      Worth noting that anti-CRT candidates are doing poorly in some school board elections (i.e. where issue is most salient). Which suggests that other facts with regard to schooling (i.e. covid disruption) were bigger factor. https://twitter.com/skeatings/status/1455728072670523398 …

      Again, if we're going to look at impact of CRT, then I really think school board elections need to be factored in.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1455679179937042437 …

      Johnson is a conservative school board member who ran against Critical Race Theory. Dem incumbent wins easily in a city that voted 52-46 for Trump over Biden. https://www.concordmonitor.com/Johnson-condemned-for-letter-suggesting-school-district-promoting-racist-ideology-39909626 … https://twitter.com/jdistaso/status/1455672591805521927 …

      Again, school board candidates who ran on explicitly anti-CRT platforms often lost (despite having big dark money funding). This is worth thinking about.https://twitter.com/NicholsUprising/status/1455740144909160448 …

      Right-wing critics of CRT mounted a recall campaign to unseat 4 school board members in Wisconsin’s suburban Mequon-Thiensville school district. The challengers were heavily funded and supported by top Republicans. On Tuesday, all 4 incumbents won with 58% or more of the vote. pic.twitter.com/2iSCFnFDSq

          fwiw I find the COVID disruption theory also sort of dubious. Schools across the state have been open since March (most voters can’t remember what happened two weeks ago) and the polling from around that time was firmly anti-faster-openinghttps://twitter.com/SababaUSA/status/1455650526763393024?s=20 …

          A February 2021 poll of Virginia adults found basically that Democrats thought Virginia’s handling was good, Republicans thought it was bad, and few ppl (~25%) thought schools were opening too slowly https://cnu.edu/wasoncenter/surveys/archive/2021-02-04.html …

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          Worth noting that mequon-thiensville is among the very richest school districts in WI. Is there a split in how these boe elex around the country went based on economic class or education level of the voters? Also 40% in favor of recall isn’t great.

          You would not BELIEVE how fast the local PTA moms organized in my town when a crank showed up with lots of outside $$ to run an anti-CRT slate for the school board. I've been involved in local politics for 20 years, & I've never seen anything like it. The moms were pissed.

          One thing we heard a lot of from parents who were more to the middle or right side of the political spectrum was, "If our schools teach this backwards nonsense (i.e. anti-CRT talking points), our kids aren't competitive for top colleges."

          Mequon is an upscale, outer suburb of Milwaukee. They have good schools and they don't want to f**k them up, because those schools drive home prices, and they want their kids to actually learn something. I also wonder, were they trying to unseat Republicans?

          Probably one of the most interesting stories of the night in Ohio (!) where MANY right-wing cranks got their assets kicked - badly - in school board elections.
