Subject: Yadranka Draskovic is unsuitable for a DEI committe
Dear Esteemed Council Members and Mayor,
I'm writing with concern after learning you are going to interview Yadranka Draskovic for a position on the DEI
committee. Ms. Draskovic celebrated a violent mob attack at a school board meeting in Glendale last year, in a
social media post. I have attached her post to this email. This was particularly egregious to me because I was
present at the event she posted about and covered it as a photojournalist.
My photos of that event are here: httns• "mtir-%v iioinuthrouehelass comirhe-FAFO-Chronicles/Glendale-June-6-
2023
Several women were punched in the head by Armenian Power gang members, and Proud Boys started a brawl
that was so violent the school board meeting went on lockdown. Three people were arrested. (one pro LGBTQ
supporter, and two far -right individuals. A man pepper -sprayed a clergyman in the face. Most protesters were
not from the school district. It was an ugly day, and frankly, it's shocking that Ms. Draskovic would post
anything but a condemnation of the violence, but she commented "This is what happens when parents get
really upset and feel unheard". As a parent myself, I have never felt the need to riot, beat people, or shut down
a school board meeting.
Here is an overhead shot of the violence Yadranka posted

I have seen Yadranka consistently try to rile and divide our community, attacking schools, implying that
teachers have a secret agenda to separate children from parents.
Yadranka Draskovic has made concerning anti LGBTQ comments.
She is against DEI, so I do not understand the logic of putting her on a DEI
committee unless you want to destroy it from within.
Yadranka believes there is an agenda to "sexualize" children in schools that is part of DEI, and believes it's
some sort of communist plot. Her presence on any city committee or office will put residents in danger of
discrimination and could lead to lawsuits for the city.
I am writing this quickly, but I will follow up with quotes from the two podcast interviews she did.
These are the links to the two podcasts:

Please do not appoint Yadranka Drascovic to any city committee or office. It is not "diversity" to put someone
like Yadranka on a DEI committee.
Sincerely,
Kelly Stuart
