Defiant Official Gets Rare Backing
In rejecting a state gender law -- a stance that jeopardizes funding -- a Westminster school trustee was stunned to land a majority.
By Joel Rubin, Times Staff Writer
After she was finally elected to the board of the Westminster School District, Judy Ahrens fought most of her battles alone, and with little effect.
No one joined her, for instance, when she opposed funding for the Westminster School District's preschools or questioned the use of district money for private lessons for severely disabled students. Her stand against state funding for technology in classrooms was a solo effort and she failed to convince others that
the district's drug abuse awareness program was a waste of money.
So when Ahrens voted to defy a state anti-discrimination law at a school board meeting last month
