A “bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent queer black Latina” member of an Arizona school board — who wears cat ears — recently said she opposes having student teachers from a local Christian college in district schools due to their beliefs.
According to a Fox News report, Tamillia Valenzuela of the Washington Elementary School District Governing Board allegedly “blasted” the district’s now-dissolved years-long relationship with Arizona Christian University in part due to the institution’s belief in Jesus Christ and how such could affect the LGBTQ community.
“While I full-heartedly believe in the religious freedom and people being able to practice whatever faith that they have, I had some concerns regarding looking at this particular institution,” Valenzuela (pictured) said.
