One thought on “SAUSD School Board candidates forum set for 10/16 at a union hall”
  1. The first question we should be asking is WHO is the Santa Ana Youth & Government?
    It sounds like an extension of the BS organization that told Roman Reyna he didn’t need to finish school.

    Now, I know Brian Leal works closely with the “degree-less” Gerado Mouet, is this the future of Santa Ana, a bunch of under educated kids with spirit but ZERO speaking ability, little understanding of the rule of law?

    Sounds perfect if we are trying to promote PRO-GANG leader Valerie Amezcua. Who better to recruit for La Eme’ than a school board member.

    It helps that she runs interference for the shot callers at probation!
