Back in August, I wrote that getting “back-to-school” this year would also mean getting back to fighting far right attacks on education. The threats included a rising number of efforts to ban books, and the right’s efforts to take over local school boards.
So how did the right do in this fall’s school board elections? Well, as in Congress, there was no conservative “Red Wave.” However, the right did score just enough wins to keep coming back. And the groups behind those wins are promising to do just that.
