What do you make of Gavin Newsom now wanting credit for saying, yeah, we made some mistakes when it came to shutting the schools down without doing a full-on mea culpa? Because, okay, if you were wrong when you had essentially the entire power of state government where the legislature abdicated all of their power to the executive branch, you had complete control over what went on in this state, you made decisions that were very bad, that caused a great amount of harm to a large number of people, and you go, later on, now that you're running for president, oh yeah, I want a mulligan on that, without telling the people who were right all along, you know what, you were right, I was wrong, what can we learn from this so this never happens again? He never did that part of it.

No, he didn't.

But let's honestly face reality, too.

He would have never, ever opened our schools, even when he did, if he didn't get sued by parents.

It was parents that gathered together with organizations that were willing to back us parents, and we sued him.

That way, he had to reopen the schools.

Um, I'll go back to parents coming back to, you know, school boards when, yes, we have PTA, we have, which unfortunately has been hijacked as well, but we have parents in the classroom, room moms, art moms, dads, PE moms, dads.

How would you prod these unions, which have huge amounts of control over what their members do when they're on the clock, to update the curriculum, to update the requirements of what classes you have to take to graduate, all of those sorts of things, so that California can provide the educated workforce to this industry that they're going to need moving forward?

It seems like an unbelievable conflict of interest to me.

What's happened? Why has it been so bad for so long that now society is getting warped by it, the lack of education?

Yeah, for me, I'll be honest.

It's a national push.

We have great teachers, but unfortunately, their union is they have these yearly meetings and this is what they come up with.

They make kids social warriors.

They're taking kids out on the picket lines.

They're doing all these things that have nothing to do with reading, writing and math.

incident that that triggered this fire?

Sonya?

Absolutely.

It's a cry for help.

It's a cry that I heard many years ago when I started paying attention.

California, unfortunately, has codified in policy this very failure that we're talking about.

I have to give props to Defending Ed.

They've been on the front lines of exposing this.

So a state superintendent will be like pretty much powerless, even if you win, right?

Do you think that Gavin and the Democrats are seeing the polling numbers, Sonia, that you're gonna win this and they go, hmm, we'll just come up with an appointed position and she'll have no power if she wins? That's what I think happened.

That's exactly what happened.

They're panicking.

They've done the polling, like you said.

They've seen since January that we have picked up a movement to protect our kids and make sure education is focused on reading, writing, and math.

They know that I'm the biggest fighter that has fought against them when it comes to protecting our children and the public school system that they have used and they weaponized.

to destroy this generation.

Is that the goal with this position?

Tell us about you.

Yeah.

It's so true.

I mean, we were all looking up to each and every one of us that were just a voice, um, including you, Kira.

Our mom group was, like, sharing your videos.

"Oh my God, she's like us." And that was the most beautiful part, is we were all coming together organically to fight the same mission: to protect our kids.

Um, some of us knew more than others, and some of us understood the agenda that was attacking our children more than others.

We'll get in trouble."

As a school board president and candidate now for state superintendent, what does that tell you about where California's education establishment has gone, especially with the unions?

Yeah, so we are at the bottom.

Again, we got an F. Um, we saw the results even come out yesterday.

We've been screaming from the rooftops that this gender ideology whi- which they are being investigated for and keeping secrets from parents has been happening, especially in these larger districts like San Diego Unified, although they weren't named on there.

I'm telling you right now, these are the districts, um, alongside San Francisco Unified and the rest of them that are hiding secrets at a larger scale.

Um, us parents have done the record request.

We see how many secrets are being kept from parents.

Sonia, if federal charges do come, what happens next to the conservative effort to actually win California, and what does it mean for your race in November?

And if that's the attitude that they have, there's no fiscal responsibility anywhere.

No, you're right.

And the state has been bailing them out because you'll see all these fancy little nice grants that they package up.

They make them take it.

because they need the money.

And that's how they survive until the next grant comes along.

Or, you know, they're passing bonds for things that they should have, the school boards are passing bonds on to the taxpayers again, asking for more money when we had enough money.

And what do we do to make sure that never happens again?

Was there also extra cash for this specific program for the ones getting diplomas over in China? So it was more than just the money per pupil? Fill us in.

Dan, this is why we are actually praying and demanding that the Riverside County DA opens a full blown criminal investigation because the allegations that this state audit found on the surface are already horrifying.

But can you imagine the deeper you go into, the more you'll find how this is completely tied into the systemic failure that we have in our california schools look a lot of like you said a lot of sweetheart deals are being done uh that needs to end um we are finding out that these um you know at the admin of these school districts took some really nice trips over there right fully paid Since I put that story out, I will tell you I've had people that are scared to come forward, but they had said they were offered leave of absence from California schools to go over there and have a nice wealthy income for a year and then have their jobs to come back here in California.

Now, these are all allegations, but coming back from me actually exposing this and then reporters and people inside the system coming forward to me, I am Grossed out.

I always think, you know, today is another day where I can't be any more grossed out by Gavin Newsom's California.

But I am completely grossed out because our kids are failing at reading, writing and math.

And these people are profiting and they're harming our kids and doing deals with, you know, Chinese elite.

That's a new superintendent for that school district, right?

You were ecstatic, almost like screaming through the halls of a building, that the Supreme Court just struck this down.

I know.

I had everybody in the airport at that moment literally staring at me.

It was so exciting.

Right before I went into the plane and losing Wi-Fi, this huge wind came out.

I mean, this is a landmine victory for parents here in California.

It's what we've been saying all along.

Few seconds left, I'll give you the final word, dear.

to tell

CIF how they failed our daughters.

They know it.

They admitted they made the mistake dating all the way back to 2012.

They've done nothing to fix it.

Actually, they made it a joke.

They let a boy take a place on a podium.

By all means, make your pitch to become the California State Superintendent because if you could make it, I know you would turn things around in our public schools.
