Representing a group of concerned citizens about fair and quality education, Eric Early appeared before the Board of the Santa Barbara Unified School District and spoke about its pending adoption of training programs to be provided by a nonprofit named Just Communities Central Coast. Detailed in Josh Grega’s Santa Barbara News-Press cover story titled, “School Board Threatened With Lawsuit Over Training Program,” Eric spoke out against three memoranda of understanding that purport to deal with diversity, inclusion and equity in schools, arguing that they were radical, discriminatory, and illegal. Early stated, “I’m here to tell you that the Board should consider long and hard and very carefully the legal exposure it will face if it enters these MOUs.”
