School Board Elections
Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 17th, is election day for school board members. Historically, many people stay home and don’t vote. But the next day, many of these same people are complaining about the loss of American values and culture. Change starts in the schools and with school board elections.
Lynn Leonard is a SCOPE member and she is running for a seat on the Corning - Painted Post School Board. She chose to be part of the solution by taking action at the local level. She had this to say about the importance of this election and participating in it:
“In recent years public education has lost focus, no longer believing parents should decide what is best for the education of their children”.
“Instead of teaching the basic skills necessary to succeed after graduation, our schools have prioritized Critical Race Theory and LGBTQ activism”.
“Instead of teaching our students the blessings of liberty guaranteed by our Constitution, educators are programmed to teach that the United States and capitalism are the root cause of all the ills of the world”.
“It is time for the silent majority to speak up and demand that our schools return to a foundation of teaching proficiency in math, science, and literature”.
“As a mom and life-long educator, I choose to be part of the solution by taking action at the local level instead of complacency and complaining. It is time to show up, speak up, and VOTE”.
“Research your local Board of Education candidates and vote on Tuesday, May 17th. Let your voice be heard! If not you, who? If not now, when”?
Education professionals and the federal government no longer believe parents should decide what is best for the education of their children. The National School Boards Association (NSBA) sent a letter to the Biden administration comparing parents who protested school's COVID policies to domestic terrorists. The Department of Justice then issued a memo directing the F.B.I. to investigate. Speak your voice for the benefit of your child at a school board meeting and the F.B.I. may come calling.
Talking to a first grader about sex would formerly have gotten you arrested. Now, LGBTQ activism trumps common sense parenting.
This election is the first of several elections, this year, that will determine the direction of our country. Vote in every one of them to save your country. As Thomas Paine said, “…he that stands by it (America) now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman”.
