Did you totally miss the part where I clearly indicated that I’ve not bothered to research and find out if it’s true? Hanging around schools to observe it firsthand would be pretty damned creepy at my age since I don’t work in education and don’t have kids. Nor do I pay much attention to the board elections for the same reason.
The fact that those running for board positions typically have their political affiliation next their name on the ballot, though, should tell you something.
Whether it be Republican or Democrat is entirely irrelevant to the point I was making. The fact is that almost all school boards likely do lean one way or another. They have agendas beyond education, either consciously or unconsciously. Those agendas will make their way into the curriculum, however subtly or overtly. Those agendas will be political, religious, and/or just plain personal.
Whether you agree with whatever agenda they have does not change that simple fact.
That agenda is being taught to impressionable children. Whether that’s good or not depends on who those people are, and what your own opinion of that agenda is, and whether your child is enrolled in a school using the resulting curriculum.
But there IS an agenda that they’re pushing, just as much as any homeschooling parent pushes their own.
And that is the ONLY point I was actually making.
There was no need to try to shame my political views or knowledge —- which you aren’t even aware of, because I never reveal such online since people are so damned irrational on such topics, and that irritates me.

- meetingthrower 3y agoAnother wrong thing - virtually ALL school board elections have no political party affiliation. There is currently a crazy movement by the right to institute that, but for the most part it is not true.
