'Anti-woke' candidates opposed to critical race theory being taught in Dallas school win control of affluent district board with nearly 70% of vote during bitterly contested election

Candidates opposed to teaching 'critical race theory' in the classroom have swept a local school board election in Texas, following a bitterly contested campaign that saw passions rise on both sides.

In Saturday's election in Southlake, candidates opposed to the new curriculum won the two open seats on the Carroll Independent School District board overwhelmingly, with nearly 70 percent of the vote.

The election followed a harsh dispute over plans the district introduced last summer to require diversity and inclusion training after a video went viral showing some of its high school students laughing as they shouted the N-word.

How is it bitterly contested when the margin is almost 2 to 1?

Perhaps Texas is learning what CA failed to learn.
Going Dem-Lite and listening to the Bush Family are not a winning strategy.

In this case, one might say that a fair amount of money and influence were used in the district....to turn the voters to a pro-woke position, and it failed miserably (70-percent win means a 2 to 1 situation).

I go to The Daily Mail 2-3 times per day. Our liberal media would never print these results.

Is 70% sufficient to drive a stake through the heart of this pernicious anti-American, thoroughly racist crap? We need to kill it off and eradicate it from earth.

I can understand them being bitter. When you are just about on the edge of success and can tell white people that they are scum of the earth and, by the way, racially inferior, and then some reactionary tells you that you can’t, then it is understandable that they would be bitter. Maybe we’ll see some real good videos of the wokes screaming at the sky.

Folks, if we don’t start getting involved and taking over, the lunatics are going to run everything, and we won’t have a chance. We are already on the edge, if not already over. Get involved, get out there, take back the GOP and get in there and move things back to the sane. THIS IS THE WAY.

70% doesn’t sound that contested

That is exactly what we need to do. These people can't be fixed. They will keep coming back and trying because they cannot brook any different opinions. They are Totenkopf totalitarians in their mindset.

Once again, Texas shows the rest of the country how it’s done.

Good. It’s about 20 years late, but it’s still good to see conservatives finally starting to fight back against the leftist takeover of our public school system.

“Bitterly contested”.

Translation. Dems lost by such a huge margin there is no hope of cheating their way to a win.
