ROUND 3 IN NEWSOM-KOMROSKY FEUD: TEMECULA SCHOOL OFFICIAL DOUBLES DOWN ON HARVEY
MILK

San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, left, joins Mayor George Moscone for the
signing of a gay rights bill in 1977. Both men were assassinated the next year.

First, the Temecula Valley Unified School District board president called Harvey
Milk a “pedophile” while attempting to ban from the district’s curriculum a book
that mentioned the gay activist and onetime San Francisco supervisor.

Joseph Komrosky’s efforts were successful, and the material was removed from the
district’s social studies curriculum last month.

Then, Gov. Gavin Newsom lambasted Komrosky as “ignorant” for his “offensive”
comments regarding Milk.

“This isn’t Texas or Florida,” Newsom tweeted on Saturday. “In the Golden State,
our kids have the freedom to learn. Congrats Mr. Komrosky you have our
attention. Stay tuned.”

Now, Komrosky has fired back at Newsom.

On Wednesday, he made a statement that was livestreamed by the social media
accounts of the conservative podcast “Our Watch With Tim Thompson” from a 412
Church campus.

“Gov. Newsom, I’m glad that I have your attention. Now you have mine,” Komrosky
said to a round of applause from the audience.

“I received my first death threat after your tweet and relentless attacks on my
job as a well-standing tenured professor,” he said.

Komrosky then doubled down on his characterization of Milk, the first out gay
elected official in California, who was assassinated along with San Francisco
Mayor George Moscone in 1978.

AMID BOOK BAN FIGHT, NEWSOM BLASTS SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT AS ‘IGNORANT’ FOR
CALLING HARVEY MILK ‘A PEDOPHILE’

The Temecula Valley School District rejected a curriculum because one book
mentioned Harvey Milk, a prominent gay politician. Newsom took offense.

June 6, 2023

“My remarks about Mr. Milk were not based on him being a homosexual,” Komrosky
said, “but rather based upon him being an adult having a sexual relationship
with a minor.”

School board member Danny Gonzalez also spoke during the livestream, which was
billed as a news conference, though neither Gonzalez nor Komrosky took any
questions, and members of the media did not appear to be present.

“The accusations that my actions are in any way bigoted, homophobic, or any
other nasty accusations against me are ridiculous,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez also addressed concerns that the vote to ban the book from the
curriculum would leave students without textbooks, as an alternative book was
not approved.

“Our students and teachers will have what they need for the start of the year,”
he said, “and I continue to work through this daily.”

Both Komrosky and Gonzalez said they were not delivering their statements in
their capacities as Temecula school board representatives.

The board’s move to pull the book from its curriculum came amid a flurry of
similar activity in California and across the country.

The trend was addressed by Newsom, California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and state
Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond in a joint letter published last week,
although it did not reference Temecula Valley Unified by name.

Removing “materials from curricula or libraries may also violate the First
Amendment,” the letter states, “even when prompted by complaints from parents or
threats of lawsuits.”
