America First Precinct Project Chat

At the Aug.19th Chandler School Board meeting, there was a debate on “Land Acknowledgment”, the liberal belief modern peoples have stolen land once belonging to American Indians. Starting Sept. 9, '26, the CUSD Board plans to make a Land Acknowledgment at every Board meeting, and all school graduations. CUSD statement reads: “In 2025, the Chandler Unified School District acknowledged that the district is located on the ancestral land of the Piipaash, Akimel O’odham, Gila River, Salt River, Pima, Maricopa and Yaqui tribes. CUSD recognizes and respects the sovereignty of all Indigenous people, and understands the importance of a high-quality learning community that welcomes and connects all students to successful future pathways.” During public comment, Board member Kurt Rohrs left the dais and spoke as a taxpayer and Chandler resident. He said, “This is an arbitrary decision that was never discussed or approved by the board. There is no district policy that either requires or allows this. Land acknowledgment can be considered as a progressive socialist partisan political performance piece that has nothing to do with improving academic performance of our students." Rohrs says the adoption of a land acknowledgment violates two State Statutes, bearing a penalty of withholding of up to 10% of the monthly apportionment of State aid. https://www.chandlernews.com/santan/news/chandler-unified-board-split-over-land-acknowledgment/article_8d353588-7751-46dc-baa3-8035a9b28f94.html .................................................... Everyone tells me I need to use AI to help me write, so I asked Telegram to AI rewrite my article summary. I randomly selected what Telegram calls "Tribal" 🤣🤣🤣🤣, this is what it wrote: Me hear big talk. Aug. 19th, 2026. Chandler School Leaders meet. They talk "Land Acknowledgment". This is spirit belief. Modern men take land, Old Indian bones there long ago. Many leaders do this. Tempe, Kyrene, Mesa. They say "We see land" first. Sept. 19, '26, new rule. CUSD Board say "We no see land first". At all meetings, at all young ones leave school. CUSD words: "In 2025, we see old land. Piipaash, Akimel O’odham, Gila River. Salt River, Pima, Maricopa, Yaqui. We bow to their power. We want good learning. All young ones safe." Aug. 19th, Kurt Rohrs leave seat. He speak as big man. He say: "This is wild choice. No one vote for this. No law say do this. This is bad spirit show. No help for young ones learn. This break two big laws. State may take 10% of money."
