I don’t want any political party or their agenda involved in what my kids learn.
Don’t attend a school board meeting then, or rather do, I wish every school board was filled with people like you
Sorry if I’m naive. But what’s happening at school board meetings. My oldest child just finished kindergarten and it’s mild as of now.
The hard-right conservatives are making a strong push to take over school boards, and unfortunately winning a fair amount of them, since many people in the community don’t care.
It not only gives them say over what kids learn, but also is a proving ground for ideas before they take them into goverent.
There’s a lot of book bannings going on right now especially books with any mention of the lgbt or civil rights in particular. And the bans are getting passed because the hard-right conservatives are taking over the school boards. Depending on where you live you might be dealing with that when your kid starts elementary.
