Left-wing activists find a home in the embattled school district
In what some are regarding as, on the one hand an act of defiance, while on the other hand an affirmation of the activist deep state within district administration, the Canby School District has quietly hired a person who is presumably a replacement for
Autumn Foster who resigned from the district shortly after the Northwest Observer reported on her
posting vulgar comments about former President Donald Trump and actively working to seek the termination of a Newberg School District board member.
It appears that Kristen Wohlers has been hired for the position and the Canby School District has her name listed on the
District Staff Directory, but does not have a picture up, nor a job title listed next to her name.
This story started when the Newberg School District voted to remove political symbols like BLM and “gay pride†flags so that teachers and students could concentrate on school subjects. But the school board voted to remove all political flags and symbols -- although there have been no reports of any “Proud Boy†or “III%†flags ever making an appearance in Newberg schools.
The Newberg School District faced a firestorm of criticism, including that of Autumn Foster who was at the time employed by the nearby Canby School District as the Communication Director. Foster has since resigned.
Apparently, the Canby School District approves of Communications Directors who are gifted in the art of communication via social media, especially supporting left-wing causes, as you can see from the included posts.
