Haitz’ Hate: On CHSSA, Curriculum, and Local Control
Haitz says she stands for local control, while taking marching orders from a shadowy cabal of far-right front-range education activists led by Brad Miller, and pushing D51 to adhere to federal edicts, the very opposite of local control. She is mirroring Trump’s playbook of destroying the Department of Education under the guise of returning education to the states while at the same time trying to dictate how schools should operate and what they should and should not teach. Haitz and the cabal of the far-right school board members Colorado are a threat to education and marginalized students across the state. They will continue to use their position and networks to undermine Colorado’s laws and protections for students while eroding our educational standards.
Theater Troupe To Tell ‘Herstory’: Q & A
You will see pieces that tell stories from all different perspectives, and we curated our list of works carefully to ensure that we could tell as many stories as possible while still remaining authentic!

It’s Crime to be Gay!?
We have a duty to make sure that everyone regardless of race, religion, disability or sexual orientation be treated with equality. And right now, our nation, along with many other countries, is denying our human right to exist. We all must protect each other, and if any of us are not free, then none of us are free. So, I encourage you to stand up, vote, protest and live as who you truly are.

Leaving a Legacy: The Revolutionist and Community Mourns the Loss of Aiden McVay
There are so many cliches that we as a society use to rationalize when people die young: “a flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long,” “only the good die young,” “they were one of God’s favorites,” “they are in a better place now,” etc, etc. And Aiden would have hated all of them.
Thousands Come Together With PRIDE
This is why pride was originally a riot. This is why we need to have pride all year round. This is why pride is important. To stand up and be brave, to be authentically ourselves, to celebrate, and have hope for the future.
Welcome to the House of Romanova
Don’t listen to all the other voices, of course take the advice. Take the love. Take the criticism. But at the end of the day, it’s your art. And there’s no definition to drag.
