With school efforts to indoctrinate children with Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the growing consequences of pandemic school closures, one thing is clear — parents have had enough.

There have been more school board member recall efforts in 2021 than in any year since 2006, Axios reported. This year alone, the organization has tracked 54 recalls with 135 members targeted. The typical year between 2006 and 2020 has seen an average of 23 recall efforts against 52 school board members.

While in the past, recalls have stemmed from “disputes over mismanagement, open meeting violations or allegations of corruption,” this year’s recalls “focus on efforts to snuff out teachings on critical race theory and displeasure about mask requirements.”

Grassroots efforts — which have been seen with frequency on the left — are now being adopted by conservatives and parents who don’t want their children learning from home indefinitely or who don’t want race explained through the lens of CRT. . . .

A groundswell from parents in places like Loudoun County, Virginia; Mequon, Wisconsin; and Litchfield Park, Arizona, is aimed at curtailing radical teachings from infiltrating places where young minds are shaped.

In Loudoun County for example, a political action committee led by former Trump Justice Department official Ian Prior is sponsoring a recall of school board members. Those board members are accused of being a part of a “Facebook group that created and shared a list of parents who opposed “racist” critical race theory in academia, Breitbart News reported.

Four out of seven members of the Mequon-Thiensville School District Board of Education in Wisconsin are being recalled “over the district’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and introducing critical race theory lessons,” according to Axios.

Two board members for the Litchfield School District are also facing recall efforts after the board approved an “equity” statement in December of 2020, Arizona Republic reported.

Parents in other counties are seeking to oust school board members for delaying a return to in-person learning.

In the Douglas County School District in Colorado for example, four of seven board members are facing recall efforts. A man named Nate Ormond organized a group called “Road to Recall” after he raised concerns about child suicide rates and child abuse enabled by the school board’s inability to decide between in-person and remote learning, according to ABC7 Denver. . . .

While parents fight for their children’s education in states around the country, some Democrats have denied that schools are even teaching CRT.

Simultaneously, the largest teachers’ union in the country just vowed to push CRT into schools despite growing opposition. The National Education Association (NEA) promised to “share and publicize, through existing channels, information already available on CRT– what it is and what it is not,” Breitbart News reported. 

And while the devastating effects of lockdowns continue to unfold — more drug overdosesincreased suicide rates in young people, skyrocketing murder rates, and more domestic violence (to name a few) — the Biden Administration just Tuesday said the president would “certainly support” states reimposing coronavirus restrictions.

In response to Democrats’ leftist agenda, parents around the country have broken recall records by taking a stand at their local school board meetings — and the year is only half over.

Thank you God for the fighters who are working to protect our children! Continue to guide them and give them the strength to stand against these evil forces who want to exploit children to further their agenda.

I pray that so many parents, and grandparents will stand up and speak up, so boldly, and loudly, against CRT and any other ungodly “teachings” that the NEA will be rendered useless, helpless and defenseless. This ungodly “education union” has been worthless, for years! They can be defeated. It just takes those of us willing to say, “you WILL NOT teach that mindless bunch of lies” to our children!! What kind of people would EVER want to teach that to innocent, helpless children? Evil people, that’s who!
Teachers need to teach reading, writing, math, U.S. history, world history, science, etc. etc. They are NOT supposed to teach ideologies, lies, unnatural sex and all the other garbage that they are trying to loose on our kids!!
These people think they can get by witth going over the parents heads! That should infuriate every parent! We pay these teachers salaries. They have NO RIGHT TO FORCE their SICK CRT, RACIST, agenda on our children! They have no right to teach our children ideologies and other lies, as well as restricting some of our children from going back to school (without masks)! We are fully capable of teaching our kids what is right and wrong, what is moral and immoral, what is acceptable and what is not, etc.! We don’t need their agenda!!
If we don’t stop these people NOW, our children will lose, and lose greatly!! That’s not something we can afford to allow! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! …….THEY HAVE GONE TOO FAR! DON’T INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDREN!! God gave them to us, not you!!
