Florida flipped multiple major school boards from liberal to conservative Tuesday evening, continuing a nationwide trend of parents taking back control of public schools.
Florida school board elections have been a major political battleground this cycle, with big names like Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Rep. Byron Donalds (R) making endorsements and joining the campaign trail.
While primary elections occurred in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma Tuesday, Florida has general elections for school boards, meaning the winners will be the official members of the boards.
Many of the winning candidates have been endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC, an organization that has been instrumental in flipping school boards from liberal to conservative across the country.
“We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.”
“The 1776 Project PAC hopes to take these successes across the country,” he said.

School board is thankless service.
Cost money to get elected, you need to sit through boring meetings and you get yelled at from one side or the other! And you get no money for all that hassle!
That’s why conservatives were not interested of serving.
For Democrats, the school board is stepping stone to higher, well paid offices, so they were the only candidates!
But with the CRT, now there are many good people interested to serve!
Leftists need to be crushed all across the fruited plain.
I liked this news:
Donalds received 83.7% of the 85,802 reported votes, or 71,809 votes, compared to 13,993 votes, or 16.3% for his lone Republican opponent, civil engineer Jim Huff. With fewer than 4,500 votes remaining to be counted in Lee and Collier counties the Associated Press called the race for Donalds before 8 p.m.
Florida is now a red state.
