“#Parents CAN beat critical race theory \u2014 by running for school boards<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The battle to win control of school boards from the clutches of racial indoctrinators is high stakes. Lose, and a generation is lost.<\/p>\n

The outcome will determine whether our children learn to see themselves and other people as \u00adindividuals, instead of merely members of racial groups. Parents of all ethnicities who never thought they\u2019d get involved in politics must step up.<\/p>\n

Under the critical race theory pushed in schools, white kids are shamed as racists and oppressors. Black kids are taught to think of themselves as victims. And the \u00adnation\u2019s history is being presented as something to despise.<\/p>\n

When parents object to this brainwashing, school administrators respond with double-talk, \u00adinsisting schools just want to be \u00adinclusive and diverse.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s time to shift from complaining to fighting for control of local school boards. These boards hire superintendents, set policies and have the clout to stop CRT. Except in large cities like New York, school boards are where the power is.<\/p>\n

In Loudon County, Va., parents are organizing to recall a majority of the school board. They\u2019re distressed that teachers are being \u00adrequired to learn about \u201csystemic oppression and implicit bias.\u201d One of the recall organizers explains that Loudon schools are focusing less \u201con individuals\u201d and \u201cmore on identity groups and putting everybody into an identity box.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, parents in Smithtown Central School District on Long Island put up three school-board candidates and swept all three races. Organizers said they acted to stop the school from promoting the 1619 Project, which recasts America\u2019s founding as driven by slavery. Voter turnout was nearly trip<\/a>le the usual turnout.<\/p>\n

In Southlake, a Dallas suburb, parents against \u201cdivisive, race-conscious learning\u201d ran candidates committed to promoting the ideal of colorblind fairness. They won, too. Hannah Smith, one of the winning candidates, explained the outcome. \u201cBy a landslide,\u201d she said, voters \u201cdon\u2019t want racially divisive critical race theory taught to their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even so, capturing a school board isn\u2019t a cake walk. Unions have a grip on the process. Often, candidates are union members or their races are funded by union \u00addonations. In Fairport, NY, a suburb of Rochester, two opponents of critical race theory lost in May to candidates supported by the teachers\u2019 union.<\/p>\n

In Oregon, Sonja McKenzie, vice president of state\u2019s School Boards Association, says she is disturbed to see board races becoming hotly contested political events. \u201cSchool-board work is not political work. It\u2019s community work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t buy that. Incumbents are posing as nonpartisan, but it\u2019s a ruse. Teachers\u2019 unions give 94 percent of their money to Democrats. School boards tend to be pro-union, pro-Democratic Party and in favor of critical race theory.<\/p>\n

Last month in Oregon, ColorPAC described its school-board candidates as living \u201cat the intersection of multiple intersecting oppressions.\u201d Opposing them were parents like Maria Lopez-Dauenhauer, who wants unity. She lost her race.<\/p>\n

But there is help on the way. Last week, a national political action committee called the 1776 Project announced it will be supporting school-board candidates battling critical race theory. That could even the playing field somewhat against unions.<\/p>\n

In many places, the fight for school boards actually started with parents frustrated that teachers\u2019 unions wouldn\u2019t allow schools to reopen. In Eastchester, NY, Jonah Rizzo-Bleichman never thought he would run for political office. But seeing that \u201chybrid learning\u201d was \u201ca disaster\u201d for his daughter, he concluded \u201csomeone had to step up to fight for reopening the schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now schools are open, but the stakes in the school-board wars are even higher. Of course, schools should teach about America\u2019s past failures, along with its triumphs, and probe racial injustice where it still exists. But of paramount \u00adimportance, young people should learn that their character and deeds matter more than their race.<\/p>\n
