Republican extremists are trying to take over school boards. They want to take over school boards and teach children one religion, Christianity only and place a poster of the ten commandments in every classroom. They want to ban books and make sure kids know that boys are boys and girls are girls, and what their place is and should be in the world.
If you ever wanted to do something about that, now’s the time. Become aware of your school board and who’s on them. Know when school board elections are held.
Republicans are going hard for these positions because some school boards are nonpartisan. School boards should be nonpartisan to serve all families. Republicans want school boards partisan and are pouring a lot of money into winning these school board elections.
