Culture Warriors
Board Pres. Leandra Blades (a wannabe rising political star) & her running mates spend more time on national culture war issues than at our school sites. With Trustee Todd Fraizer (Area 4) on the school board for another 2 years, Blades is trying to cement a 4-1 far right extremist board majority that does not represent the views of most residents, Republican, Democrat, Independent or otherwise, in our area. Unlike their opponents, they also all have career aspirations that would benefit from the name recognition from being on the school board.
Leandra organized these for months before she was elected to the School Board, and even after, as you can see here.
Just Google her name and "Girl's Trip." On Jan 6, she was asked to hold a fire extinguisher.
She got caught setting up her under age son to illegally sign a petition.
She also walked with the OC Board of Education members who voted a charter school into our district, despite our school board turning it down.
(L-R Blades, Ken Williams, Madison Miner, Mari Barke)
Walking against the OUSD Recall with Madison Miner (they lost).
Limited government and individual freedom are treasured, except when you speak up against her. Robust economy does not require budgeting and plans before moving ahead with multimillion dollar vanity projects funded with taxpayer dollars.
Biblically conservative folks only, please, at this event.
April 2024
If you want more of the same the next 4 years, look to Blades' friends, candidates Maria Stubbs & Ryan James Miller.
Securing endorsements and pushing out Marilyn Anderson, then secretly photographing Anderson and her supporters leaving the room so they could be identified and publicly called out across social media.
Notice, LB's supporters kindly disguised their own faces but published everyone else's on various social media sites.
Stubbs' social media thugs/cheerleaders are friends of Blades.
We are unaware if Stubbs brings any school-related qualifications to the position she seeks. On her media, she doesn't even list experience volunteering in a classroom.
In Aug. 2024, taking her cues from Blades, Stubbs reposted a video taken in secret at a rally for her opponent and frequently laughs at anyone expressing different views.
Another inspirational, entrepreneurial podcaster, like current Board Trustee Todd Frazier. We also don't know what, if any, experience he has volunteering in our schools as he has never mentioned it on his campaign materials.
He is a big fan of USI, though.
