Parents unhappy with the woke takeover of their local education systems won big on Tuesday when they ousted progressive school board members and beat out pro-critical race theory candidates in multiple districts across the nation.
In Southlake, Texas, Andrew Yeager, a father concerned with the top-achieving school district’s drastic “cultural competence action plan” — which aims to shame people, especially white people, based on their race — won the seventh spot on the Carroll Independent School District’s school board on Tuesday in a landslide victory against his opponent Stephanie Williams. Yeager’s win was quickly maligned by NBC News as the result of faux outrage over a mild “diversity” plan, but the new school board member’s victory actually indicates that referendums inspired by the woke school board’s affinity for critical race theory and radical gender ideology are working.
Yeager’s win follows months of parent activism in the district after lawbreaking school officials and other community members tried to institutionalize teachings and trainings that are guilty of “racializing every possible interaction” inside and outside the classroom. While parents who were uncomfortable with this were heavily targeted by corporate media outlets such as NBC News, which happily amplified the narrative that anyone opposed to the “equity” curriculum is a racist, they quickly assembled the Southlake Families PAC which aimed to “strengthen our mutual goals of academic excellence, transparent accountability, fiscal responsibility and upholding character, integrity, a strong work ethic and leadership in our community.”
Now that Yeager is elected, board members who were backed earlier this year by the PAC, which is “unapologetically rooted in Judeo-Christian values,” hold a 4-3 majority in the district which can be used to spike any further attempts to push institutional racism down students’ throats.
Similar victories occurred across the nation where parents and community members who were unhappy with the wokeification of their children’s classrooms stepped up and offered to do something about it. In Douglas County, Colorado, four candidates running to fight back against the county school district administration’s embrace of critical race theory and masking for students who are already at extremely low risk of dying from COVID-19 won spots on the school board. Their victories quickly flipped the board majority in favor of members who aim to “prioritize kids first in all decision making.”
Four more conservative candidates opposed to forced masking and radical race and gender ideology also beat out progressive incumbents and new opponents to win positions on two different school boards in Kansas. Similar wins also occurred in Wichita, Kansas; Morganton, North Carolina; Ankeny, Iowa; Tredyffrin-Easttown School District in Pennsylvania, and many more.
Parents’ frustration with the education bureaucracy not only played a huge role in pushing Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin over the finish line to the governorship in Virginia but appears to be growing into a movement that could continue to influence statewide and even national elections in the future. Ballotpedia reported that more than 84 school board recalls have occurred this year against at least 215 members. That’s nearly three times the amount of school board recalls that occurred in 2020 and four times the amount of school board recalls that occurred in 2019.
It’s a good start. Need more and more of these. The commie agenda is to pollute student minds in K-12 now. University Marxism isn’t good enough for them.
I was watching a 1948 film called:
“Mr Blandings Builds His Dream Home”
In the beginning of the film the kids and parents start talking about progressive education and on and on. It could have been 2021.

It is a beginning. We have to root out the communist scum at all levels of government and focusing on local political offices is the most important thing we can do. Local government is the farm team for the majors and if we spike the loons locally we dry up their candidate pool.

If you think parents revolted over their kids being taught stuff they don’t want, wait till 5 year olds start having heart attacks.

Not all parents. 48%+ still voted for the democrat taliban party that demands the right to discriminate against white people and to teach that everyone should hate white people.
“48%+ still voted for the democrat taliban party”
I don’t believe that. Demonrat vote fraud hasn’t stopped just because they failed to steal Virginia.
While parents who were uncomfortable with this were heavily targeted by corporate media outlets such as NBC News, which happily amplified the narrative that anyone opposed to the “equity” curriculum is a racist, they quickly assembled the Southlake Families PAC which aimed to “strengthen our mutual goals of academic excellence, transparent accountability, fiscal responsibility and upholding character, integrity, a strong work ethic and leadership in our community.”

Probably didn’t help when the teachers union got the DOJ/FBI to label parents attending school board meetings as “terrorists” because parents want to protect their kids.
Thank you, Mama Bears and Papa Bears.
Their village manufactured to ‘raise’ your children
deserves nothing less than a torch. Burn down the village as they will be returning to make the attempt once again.
Long live our republic! Long live the children of patriots!
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace: "Critical Race Theory, which isn’t real, turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican."
David Corn: "For many #Virginia voters, it seems, the imaginary CRT crisis was more important than the preventable deaths of 400,000 Americans, the 1/6 attack, and the GOP war on democracy."
"This is right. The R candidate lied about CRT being some kind of threat but he understood that parents feel a real loss of control and frustration around their child’s school, mostly Covid related."
NO NO NO... The talking points say it is all racism and parents who care about their children are all neo nazi kkk members.
The movie “The Money Pit” with Tom Hanks was a remake of that film.
