Activist condemns school board for inviting far right speakers
During a recent board meeting, Tana Weiss delivered a passionate address criticizing the presence of radical right activists at Katy Independent School District (KISD) meetings. Weiss expressed concern over individuals who do not reside in the district or have children enrolled in KISD being invited to speak, labeling their involvement as inappropriate and harmful.

Weiss highlighted instances where board members were seen greeting these activists, which she described as \"despicable and beyond offensive.\" She lamented the shift away from focusing on agenda items that benefit students and staff, accusing board members of engaging in divisive social media tactics and fostering an environment of hostility.

Specifically, Weiss called out board member Perez, who is up for reelection in May, accusing him of aligning with far-right ideologies and damaging the district's reputation. She criticized the board's approach to governance, suggesting that merely creating committees and engaging in controversial debates does not equate to effective action.

In her closing remarks, Weiss emphasized the potential dangers posed to students by the current board's actions, asserting that their legacy is one of \"danger, damage, and hate.\" The meeting concluded after her remarks, marking the end of the open forum segment.
