Ivy Liu: Back in the Fight for D49 — Ballot Battle, SEL Debate & Parents’ Rights

Former D49 board member and Candidate Ivy Liu sits down with Jason to unpack why she was kept off the ballot in 2023, how a dismissed and sealed incident was weaponized in campaign mailers, and what she’ll fight for if elected again: academics first, real character education (not SEL), full classroom transparency for parents, opt-outs for inappropriate surveys and sex-ed, biological-sex policies for bathrooms and sports, and stricter phone rules to keep classrooms focused.
