Republican efforts to ward off critical race theory in education have led to an increase in attempts to recall school board members nationally, Ballotpedia reported.

At least 51 local recall efforts targeting at least 130 elected members on K-12 school boards have been initiated in the first six months of this year. That's more than twice the annual average, according to Ballotpedia.

Between 2006-2020, there were a yearly average of 23 recall efforts against 52 school board members, according to Ballotpedia.

California leads in the 2021 recall effort, with 22 of the current situations occuring in the Golden State. Arizona (six) and Idaho (four) follow in the number of recall efforts, Axios reported.

This year's recall efforts have centered around mask requirements, and ridding schools of critical race theory. Previously, school board recalls tended to stem from disputes over mismanagement, open meeting violations, or allegations of corruption, according to Axios.

Critical race theory is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as the concept in which race is a socially constructed category ingrained in American law intended to maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites. It holds that the U.S. society is inherently or systemically racist.

Glad the public is (finally) paying attention as to whom they are electing to their local school boards. Let CRT be the litmus test.

And don’t tell me these bastards don’t have a lot of power over local school issues that affect your children - they do.

Critical race brainwashing (or CRB) needs to go away.

Who helped more Black Americans?

I feel that it is somewhat vital to teach as many people as possible to direction that all “Critical Theory” leads.

To that end, I’ve taken to calling those who espouse the notion that Critical Race Theory should be taught, “Kulak”.

In person or online I try to use the word the force of hard “R” N-word. I want them to be angry about called such a term. I want to to hurt. I want them to hate it so much they actually look the term up and understand the damning nature of “Critical Theory” and it’s intent.

I haven’t seen any proof that its working, but I’ll keep on trying.

I know about this, I didn't know they were called Kulaks.
