A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment. In Virginia, a board member resigned over what she saw as politics driving decisions on masks. The vitriol at board meetings in Wisconsin had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed....

“There is starting to be an inherent distrust for school boards, that there’s some notion that we are out to indoctrinate children or to undermine parents or things like that, when we are on the same team,”

Good.

The little wannabe dictators in training need to be pushed into resigning.

In JUNIOR HIGH, we read Les Miserable and The Yearling.

Then in high school Crime and Punishment, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, David Copperfield, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Bernard Malamud's The Fixer, Silent Spring, and lots more I don't remember. All gone from the pantheon of classics taught kids (except probably Silent Spring).

I can't believe I remember that much of our reading list 54 years later! Such a spectacular reading list.

Schools boards are feeling the heat. With good reason. The members by and large across the USA have tried to take some kind of “we know better than you” and “safety” is paramount kind of stand to deal with everything. Leftists have known for decades if they control education, they control the future. Parents are finally starting to wise up and fight back. These school boards are just the kindly neighbor “serving”. These people are full bore pushing propaganda as much as they can get away with.

If at all possible, keep your kids out of public schools.
Keep govt. propaganda out of your kids minds.
The less kids go to public schools the less money schools receive.

A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment.

But indoctrinating children didn't give him thoughts of suicide, the push back did. Therein lies the problem with the demented mind of a commie type.

The key is to keep your mouth shut before you vote.
If you mandate masks, you are killing the children.
If you don’t mandate masks, you are killing the children.

Anyway you look at it, someone thinks you are killing children
