The broke the story of an alleged racial incident at Santa Barbara Junior High School which resulted in the Principal taking a week’s leave.

Is that the end?

What do you think?

Personally- this triggers the F&$k out of me because it sounds as though the principal couldn’t have handled this worse.

The email he wrote to parents is what we posted for you to see. It was sent to us to read.

Follow and click on the link in bio for the full Indy article.

Do better Santa Barbara.
Do SO SO SO much better.

broke the news of another racist incident in Santa Barbara - this one happening at the Santa Barbara Junior High.

Most people were informed of the incident by an email written to all parents after the principal returned from a one week leave.

Personally- I can’t imagine if such bad judgement was shown by the principal himself- the very person the entire SBJHS community looks to for leadership- this cannot and should not be the resolution.

So many of you have privately DM’ed me.

Here is the email he wrote. And the link to the Indy’s article is in our bio.

Come on Santa Barbara- do better. Do so much much much better and don’t tolerate these situations.

Follow and PLEASE let us know in comments what you think. ⬇️

Today and the days that follow will feel impossible. With this incomprehensible decision- try to remember your power rests in your vote. Local politics is EVERYTHING. Please practice all the self care you need today- the road ahead will require a warrior’s spirit.

I’ll never understand how people think they can tell a woman she HAS to grow a baby in her body if she doesn’t want to. Agree? Then VOTE in November. And be heard at De la Guerra Plaza. 5pm.

KETANJI is officially in the hot seat.

Make no mistake- history is being written.

If confirmed, KBJ will be making rulings on issues that once began locally in towns just like Santa Barbara.

So far, she’s the epitome of grace under fire.

We are watching.

And we are routing for her.

Are you?
