Millions spent on school board races??

The soft underbelly of democracy was not meant to be torn apart like this…by feeding the media machine so much cash it can’t speak out, even against fascism, engorged and content as it has become.

School board is lectionary with political party slates? Shouldn’t even be a thing!

Best interest of the child, not the party! Is that too naive and quaint?
