Many voters are often unaware that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-guns-coffee-father-fosters-daughters-entrepreneurial-spirit\/\" title=\"Big Guns Coffee: Nurturing Entrepreneurial Spirit\">school board \u2062members<\/a> are on the ballot during elections and that these positions can significantly\u2063 impact \u2063education. School boards decide on hiring superintendents, curricula\u2014including controversial topics such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) \u200dand explicit sexual education\u2014and fiscal management\u200b of tax dollars.<\/p>\n<p>To address these concerns, \u200dit is essential for\u2064 conservative voters to closely follow local school\u2062 board candidates, scrutinize their true beliefs, and investigate their funding sources. Several conservative \u200dorganizations, like Moms for America and Ivoterguide.com,\u200c are \u200bhelping parents find qualified candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The article stresses that living in a \u2064conservative area \u2064does not \u200bguarantee that the local\u2063 school board reflects those values, highlighting the experience in Virginia Beach, where the school board \u200dhas long been \u2063dominated by Democrats \u200cdespite the area&#8217;s\u2063 conservative reputation. \u200cIt advises parents to be cautious of candidates endorsed by \u2064teachers&#8217; unions, which typically indicates \u2062a left-leaning agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the piece encourages parents to \u200cconsider\u200d candidates\u2019 positions on issues such as school \u200csafety and \u201csocial justice\u201d \u200cpolicies, which may allow disruptive behavior to go unchecked\u2063 in\u200d schools. the article \u2062urges conservative engagement in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nc-dem-senate-challenger-votes-against-bipartisan-school-reopening-bill\/\" title=\"NC Dem Senate Challenger Votes Against Bipartisan School Reopening Bill\">local school board<\/a>\u200b elections to foster change in\u200d educational policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Radical Democrats have controlled government schools for decades. Most voters show up to the polls with no idea their school board members are on the ballot. Since many local elections don&rsquo;t permit a partisan designation to be displayed on the ballot for these races, a conservative voter could unknowingly vote for a radical Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>School boards control which individuals are hired as a superintendent &mdash; say, Marxist activists &mdash; what curriculum will be taught in classrooms (DEI and obscene sex-ed, anyone?), and how your tax dollars are spent.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to transform schools and save education, pay attention to <em>who<\/em> is running for your local school board race and <em>question<\/em> those candidates&rsquo; real views. Follow the money on donations to candidates rather than just listening to soundbites.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, a number of conservative organizations are making this easier for parents by vetting and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">endorsing school board top-notch candidates<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/mfaaction.com\/endorsed-candidates-map-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moms for America<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.momsforliberty.org\/pledged-candidates-elected-officials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moms for Liberty<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivoterguide.com\/voter-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ivoterguide.com<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/1776projectpac.com\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1776 Project PAC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t assume that just because you live in a &ldquo;red&rdquo; area your school board shares your values.<\/p>\n<p>The historically red city of Virginia Beach, where I have served on the local school board for eight years, has the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/seattle-teachers-poised-to-strike-and-delay-school-year\/\" title=\"Seattle Teachers Poised To Strike And Delay School Year\">fourth-largest school district<\/a> in the state and has been dominated by Democrats for years. That could change this year, with many great conservatives running for the district&rsquo;s six seats up for election in November. But that&rsquo;s only possible when parents and grassroots conservative groups work to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/key-republican-recruits-slow-to-jump-into-competitive-down-ballot-contests\/\" title=\"GOP struggles to find candidates for competitive local races.\">recruit high-quality candidates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In states where school board races are technically non-partisan &mdash; meaning the candidates don&rsquo;t display their party affiliation on the ballot &mdash; there are usually &ldquo;tells&rdquo; that give away their views. Here&rsquo;s a hint: If a candidate is endorsed by the teachers&rsquo; union, they are always left-wing Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Local parties will often endorse &ldquo;non-partisan&rdquo; candidates. In Virginia Beach, for example, the Democrat-endorsed candidates are uniformly radical. At a recent forum, a discussion about &ldquo;gun violence&rdquo; led several of the Democrat school board candidates to <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v5isiil-when-democrats-say-they-support-the-second-amendment-they-lie..html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">publicly &ldquo;boo&rdquo; and &ldquo;thumbs down&rdquo; the Second Amendment.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a parent concerned about school safety, ask yourself: Will these same candidates vote <em>for<\/em> or <em>against<\/em> armed security in schools?<\/p>\n<p>Look for &ldquo;social justice&rdquo; cues. Ex-Virginia Beach School Board Member Sharon Felton, who&rsquo;s running this year after losing her last election, <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v5isjb1-we-expel-no-student.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said in a forum<\/a> that she wants to ensure students can&rsquo;t get expelled from schools for <em>anything<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sound odd? This extreme &ldquo;social justice&rdquo; policy allows violent students to remain in school. Last year, in a neighboring school district, a six-year-old boy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcwashington.com\/news\/local\/shocking-assistant-principal-ignored-warnings-that-6-year-old-boy-had-gun-before-he-shot-teacher-report-says\/3588796\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shot his teacher<\/a>. He had prior discipline problems, but the school refused to expel him and it nearly cost a teacher&rsquo;s life.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&rsquo;s the &ldquo;book-banning&rdquo; angle. Jordyne Blaise is a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/Speaker\/751\/Jordyne-Blaise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diversity, equity, and inclusion<\/a>&rdquo; expert running for North Carolina&rsquo;s Wake County School Board. Blaise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/v\/Ffvn61S1LgERzq7R\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claims<\/a> that books are being banned in schools by racists because they feature people of color and LGBT characters. What she fails to reveal is the books in question have graphic, sexually explicit content that would be placed in the X-rated section of any bookstore.<\/p>\n<p>To the radical left, shielding small children from pornography is bigotry. People who want to provide sexually explicit materials to children should be labeled as groomers, not elected to school boards.<\/p>\n<p>Communists target children first. Controlling the education of young minds will change a nation to become whatever those in control decide. Do you want Marxist Democrats in control of school board to teach the future leaders of our nation, or do you want conservatives who want to teach children <em>how<\/em> to think, not <em>what<\/em> to think? Look closely at who is running for school board in your county or city and choose wisely.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Victoria Manning is a senior investigative researcher for <a href=\"www.restoration-news.com\/\">Restoration News<\/a>, published by <a href=\"www.restorationofamerica.com\">Restoration of America<\/a>, and author of &#8220;Behind the Wall of Government Schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radical Democrats have dominated schools for years, often unnoticed by voters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3008,"featured_media":2358808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-11.29.17-AM-1024x556.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7064,5152,22512,5894,42534],"class_list":["post-2358807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-candidates","tag-education","tag-nonpartisan","tag-politics","tag-school-board"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-11.29.17-AM-1024x556.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2358807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3008"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2358807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2358807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2358808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2358807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2358807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2358807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
