The earliest resistance at school boards was about masks and, even worse, school closings. They were earnestly perplexed why their kids weren't allowed to learn together when the risk is so low, and then why the school boards kept making anti-scientific decisions.
Then it cascaded into CRT - porn - rape - trans - grooming. All of that is now linked in the normie parent mind. It's all taking decisions away from families.
I don't know if any of those issues on their own could motivate a big push, but now that they're stacking on each other, and parents are seeing the long game? Absolutely.
A school district I know did this. It's exceptional long-term thinking. Losing local control is not worth the money.
The general consensus in Va. is it's a very well-done GOP troll. No one has owned up to it yet, so Dems can't defend OR decry it, lol.
There's a lot of grassroots stuff going on lately. The base knows how to be subversive; the pols have to be taught, but they're getting the hang of it.
As for vaxxes, I did the first round. No more. Good luck sorting out third- and fourth-tier vaccine passports, guys. I lost mine.
