Jordan Henry: Poster Boy for Extremism

Jordan Henry, Belissa Cohen, Hasmik Bezirdzhyan, Margarit Voyles, and Arman Petrosian came to the GUSD Board Meeting on September 12, 2023.

Despite the clearly posted Board Policy governing Communications from the Public, which includes clear language about no signs or posters in the board room, Jordan

Henry decided to take a stand regarding a local Glendale artist by printing a large poster of a painting and putting it into his pants, claiming it was "attire" and not "signage."

For approximately 10 minutes, two GUSD employees and several Glendale Police officers stood and listened to Jordan Henry argue about "signage" and "attire" with a poster of a nude man tucked into his jeans.
