This is a developing story, and I’m running ahead of the publishing schedule of the main sources I would usually rely on (such as The Texan, which doesn’t usually publish on weekends), but it appears that leftwing pro-CRT/pro-groomer school board incumbents who were on the ballot in several ISDs got wiped out by conservative-backed parents running against them:
School board candidates opposed to CRT and mask mandates swept elections across Texas last night.

Given we don’t have reliable sources to go to, let’s read between the lines for this piece in the lefty-funded Texas Tribune.
All but one of the 11 Tarrant County conservative school board candidates, who were backed this year by several high-profile donors and big-money PACs, defeated their opponents during Saturday’s statewide election, according to unofficial election results. The one candidate backed by the groups who didn’t win outright advances to a runoff election in June.
The 10 candidates won the school board races for the Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller, Mansfield and Carroll school districts.
The candidates’ sweep shows a large swath of voters across the county responded to their calls to eradicate so-called critical race theory…
“So-called.”
…from classrooms and remove books discussing LGBTQ issues, which concerned parents have described as “pornographic.”
You mean like the books featuring ten year old having oral sex?
Education experts, school administrators and teachers
Just insert “leftwing” before each of those, and “union” before the last.
all say that critical race theory, a university-level concept that examines the institutional legacies of racism, is not taught in classrooms.
Yeah, we’re not playing this game any more. They’re lying. Piss off.
The victories also show that the staggering amounts of money that were poured into the once low-profile and nonpartisan…
By “low-profile and nonpartisan” he means “the radical lefties we approve of could sneak in by stealth when normal people weren’t paying attention.” Well guess what? We’re paying attention now.
…local races are producing their intended effect. PACs organized by parents, as well as a newly-formed PAC from a self-proclaimed Christian cell phone company, collectively raised over half a million dollars for the local races this year. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on top political consulting firms that bolstered an anti-CRT platform with flyers saying the candidates were “saving America.”
This year’s school board races across Texas, and notably in Tarrant County, have been hyper politicized as school board meetings have become the center of culture war debates over COVID safety policies, library book bans and critical race theory. The races drew intense scrutiny from conservative parents and deep-pocketed donors. Even State GOP chair Matt Rinaldi weighed in.
Patriot Mobile, a Texas-based cell phone company that donates a portion of its customers’ phone bills to conservative, “Christian” causes…
Don’t you love the scare quotes around “Christian?” “Remember, comrade, your beliefs are just heathen, backwoods superstition without the official imprimatur of liberal media elite opinion!”
…gave $500,000 to its own PAC, Patriot Mobile Action. The PAC spent about $390,000 on campaigns in the four Tarrant County districts, campaign reports filed in April show. The same filings showed the PAC had about $125,000 cash on hand as the May 7 election approached.
Patriot Mobile Action spent at least $38,500 in advertising and canvassing for each candidate from Mansfield, Grapevine-Colleyville and Keller school districts. All of those candidates were victorious Saturday night.
In Mansfield, the PAC backed the now-victorious candidates Bianca Benavides Anderson, Keziah Valdes Farrar and Courtney Lackey Wilson. In Grapevine-Collevyille, Tammy Nakamura and Kathy Florence-Spradley, whom the PAC supported, won their respective races. In the Keller races, Patriot Mobile Action backed Micah Young, Joni Shaw Smith and Sandi Walker. Each won Saturday night.
In Carroll ISD, which covers the city of Southlake, Patriot Mobile Action supported candidates Andrew Yeager and Alex Sexton, who also secured seats on the board.
The only candidates supported by the PAC that didn’t win was Craig Tipping. He heads to a June 18 runoff with Benita C. Reed.
For decades, hard left social justice democrats managed to continue their stealth march through American institutions, but they’ve now gotten so far out over their skis that they’ve managed to wake the normies. (Just think: If teacher’s unions hadn’t insisted on year-long Flu Manchu vacations, pro-groomer/pro-CRT factions would still be working below threshold of public attention.) Normally apolitical parents are increasingly infuriated with pro-pedophile groomers and radical social justice warriors propagandizing their children, and they’re not going to take it any more.
Newly elected board members need to follow-through. Every administrator and teacher pushing CRT needs to be laid off or fired. Have a gay pride or BLM flag in their classroom? Gone. You can teach students what they need to know to succeed, or you can teach them radical leftwing garbage theories that cripple them for life. You can’t do both.
Hard reboot.
No quarter.

Hmm. Lots of straight white males among those winners, I’ll guess.
Mandatory always-on bodycams for teachers.
File under “Pushback,” something I’ve watched conservatives fail to do for most of my life.
Small correction. There are no teacher’s unions in Texas. It is unlawful for public employees to unionize in Texas. There are teacher organizations which are affiliated with the big national unions but they have no ability whatsoever to negotiate any type of compensation on behalf of their members and are therefore pretty much toothless.
Cameras in classrooms.
Abolish the union.
Vouchers.
Classroom materials posted on-line months before classes start.
Serious legal consequences for teachers who teach stuff in secret.
In down-state Indiana, I’ve sent this blog entry to a retired teacher who is fighting the same fight.
Parents finally found out about these perverted teachers and school admin groomers getting their rocks off on talking to kids about Pedophilia and trannie sex. Parents were very rightly pisssed-off about the perves using their kids for sexual gratification. Next step, convict and imprison the grooming, depraved monsters for life, to keep them from ever harming kids again.
We just got the “of course we don’t teach CRT” from our school board in CA. We will see if the left will continue their domination.
“Hmm. Lots of straight white males among those winners, I’ll guess.”
Competence is colorblind and genderless.
What is important here is that the majority isn’t silent anymore. We depended upon “experts”, but then those people turned against proven education and began chasing political education instead, they needed to go. There will be some good people thrown out, but we have to stop permitting supposed educational experts from turning us into asexual guinea pigs.
Two of three conservative candidates won in San Antonio’s North East independent school district (NEISD) board elections.
Straight white men build societies others want to live in.

So, 370H55V, which part of that is it that you find offensive?
Are you an anti-heterosexual bigot, and so hate the “straight” part?
Are you a racist pig, and so hate the “white” part?
Are you a sexist pig, and so object to the “male” part?
Or is it more “all of the above”?
I went looking at one of the Texas counties where the fight was going on. They had 10% voter turnout
It is shameful for us to EVER lose an election where there’s only 10% voter turnout. Hard core conservatives are more than 10% of the total electorate. We need to get our people out for every election until we’ve crushed the Left
“Hmm. Lots of straight white males among those winners, I’ll guess.”
You idiots just don’t know when to quit, do you? Go ahead. Keep digging, you pathetic shrew.

You guessed wrong. If you bothered to read the post you would have found out that 7 of the 10 winners listed are women, including Asians and Latinas.
[…] the news isn’t bad! […]
@Andrew
I was being sarcastic. My point was to show that the charge against CRT is in large part led by persons other than straight white males. That is exhilarating, and it shows that women and minorities are catching on to the crap the Dems have been feeding them. Is that a better explanation for you?
To all the rest of you, don’t you recognize sarcasm when you read it?? Gawd!!
Sarcasm doesn’t seem to come through well on the internet. It’s why you probably need to use the “/sarc” tag. Alas.
@Red Right
Unfortunately, I’m afraid you’re right. I just expected a little more intelligence from readers of a blog like this.
