Wendy Rogers recently published a series of tweets focusing on the conduct of public officials in Arizona. The tweets, characterized by their direct and urgent claims, highlight issues involving local educational administration and alleged insubordination among leadership.

On April 11, 2025, Wendy Rogers shared a cryptic message illustrated by a series of flame emojis, "". The implications of this symbolic outburst remain open to interpretation as no additional context was provided in the tweet itself.

In a tweet posted shortly thereafter on April 11, 2025, Rogers criticized Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Horne, charging him with exceeding his authority and negatively impacting ESA families. Specifically, she argued, "Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction @RealTomHorne overstepped his authority… hampering ESA families." According to Rogers, the Arizona State Board of Education did not approve Horne’s proposed ESA handbook on March 24, 2025, but a decision may be reached with another vote at the end of April.

Rogers further expressed concerns about leadership and accountability within the command chain, arguing in another tweet from April 11, 2025, that "commanders like this have gotten away with insubordination for far too many years." This tweet suggests ongoing issues of discipline and responsibility in leadership positions, although specific details remain unspecified.

In a related report by Arizona Department of Education Investigating Iconic Superintendent for Alleged Misconduct, inquiries into claims of misconduct within Arizona's educational leadership are underway, shedding light on broader issues that may relate to Rogers' criticisms.
