VIDEO: Mark Stegeman ousted as TUSD board president after racist remarks

Yes, you may have already heard the news, but only on the Three Sonorans can you regularly see how things went down for yourself, not just a 5 second highlight or sporadic video coverage.

At the August 23rd, 2011 special meeting the TUSD board voted to oust Mark Stegeman from his role as board president. This comes after allowing a racist tirade to take place calling for civil war and bloodshed and then allowing this talk to continue even after one of the Latina board members was flipped off.

As if that was not bad enough, Mark Stegeman also testified in Phoenix last Friday and issued his own racist remarks in official testimony by calling the Mexican-American Studies program in TUSD a cult that has the teachers indoctrinating the students.

1. Sweet!

Now...I would call this a "grass-roots effort". No "koch bros" or armfield BS...simply the people expressing their wishes.
