7. If people would pay more attention to school board elections...

there would be less need for this. I am on a Facebook page for my small home town and at school board election time, sure enough, a Moms for a Liberty candidate appeared, trying to seem reasonable and benign, but no matter what people asked her, she would change the subject to the book "Gender Queer". You could ask her if bus drivers needed higher pay and she would ask if you knew what was in the book "Gender Queer".

Finally someone who was apparently smarter than the rest of us combined actually went to all the school libraries (there are five) and discovered that none of them even had it on their shelves (whether or not they should have is a different issue). So there was literally nothing for the candidate to complain about and she faded away and I am glad to say, lost the election.

The larger point is that they are attempting to take over school boards while voters are asleep at the switch and we can't let them. See who the teachers unions endorse. Vote for those people.
