NEW: An investigation by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell found 52 of 60 potential noncitizens flagged by a error-prone federal system known as SAVE are actually citizens. Last week, SCOTUS said President Donald Trump's administration can use the tool. Read: www.votebeat.org/arizona/2026...

Maricopa County’s GOP recorder said he had found 60 noncitizens who had cast a ballot. Upon closer investigation, though, the real number is only eight.

Friends, is it concerning when a school board seeks to use the term “any basis” in their harassment policy instead of listing out specific protected classes? Might be innocuous clean-up, might be nefarious bigotry. Hard to tell these days.
Title
Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying

Review
September 15, 2026

Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are prohibited on school grounds and property, on school buses, at school bus stops, at school-sponsored events and activities, and through the use of electronic technology and electronic communication on school computers, networks, forums, and mailing lists.
Harassment means any unwelcome conduct by one student toward another student on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), or disabity any basis, including all federally protected classes, and that is sufficiently severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive so as to effectively deny a person equal access to the District's education program or activity.
Intimidation means any behavior by one student toward another student intended to induce fear of physical or emotional harm.
Bullying means any aggressive behavior by one student toward another student that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance and is repeated multiple times. Bullying may inflict physical, psychological, social, or educational harm or distress on a targeted student. It is not bullying when:
• Students of similar age, strength, and size quarrel or fight with each other.
• A student provokes another into a verbal or physical confrontation.
• A student acts aggressively toward another student in the absence of an imbalance of power.
