The board members believed they were alone and were unaware that they were broadcasting the meeting live to parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the video, board member Kim Beede can be heard curing in response to a comment a parent had posted about her. \u201cAre we alone?\u201d Beede asked. \u201cB***h, if you\u2019re gonna call me out, I\u2019m gonna f**k you up. Sorry, that\u2019s just me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey forget there\u2019s real people on the other side of those letters that they\u2019re writing,\u201d said board member Lisa Brizendine. \u201cThey don\u2019t know what we know behind the scenes, and it\u2019s really unfortunate they want to pick on us because they want their babysitters back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI totally hear that because my brother had a delivery service for medical marijuana. The clientele were parents with their kids in school,\u201d board member Richie Masadas said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oakley Union Elementary School Board Meeting\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C3XaJHU7QlY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Parents started a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/registrar-of-voters-contra-costa-county-recall-oakley-union-elementary-school-district-board?recruiter=369615812&amp;utm_source=share_petition&amp;utm_medium=facebook&amp;utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_abi&amp;utm_term=psf_combo_share_abi&amp;recruited_by_id=de7c7c10-4d2f-11e5-b208-ab328545b966&amp;utm_content=fht-27419313-en-us%3A2\"><span>Change.org<\/span><\/a> <span>petition calling on the board to resign, citing their \u201cegregious behavior.\u201d The parents are calling for resignations instead of a recall vote \u2014 which they are prepared to fight for \u2014 because such a vote would cost the district money that \u201cshould be going to kids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey should no longer represent the parents, teachers, and children in this school district,\u201d the petition reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The school district\u2019s superintendent Greg Hetrick, who attended the virtual meeting but did not make any obscene comments, apologized in a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/registrar-of-voters-contra-costa-county-recall-oakley-union-elementary-school-district-board\/u\/28572816\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a> <span>for the board\u2019s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI will not make excuses for what happened or why it happened,\u201d Hetrick said. \u201cI am responsible and accountable and I am truly sorry for what took place \u2026 I know that our students deserve better from us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The comments were made as many parents in California \u2014 and across the nation \u2014 are fighting to reopen schools. The Biden White House has continuously moved the goalpost on how they plan to achieve reopenings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During a CNN town hall on Tuesday night, Biden contradicted Press Secretary Jen Psaki\u2019s statements about the administration\u2019s goal of reopening schools. Psaki originally told the White House press pool that the Biden administration\u2019s goal was to \u201chave the majority of schools, so that\u2019s more than 50 percent, open by day 100 of [Biden\u2019s] presidency. And that means some teaching in classrooms. So at least one day a week, hopefully, it\u2019s more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This statement appears contradictory to Biden\u2019s campaign pledge \u201cto bring the coronavirus pandemic under enough control to open most of the nation\u2019s schools\u201d during his first 100 days in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At the town hall, Biden said that Psaki\u2019s claims were wrong. \u201cThat\u2019s what was reported. That\u2019s not true,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThat was a mistake in the communications.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
