Support La Center School Board April 22nd!
Tickets Going Fast For Upcoming Patriots United Event!
Fellow Patriots, we are asking for your help to join us in supporting the La Center School Board, Superintendent, and staff and show up because they have had the courage to accurately represent our majority voice in Clark County! And they are facing loud opposition from a tiny group.
It has recently been placed on the hearts of a group of us community leaders and citizens to support the La Center School Board, Superintendent, and Staff who have chosen to do the right thing by putting the Parent's Rights first; by not withholding information from parents and not mandating the usage of pronouns, but instead foster an inclusive environment by simply asking for a child's name instead of their pronoun. The policy does not mandate the question nor use of pronouns, but instead allows staff to use the students' preferred pronouns and names if the student requests.
This need of support came about shortly after a newspaper article was written in the Reflector stating more than a dozen speakers came in opposition of the current policy. The article announced speakers included parents, religious leaders and community members. It went on to further say, no attendees spoke in favor of the policy during the proceedings. It was the Clark County Pride, a local LGBTQ+ advocacy group who encouraged people to attend the meeting and voice their concerns. (I have attached the article down below.)

Well, now we are asking those who oppose this group's efforts to come and support the board, superintendent, and staff by coming to the next La Center School Board meeting:
We are asking to either come and speak at the meeting for up to 3 minutes providing a supportive and uplifting speech (no need for anymore unnecessary division and we don’t need to belittle opposition),
or come and stand in support while the first speaker addresses the board.
LOCATION: La Center High School Commons
DATE: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025
TIME: 7 pm
Those who wish to address the board during the public comment period are asked to sign-up before 4pm, April 22nd, by emailing Tammy Lichliter at the District Office, tammy.lichliter@lacenterschools.org or by calling her (360)263-2131. You will be asked to provide your name, and the topic you would like to discuss even though there are some other details on the website. (You do not need to live in the district). Then Tammy will respond back in an email saying, “I have added you to the list of speakers.”
At this event you will he surrounded by great health information with your families best interest at heart and a HUGE opportunity to make a local difference! This event is going to sell out soon and we still have 6 weeks.
