On February 23rd, Arizona elementary school board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted Arizona Christian University for teaching its students traditional Judeo-Christian values.

During a district council meeting, Valenzuela argued before the Washington Elementary School District that the council should deny a request from ACU to renew the 11-year-long teacher hiring contract. She said that the renewal could have negative effects on “herself and the other two board members who are a part of the LGBTQ community.”

NEW—Arizona school board member Tamillia Valenzuela, while wearing cat ears, says her district should reject hiring teachers with Christian values.
