Columbus Schools Scandal: Leaked Document Sparks Controversy and Delays

A leaked document from Columbus City Schools board member Brandon Simmons has sparked controversy over proposed school closures and strategies to manage union opposition, including exploiting racial dynamics and manipulating media. Board President Christina Vera stated the document does not reflect the board's position, while the teachers' union has called for Simmons' resignation and the rejection of the closure plan. The document frames the situation as a "war" with the union and suggests aggressive tactics to control board meetings and public perception.
