Please read below and show up to support this important action.  Numbers are more critical than t-shirts, but If you have an SD4GVP, Brady or Moms t-shirt, please wear it.     Where:  Cajon Valley Union School District, 750 East Main Street, El Cajon, 92020 When:  Tuesday, April 10 at 5:00 pm What:  School Board Meeting where we plan to voice our concerns.  Why:   The day of the student walkouts in March, teaching intern Margaret Morghen sat in solidarity with a group of Cajon Valley students who were on detention for walking out of their classes for 17 minutes. Days later, Margaret was fired and banned from ever applying to work in the Cajon Valley schools for providing a quote about her activity on that day, when interviewed by the Union Tribune.       In contrast, Jim Miller, one of that district's Board members, a lifetime NRA member and a founder of the SD Gun Owners PAC, stated in a letter that "tragedies such as Parkland are used to weaken and eliminate citizen's 2nd amendment rights" and that he would "...oppose assaults on those 2nd amendment rights." His letter did not express any concerns about student safety.      This is wrong. Someone who supports students advocating for safety is fired and banned while someone who, in his own words, values 2nd amendment rights over student safety continues to serve on the board that is responsible for student welfare. It's time to re-evaluate our priorities. Look forward to seeing you on the 10th at 5:00.
