Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board Member Russell Stuart was criticized during the public comment period of the board’s Feb. 25 meeting for a social media post he made on Feb. 24. The post contained the BHUSD logo alongside the words “DOGE,” a reference to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The post has since been deleted, and the Courier has chosen not to reprint it.
DOGE was established via executive order by President Donald Trump. When announcing the creation of the office, led by Elon Musk, Trump indicated that it would “provide advice and guidance from outside of government,” with a stated goal of streamlining government and bringing savings to taxpayers.
