The conservative Temecula school board voted 3 to 1 to oust Jodi McClay, who served as the Temecula Valley Unified School District superintendent since June 2020.
“In their minds they’re doing something good,” said Allison Barclay, the sole board member who voted against terminating McClay’s contract. “But Jodi has been nothing but an exemplary leader in this district. She has led this district to where we are today.”The feud began when Gov. Gavin Newsom called the board president “ignorant” over comments regarding Harvey Milk, the slain gay activist and politician.
Barclay, a self-described moderate conservative, has consistently clashed with the other board members and voted for the new curriculum and against the banning of critical race theory. The three members who form the board’s more conservative majority — Jennifer Wiersma, Danny Gonzalez and Joseph Komrosky — voted to terminate McClay. Board member Steven Schwartz was absent as he was out of town, Barclay said., which claims to support parental rights, according to its website. The PAC endorses candidates who are against critical race theory as well as “forced LGBTQ+ acceptance.”, with the state’s chief executive calling board President Komrosky “ignorant.
“This isn’t Texas or Florida. In the Golden State, our kids have the freedom to learn. Congrats Mr. Komrosky you have our attention,”
