MISSION, Kan. (AP) — School board races, once sleepy and localized, have become the new front in a culture war raging across the nation as resentments over COVID-19 restrictions and anti-racism curriculum reach a boiling point.
On Tuesday, voters weigh in on dozens of races that have been dominated by debates over masks, vaccines, race and history. The outcomes will decide not just districts' policies but also whether the education fight has staying power as part of the national discourse and becomes a rallying issue for Republicans in the 2022 midterms.
Conservatives have eagerly taken up the cause as they look to move past the coronavirus pandemic and to reframe the discussion on racial injustice in America as a rewriting of history.
The political tracking website Ballotpedia has identified 76 school districts in 22 states where candidates took a stance on race in education or critical race theory, which holds that racism is systemic in America’s institutions and which the National School Boards Association says is not taught in K-12 public schools.

We conservatives are FIGHTING BACK at you politicizing Satanists.
Do you want your daughter to be raped and then have the school board cover it up so that another girl can be raped... and so on?
Arent school board elections political by nature?
Great point, MrRelevant.
Kinda shows the incredible stupidity of the Ass Press
Uhh, I thing sane parents on both the left and right are trying to de-politicize the school boards.
Yes. This is how the left treat the father of a daughter who was raped. They wanted to silence him.
So much for little girls rights. They left are truly evil.

The Gov works for The People.

What a pile of 💩. EVERYTHING about school boards has been politicized by the LeftDems...and of course that means schools are mired in 💩.
“Damnit, why can’t you mouth-breathing, slack-jawed, right-wingers just pay your taxes and let us indoctrinate your kids?”
This “mistake” hurt two girls. Probably ruined their lives. Where are the consequences?
The thing is..school boards are elected as “non-partisan”...but EVERYONE knows they are political, especially in the past @20 years.
What the critics really mean is that professional "educators" should get to do what they want with kids and tax dollars, without any oversight or input from the voters/parents who pay their salaries and give them that authority in the first place.
I think they have a good chance to win. and if they do, any CRT or trans bath rooms will be like a unicorn fart.
Westmoreland County has become pubbie for the first time in my life time, so there is hope that it will filter down to the school board level.
The school boards are elected, right? Or do democrats cheat in those races too? They are already political. I would say that forcing CRT on kids is already politicization of school boards. CRT is not education, it’s indoctrinating, and parents have a right to object. This is so dishonest.
CRT is "anti-racism?" Just wow.
