Dear Natalie Garcia,
I am a Santa Ana resident and a teacher in SAUSD. I am a member of the teacher union, although I completely disagree with what they are doing.
As you seek to raise money for the police in Santa Ana, you are missing the root of the problem. The root of the problem is not the lack of funding,
although that is important. The root of the problem is that the teacher union is teaching our future leaders (CHILDREN) to hate the police through the
books and curriculum they are bringing into our schools. This book: THE HATE U GIVE is a required reading for 9th graders in Santa Ana for Ethnic Studies under
“Cultural Relativism” Here are excerpts from the book filled with “F*** the cops.” https://interfaith4kids.com/index.php/our-media/explicit-books-in-orange-county-schools-grades-6-12
Here are books in our elementary schools painting cops as racist. https://booklooks.org/data/files/Book%20Looks%20Reports/S/Something%20Happened%20in%20Our%20Town.pdf
The California Dpt of Education recommends “Advocates for Youth” to our students statewide and ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH also writes a lot of our Sex Ed curriculum. https://www.advocatesforyouth.org/resources/health-information/rights-respect-responsibility-a-k-12-sex-education-curriculum/
Advocates for Youth RECRUITS and PAYS students to be activists to DEFUND THE POLICE. https://interfaith4kids.com/index.php/our-media/documents/public-education-trains-students-political-activism-defund-police-reinvest-funds-for-sexual-rights
I wrote an article for the OC Register about the Teachers Union Hypocrisy because I am a former Peace Officer of Orange County. https://interfaith4kids.com/index.php/our-media/bad-teachers-are-a-bigger-threat-to-students-than-school-police
The SAUSD board members not only are non-supportive of Police, two of them will not even say the pledge of allegiance or place their hand over their heart during flag salutes at the start of board meetings. This is Trustee Torres and Trustee Bustos. I can send you a speech given by a resident about this lack of respect shown by our SA elected Leadership.
So money is only a surface problem… the ROOT of the problem is that the teachers union (Calif Teachers Association) and their endorsed candidates is teaching children at young ages to hate the police and to hate America because both are systemically racist.
Feel free to contact me if you need more evidence because I have A LOT!
Thank you,
Brenda Lebsack
