What I'm not seeing out of this board here today, School officials briefed you behind closed doors, handed you a message to sell a tax hike to voters, and told you to stay quiet. You said no. You wrote the truth. And for that, The board censured you, stripped your committee assignments, adopted a written gag rule, and silenced an elected official from speaking freely to the public she represents. They silenced an elected official for telling the truth. That's exactly what I'm running against. Across the state in Rockford, school officials secretly encouraged a young girl to adopt male identity without ever telling her parents. (01:11–01:20)
