All across the state Tuesday night, conservative parents won decisive victories in school board elections, ousting liberal incumbents and sending a clear message that their communities will no longer stand for mask mandates and radical curricula. School board elections typically don’t generate banner headlines or intense public interest, but paradoxically have the greatest impact on local communities. Parents wanted a say in these critical decisions, and the more they were shouted down, locked out of meetings, and even called domestic terrorists by the Biden Justice Department, the more they steeled their resolve. Conservatives burst through them—first at school board meetings and then at the ballot box—and now can get to work undoing the damage. Now more than ever, with big decisions being made in small school libraries, school board, and village board races cannot be overlooked.
