In May, Republicans swept a host of local elections as residents, motivated over the rise of Critical Race Theory-related issues in the school system, rose up in opposition to school administrators pushing the diversity plan. As The Daily Wire reported at the time:Republicans\u00a0blew out\u00a0Democrats by a roughly 70% to 30% margin to take two spots and control of the Carroll Independent School District board, two city council seats, and the Southlake mayor\u2019s seat. The election results, finalized Sunday, showed a ballooning voter turnout about 3-times larger than past local elections.The landslide for conservative Republicans came nine months after progressives on the school board introduced a plan to instate critical race theory in the local school curriculum and force educators to take diversity training and other so-called anti-racism courses.The election \u201cwas a referendum on those who put personal politics and divisive philosophies ahead of Carroll ISD students and families, and their common American heritage and Texas values,\u201d Southlake attorney Hannah Smith, who beat local business consultant Ed Hernandez for a spot on the school board, told NBC News in a statement.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
