That's awful. In our old district, we got a majority of conservatives on the board for 1 term..but we didn't have the same volunteer fighters in the next election..meaning there were less people fighting for what is right. People got tired and gave up. It was horrible. It's all about liberalism, and multi-culturalism. (oh and spending money on useless programs)

WE have people trying to rebuild the party apparatus here in Houston but the Christians keep running people off. There are really three parties hear 1 democrat and two Republican. That is why we have out-of-town-brown for two terms.

So the other side did get enough volunteers, apparently, and won. Tough thing, that. Those who will not work for their goals deserve to lose, in my opinion. It's an ongoing effort, not something you do once then forget about.

We have a great system here. If you can convince the majority to vote for your slate of school board members, you control the school. If you can't get enough people to volunteer to do this, then the other side will win. It's so simple, yet I rarely see much action. Most conservatives, it seems are satisfied with complaining about things on FR or other places, but are not willing to put their beliefs into action.

School board elections are child's play. If conservatives cannot consistently elect a school board that is conservative in nature, then they deserve what they get, in my opinion. Most people don't even care who's on the school board in a district. All it takes is some minimal effort to publicize the names of the candidates you want elected and simple name recognition will insure their election.

I'm just amazed.
