School boards are in for a radical change in coming elections.
They rule with arrogance, suggesting that they have no fear of being voted out.
I have been a GOP committee member for many years. As the insidious creep of single-party politics has taken hold in our area, it has become harder and harder to get people to run for local (or county office). This year we were unsuccessful in recruiting any candidates for school board. People who considered running: 1) didn't want to put themselves and their school age children through the resulting abuse from local D's; 2) didn't believe they would participate in a free election. I have personally witnessed enough to agree with both points.
This is a very big and entrenched problem. I will continue to serve and to vote, but I feel like I'm treading water at this point. With such deep corruption (in both parties) it is difficult to get any traction. Moderate D's are encountering abuse as well, and therein may lie a small silver lining in our political cloud.
