Opponents of CRT, COVID closures win school board races nationwide

Early returns Tuesday night showed that critics of COVID-19 reopening policies and critical race theory made headway in school board elections nationwide.

Conservatives now have a majority of the Carroll Independent School District in the wealthy Dallas suburb of Southlake, where parents previously led an electoral revolt against a proposed racial equity curriculum this spring.

Three challengers who oppose school COVID mask mandates defeated incumbents on Iowa's Johnston school board, the Des Moines Register reported.

In the same region three supporters of school mask mandates won seats on the West Des Moines school board, the Register said.

Candidates who favored a "Quicker return to in-person instruction" prevailed in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania school board elections, the Morning Call reported.

A $50,000 recall campaign in suburban Milwaukee failed, with all four Mequon-Thiensville school board incumbents comfortably keeping their seats, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

"Conservative newcomers" won most school board elections in Olathe and Blue Valley in Johnson County, Kansas, the Kansas City Star reported.
