as their policy of prohibiting the teaching of CRT.
âThis is a win for commonsense, parents, and the safety of students,â said Robert Tyler, president of Advocates for Faith and Freedom (AFF), which represented TVUSD. Â âTVUSD is committed to providing a quality education free from political agendas and free from divisive curriculum.â Â Mariah Gondeiro, vice president of AFF, said: âThis ruling vindicates the actions taken by the TVUSD School Board, who put the rights of parents and the safety of students over the wishes of special interest groups.â
Amanda Savage, the plaintiffâs attorney, has already vowed to appeal the ruling, which she says âputs Temecula in the same league as Texas and Florida with respect to censorship on ideological grounds.â
This process of fighting for what most of the nationâs populace believe are commonsense rights is not new to Tyler and his team at AFF. Â They were at the forefront of fighting for religious exemptions against vaccine mandates; represented hundreds of houses of worship (and our temple) in the fight to stay open during the pandemic; and are currently fighting the county of Santa Clara for geo-fencing a Calvary Church in San Jose and tracking their congregantsâ location through their phones. Â AFF is a champion for all of us, and it is a blessing to call Robert Tyler a friend…
