Over the past decade the U.S. government school system has been steadily falling behind  the rest of the world, and it’s getting worse.

Following the COVID pandemic, the situation worsened significantly across the country.

Now this woke Arizona school board is choosing to prioritize this woke ideology over the staffing at their school.

Christian school cut from public school partnership

The public school system is facing staffing shortages, meanwhile a woman wearing cat ears on a school board is choosing the LGBTQ agenda over children in her district. 

Tamillia Valenzuela led a radical school board to make a shocking decision on February 23rd when they dissolved their relationship with a college that was helping keep them staffed. 

She said that Arizona Christian University didn’t seem to match with the school’s “values.”

Arizona Christian University had been under contract with the Washington Elementary school district to place their students in real world positions to gain experience. 

At Washington Elementary, that meant educators. 

Now the school will have to find a way to fill the teacher gap for their elementary students.

Valenzuela said that she was “disheartened” when she found out that the school had been partnering with a Christian university. 

“My concern, [is] when I go to Arizona Christian University’s website, [it says] ‘committed to Jesus Christ, accomplishing his will and advancements on earth as in Heaven,’” she said.

She added that she understands, “we are currently in a situation across the nation that we have a teacher shortage and recruiting…is really difficult.”

School board member fears the direct “impact” on other board members

Valenzuela just can’t see how the two school’s values line up. 

She said that their site says they believe that “Biblically-informed values…are foundational to Western civilization, including the centrality of family, traditional sexual morality, and lifelong marriage between one man and one woman.”

She questioned the purpose in “bringing [teachers] from an institution that is ingrained” in Christian values. 

Her thought is that it would “directly impact…board members who are part of the LGBT community.”

Valenzuela stated plainly that giving any space to Christians in the school would by nature exclude space for people of other faiths. 

She went on to say that the board needs to “get real with ourselves and look at who we’re making legal contracts with and the message that is sending to our community.”

She said that the school working with a Christian university makes her feel like she “could not be safe in this school district.” 

Other school board members shared her sentiment and one even condemned the university for requiring a statement of faith from their students.

School board says they are just defending a “protected class” from the university

Fox News contacted the school board for comment and more pointedly “whether they had bias against Christian beliefs.  

The school responded in a rather paradoxical manner.

They defended their actions saying, “the board’s decision to discontinue the partnership with Arizona Christian University was based on the board’s commitment to create a safe place for our LGBTQ+ students, staff, and community.

“This includes not knowingly entering into partnerships with any organization that explicitly discriminates against protected classes covered by our nondiscrimination policies,” they added.

So, they’re punishing a faith-based group that is a protected class out of fear of a different belief system. All while reducing the available faculty at an elementary school. 

This will likely be brought up in court soon.

California faces new threat of heavy snow, rain and floods that could put lives in 'great danger' NBC Universal CHANTAL DA SILVA AND PHIL HELSEL March 10, 2023, 6:03 AM

 

California faces new threat of heavy snow, rain and floods that could put lives in 'great danger'

California is facing a fresh battering from severe weather this weekend, with a winter storm expected to bring heavy snow, rain and the threat of floods to parts of the state, potentially putting "lives and property" in "great danger," forecasters have warned.

The storm is expected to affect the West Coast, particularly California, through Friday, bringing a "burst of heavy precipitation," the National Weather Service said.

The weather service’s Weather Prediction Center has issued a High Risk of excessive rainfall over California through Saturday morning, with severe, widespread flash flooding expected with the storm.

“Areas that normally do not experience flash flooding will flood,” the weather service said. “Lives and property are in great danger from Friday into Saturday morning,” it warned.

An “atmospheric river” already began moving into California on Thursday, raising the risk of floods, forecasters and other officials said.

“With the abundant rain coming from these atmospheric rivers, we will see flood impacts again,” Michael Anderson, the California state climatologist, said in a Thursday news briefing. He described some of the expected precipitation totals as “astounding.”

At least 10 rivers are expected to exceed their flood stages, according to the California Nevada River Forecast Center as of early Friday morning.

Heavy rain and high snow levels are likely across part of the state, with warm air associated with the storm expected to see rain falling on existing snowpacks up to 8,500 feet, the weather service said.

The highest snow levels and heaviest rainfall are expected to hit Central California, with "considerable flooding impacts" possible across parts of the central coast and San Joaquin Valley, the weather service said.

"Rain and snowmelt will lead to flooding," it warned, adding that the most significant snowmelt and overall flooding threat is expected below 5,000-foot elevation in areas with shallow snowpack. "Creeks and streams in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada will be most vulnerable to flooding from rain and snowmelt," it said.

Heavy wet snow is also expected at higher elevations, with parts of Northern California and the Sierra Nevada expected to see heavy, wet snow that could make travel difficult.

The threat of excessive rainfall is expected to drop significantly on Saturday, with the weather prediction center warning of a "Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall" over parts of California from Saturday into Sunday morning.

"The associated heavy rain will create localized areas of flash flooding, affecting areas that experience rapid runoff and burn scars," the weather service said.

The storm is one of a series of systems expected to batter the state in March, prompting California Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency on Wednesday to expand the state’s storm response and relief efforts.

Last week, Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in 13 counties amid brutal storms. The governor activated the California Guard and State Operations Center to deliver state support to county-led emergency response efforts and to help coordinate mutual aid from neighboring areas.

The latest state of emergency will expand state efforts to 21 more counties, including, "Butte, El Dorado, Fresno, Humboldt, Imperial, Inyo, Lake, Mendocino, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Yuba," according to a news release from Newsom's office.

“The state is working around the clock with local partners to deploy life-saving equipment and first responders to communities across California,” Newsom said in a statement. “With more dangerous storms on the horizon, we’ll continue to mobilize every available resource to protect Californians.”

The storm is expected to move out of the Rockies and onto the Plains, bringing showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley.

"The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes," the weather service said.

The northern half of the system is expected to bring heavy snow to parts of the Northern Plains on Friday, as well as over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley on Saturday. Rains are also expected to develop over parts of the Middle Mississippi Valley, with snowfall expected to make its way to the Great Lakes by Sunday.

The severe weather in California comes after a powerful winter storm that brought blizzard conditions and several feet of snow to the Southern California mountains in late February.

The heavy snowfall isolated communities and left some residents trapped in their homes. Wrightwood, a community of around 4,700, saw around 50 inches of snow, or a little more than 4 feet, according to the weather service.

Some mountain highways had just begun to reopen this week after being closed for more than 10 days.
