The superintendent for Scottsdale Unified School District is facing calls to be fired, though many have come to his defense. MORE ⬇️
This all stems from comments Dr. Scott Menzel made in 2019 before he was in Scottsdale. Comments were known to SUSD before he was hired, where he has called for deeper discussions on racial equity in education.Republican Representative, Joseph Chaplik, of Legislative District 3 spoke outside the Arizona State Capitol Thursday.
If you look at his actual comments, Menzel said,"There's a misperception that educational equity is really only for ethnically and racially diverse districts. But White people have racial identity as well, and in fact, problematic racial identity that we typically avoid.” Marsh was a teacher at SUSD for years."It is wildly, wildly inappropriate for a legislature to impede on the local control of our elected governing board to call for Dr. Menzel's termination.”
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction and some Legislative Representatives are abusing their power and official communication to target our District and its leader. Their claims are false and present more 'fringe theater.' Their attempts to end Dr. Menzel’s tenure with the District and his career are appalling.
