Voices
Commentators, advocates, and union leaders who have authored published pieces about LBUSD governance. Posture labels reflect the consistent side an author has taken in their published writing — not personal opinions held privately. Where authors plainly self-describe an alignment, we record it; where alignment is ambiguous or limited to a single piece, we leave it unlabeled.
