From Cynthia Ramirez, Lead Parent Coordinator, Desert Trails Parent Union

Late this afternoon, the San Bernardino County Sun, one of our local newspapers, published an outrageous story that has no basis of truth. As someone who has been involved with the Parent Trigger campaign in our community from the beginning, I am deeply offended and insulted our volunteer efforts of the past two years are being twisted and diminished.

Today, we received a news report about a parent involved in a Parent Trigger campaign supported by our organization claiming Parent Revolution organizers “offered to pay parents to promote the ‘parent trigger’ movement nationwide.” Any allegations that Parent Revolution staff promised financial support or assistance are unfounded, defamatory, and quite frankly ludicrous on their very face.

Parents of the Watts-based Weigand Avenue Elementary School have worked for years to achieve positive change for their children's school. The day for change appears to have finally come!
