Right-wing activists using local school board races to push for greater control of public education didn’t make a dent in Tuesday’s election results.
One year away from the 2024 presidential election, voters largely rejected candidates backed by groups like Moms for Liberty that have aligned with GOP campaigns to undermine public education and restrict access to books, classroom materials and honest discussions of race, racism, LGBT+ people and gender and sexuality.
They still won 50 seats out of 24,000 up for election. Even that is too many.
How many candidates did they run? It certainly wasent 24,000.
They ran/endorsed ~365 or so, according to the article.
