There's a couple stories out there, here's one of them. School board candidates who opposed critical race theory, mask mandates win

One political action committee that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for candidates in the elections in several states warned that "this is just the beginning."

Local school board candidates who ran opposing critical race theory and mask mandates in schools won big on Election Day, signaling an abrupt shift in how many of these otherwise nonpartisan races were injected with culture war issues, national politics and financial backing from outside donors.

 

It's unclear how many of the hundreds of local school districts — from affluent suburbs in Kansas and Pennsylvania to diversifying communities in Minnesota and Texas — reported successful challenges from newcomers who channeled parents' frustration and anger at school board meetings into their campaigns. But the political tracking website Ballotpedia identified 88 school districts where race in education, the coronavirus pandemic, and sex education and gender identity in schools stoked candidate activism.

 

One political action committee, the 1776 Project PAC, based in New York and formed this year against the teaching of critical race theory, raised more than $437,880 in contributions to help support conservative slates of candidates across seven states. The group said Wednesday that candidates it backed were leading or won in 44 of the 58 races, including in school districts in Colorado, New Jersey and Virginia.
