When parents entrust their children to a school district, they deserve to know when a class includes graphic or sexually explicit material—before their child enrolls, not after they've been exposed to things they cannot unsee.
Following concerns about a dual-enrollment art course offered to Sanger High students (including my own son), I formally requested that this issue be placed on the school board agenda:
* July 20: Written request.
* August 11: Public request during a board meeting.
* August 12: Second written request.
To date, the superintendent and board president have neither acknowledged my requests nor placed this issue on the agenda.
When an elected trustee’s concerns are ignored, the community that trustee represents is silenced too.
The solution is straightforward: Update board policy to ensure dual-enrollment courses offered to minors are reviewed for age-appropriate implementation and that parents receive advance notice when instructional materials include significant mature, graphic, or sexually explicit content.
This would not interfere with college curriculum or academic freedom. It would simply establish clear expectations for transparency, informed parental decisions, and accountability—regardless of who is leading the district.
Our students deserve thoughtful oversight. Parents deserve transparency. And this community deserves to be heard.
Please attend tonight’s school board meeting at 6 p.m. and speak during open forum. Ask the board to place this issue on a future agenda and adopt a clear policy protecting parents’ right to make informed decisions.
If district leadership will not listen to one trustee, let them hear from the community.
Assignments for a Reedley College course attended by 14-17 year old high school students featured a "DIY Abortion" art display "Trans Injection Sites" and sexually-explicit displays.
