Not April Fools: Denver School Board votes Tay Anderson their vice president

Dec 2, 2021

With the Denver Public School Board firmly under union control, they’re already showing us exactly what they think about the kids they were elected to serve by doing this:

 

 

 

April fools did not come early. This actually happened in real life — the school board elected Anderson as their vice president, Chalkbeat reports.

The move was a vote of confidence in Anderson two months after he was censured by the previous board following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. The investigation found that allegations of sexual assault were unsubstantiated, but he was censured for other conduct uncovered by the investigation.

 

The president and vice president of the board have significant power to set the agenda for the board and meet more often than other board members with the superintendent.

Anderson was censured for making flirtatious contact with Denver students on social media and making “social media posts that could be perceived as intimidating witnesses in the investigation,” Chalkbeat reported earlier this year.

Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán was elected president of the new board, defeating former president Carrie Olson. The board declined to disclose all vote tallies.

Along with common sense, it appears transparency has also been tossed out the window.

PeakNation™ will remember just weeks ago that hundreds of Denver school kids signaled their vote of no confidence in Anderson after the censure by staging a walk-out and demanding his resignation.

After his censure, Anderson promised to work hard to win back Denver’s trust.

So far, he’s mostly just suing people, and demanding to get paid for being a public servant.

That seems to be enough for the new members of the Denver Public School board.
