Oye, what is going on with our school boards?

Look, here's the deal: a school board member in the Deer Valley Unified School District, which is up there in the North Valley around Anthem and New River, made a Nazi salute during a meeting this week. This happened Thursday, May 28, 2026, during a scheduling dispute. Mijo, a *scheduling dispute*. You heard that right. It's not every day you see something like this in our local governance, and it just stops you in your tracks, you know?

These folks are supposed to be setting an example for our kids, for the future of Phoenix, and this is what we get? It’s a lot to process, especially when you think about all the diverse families and cultures that make up our community here. This isn't some far-off national news; this is happening right here, where our kids are going to school.

It’s a stark reminder that what happens at these local meetings matters. We gotta keep an eye on who we elect to these positions. What comes next for this board member and the district? That’s what we’ll be watching.

That's the Valley, baby — 115 degrees and we're still out here.
