Dr. Joseph Komrosky (center), TVUSD board president, is backed by dozens of supporters during a rally on the corner of Rancho California and Margarita roads against an upcoming recall for his seat on the schools board, May 2. Valley News/Shane Gibson photo
Nearly one hundred supporters of TVUSD Board President Dr. Komrosky met in Temecula on Thursday, May 2 to rally against an upcoming recall vote for his position on the school board in Trustee Area 4. His supporters were carrying signs encouraging people to vote “No” in the upcoming June 4 election. The effort to recall “Dr.K” has been supported heavily by One Temecula Valley PAC to challenge what they perceive as a divisive and controversial agenda under Dr. Komrosky’s leadership, which he says, many of the new policies are in alignment with the California State Board of Education. Komrosky’s vote to create a committee to address what parents presented in board meetings as not age appropriate and having no place in the classroom also riled some teachers and residents. see RALLY, page A-6
Holocaust March of Remembrance in Murrieta reminds residents ‘Never Again!’ to let it happen Tony Ault Staf f Writer
It was a day of sadness. A day or remembrance, yet a day of hope on Sunday, May 5, as more than 400 Jewish and Christian residents marched down Monroe Avenue in Murrieta with American and Israeli flags flying in the 11th annual March of Remembrance of the Nazi Holocaust where 6 million Jews died in World War II. Rabbi Marc Rubenstein spoke at the event which took place at Murrieta Mesa High School. He calculated that today, there are 18 million Jews in the world, but sadly in World War II, under Adolph Hitler’s Nazi regime one third or 6 million Jews were killed between 1941 and 1944. He said see MARCH, page A-7
