It’s really important to get involved in local politics and particularly in the school boards now. The right is really trying to take them over with typical attacks on rights and liberties with no agenda to help kids learn or shore up public education.

Please get involved in local school board elections and fight back like these parents did if you need to.

@TonyStark We got two of those wackos on our board at the height of Covid lockdowns. One only lasted a year-once schools opened they had nothing to fight anymore. One is still there. At the last election two were soundly beaten by normal people.

The next town over had similar results but their wacko board had already fired the Super and banned pride flags/clothing from the school. Now they are balancing back.

@madrobin It takes awhile to get it turned around which is why I always prefer prevention. I hope that it keeps getting better and thanks for being involved.
