July 13, five days before a regular TVUSD board meeting to consider the proposed curriculum for adoption, Governor Newsom posted a tweet calling TVUSD school board members extremists and threatened to fine them for their incompetence for not adopting the curriculum favored by Sacramento. He said, “California is stepping in.”

His tweet charged that the school board rejected a specific book because it mentioned Harvey Milk, which, according to TVUSD Board President Dr. Komrosky, isn’t true and Milk is not mentioned in the school book. Milk is actually mentioned only in the support materials. Milk is reported in a biography to have been a 33-year-old pederast with a 16-year-old boyfriend, Jack Galen McKinley Dr. Komrosky said, “ What is also unfortunate is that…he has elected to publish this threatened action ahead of the District’s hard work on this matter that will be come to fruition in just a few days.”

In a press release, Newsom wrote, “Cancel culture has gone too far in Temecula: radicalized zealots on the school board rejected a textbook used by hundreds of thousands of students and now children will begin the school year without the tools they need to learn.”

Dr. Komrosky explained that this, as well, is not true in a submitted response to Governor Newsom’s July 13, 2023 Tweet: “I speak personally here and not on behalf of the entire board when I say, it is unfortunate that Governor Newsom and others have seized upon an action by the Temecula Valley Unified School expressly authorized by the California Legislature and mischaracterized not only what has occurred, but why.
