The One Temecula Valley Political Action Committee (PAC) is sounding the alarm over potential Brown Act violations and the Temecula Valley Unified School District’s (TVUSD) proposed engagement with Murrieta-based law firm Advocates for Faith and Freedom (AFF). A special board meeting to consider the agreement is scheduled for Tuesday, September 17. 1TVPAC is encouraging members of the community to attend the 8:45 a.m. meeting to express concern.
Public schools are in the business of offering education, not enforcing it at gunpoint. Too often, districts treat parental opt-outs like a threat to the system, when in reality they’re just a reflection of choice.
If parents want to pull their kids out of health class, history lessons, literature, locker rooms, or extracurriculars, let them. It’s not the district’s role to force feed knowledge to unwilling families.
When ideologues seize local school boards, they don’t just inflame meetings. They run up bills. A first-of-its-kind study from UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access tallied the national price tag of these culture-war fights—legal fees, investigations, security, PR, and staff time—and found U.S. districts spent about $3.2 billion in 2023–24 responding to politically manufactured conflict. That’s money not spent on teachers, tutoring, arts, buses, or repairs.
