At least one of the people speaking out with harsh rhetoric at recent school board meetings is coming with connections to a national conservative group.
Tiffany Benson, an employee of Phoenix-based Turning Point USA, has spoken at Peoria Unified School District governing board meetings regarding issues pushed by conservatives in the region, including some on the board. The organization first denied she worked with them before saying Benson was speaking out on her own time.
It’s not the only place Benson has spoken before governing board members, as she has appeared before Higley Unified School District’s governing board in Gilbert and the Liberty Elementary School District governing board in Buckeye.
