This is a pretty crazy story:
A school board president in Arizona has been accused of maintaining a secret online dossier containing personal details about parents who opposed mask mandates and Critical Race Theory.
Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg’s access to the Google Drive file was revealed after he accidentally displayed the link in a screenshot he sent to a parent in a heated email chain.
The drive contained files labeled ‘SUSD Wackos’ and ‘Anti Mask Lunatics’ among others in a sprawling database tracking the online activities of parents in the district.
The drive was set to public, allowing anyone with a link to view it, and the contents, including the Social Security numbers, financial information and divorce records of parents, quickly set off a firestorm of calls for Greenburg to resign, according to AZ Free News.
Never mind a school board president keeping a “political enemies” dossier on the parents who are his employers; that’s bad enough. But:
- If he used district funds to hire a private investigator to investigate parents, he’s committed fiduciary responsibility fraud, and should be fired with cause for that alone.
- If he obtained and transmitted federally defined Personal Identifiable Information (in this case Social Security numbers) for unauthorized uses, it’s a strong possibility that he violated one or more federal statues regarding the collection and dissemination of that information, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
But keep in mind that I Am Not A Lawyer, and anyone more familiar than I with federal privacy provisions should weigh in below.
More background on Greenburg: He’s a democrat, having donated to the Arizona Democratic Party, unsuccessful Democratic congressional candidate Eric Kurland, and unsuccessful Democratic state senate candidate Seth Blattman. (Note: Ignore the entries for Mark Greenburg on the Open Secrets page; I’m guessing that Open Secrets doesn’t like the hyphen in Jann-Michael Greenburg’s first name, as no results come up when you search on his full name, thus the last name and zipcode search.)
The fact that a school board president would break the law to compile “political enemies” dossiers on parents who oppose Critical Race Theory shows what lengths CRT advocates will go to to keep indoctrinating your children.
It’s going to be a long, hard fight against CRT. Plan accordingly.

Setting aside for a moment the context of CRT, this is just a really unbalanced and obsessive thing to do. Suppose for a moment they were arguing about something more mundane like the design of football uniforms or the placement of posters in hallway or a dress code. I can see getting so angry at one particular person that you expend the time, money, and energy to do exhaustive research on the skeletons in their closet, but to do this to a long list of people is pathological.
That would seem reason enough to oust the guy.
An enemies list? Sounds like the Loudon County Virginia school board. What do you bet that an awful lot of school boards around the US have done something similar. Seems like fertile grounds for some computer forensic investigations.
We are fortunate in our enemies, that they are more interested in posing and preening than in operational security.
Remember, kids: always name your stored enemies list “Kitchen Staff Phone Tree” or some such.
Even if Federal crimes have been committed by the school board president in AZ no charges are going to be filed. That’s because FJG Federal prosecutors have more important things to do with their time – like manufacture crimes against the FJB Administration’s political enemies. Including terrorist parents threatening the political careers of Woke school board members. Its called prosecutorial discretion.
Prosecutorial discretion – it’s a helluv a drug.
