Republicans in Southlake, Texas took back the school board in a landslide victory, as voters revolted against requiring critical race theory in the school curriculum.
While progressives begged that curriculum changes were necessary to make children feel safe and welcome, conservatives denounced the plan as a forced indoctrination of far-left ideology onto students.
Republicans swept the election by a 70 percent to 30 percent margin to take two spots and control of the Carroll Independent School District board, two city council seats, and the Southlake mayor’s seat, the Daily Wire reports. The results, finalized Sunday, showed a whopping voter turnout 3 times larger than previous local elections.
The victory came nine months after progressives on the board flexed a plan to instate critical race theory into local curriculum and force educators to take diversity training and other “anti-racism” courses.
The election was “a referendum on those who put personal politics and divisive philosophies ahead of Carroll ISD students and families, and their common American heritage and Texas values,” Southlake attorney Hannah Smith who secured a spot on the school board told NBC News.
“The voters have come together in record-breaking numbers to restore unity,” she said. “By a landslide vote, they don’t want racially divisive critical race theory taught to their children or forced on their teachers. Voters agree with my positive vision of our community and its future.”
In efforts to appease the progressive wing of the party, the Biden administration is urging schools to dive head-first into pushing critical race theory onto students.
Just last month, the Department of Education proposed a rule that school districts that choose to adopt critical race theory, the “1619 Project” and other “anti-racism” studies would be prioritized for federal loans and grants.
This type of race-based manipulation makes it clear that what comes first is not the children and their education, rather team left’s political agenda.

“A new era of big government ushered welfare-state socialism into these communities.
Despite tens of trillions of federal expenditures targeted toward these communities since the 1960s, poverty rates are practically unchanged. But major new problems were created — mainly the decimation of families. Single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births have tripled.
Today’s Democrats want to blame racism for the persistence of problems in low-income communities. In some respect, they are right. It is their own racism that refused and refuses to accept that low-income Americans can and must be free.
Now, today, President Biden and his party aspire to the opposite of what I have fought for.
Instead of wanting to bring the capitalism of the healthy parts of America to the broken parts of the country, they want to bring the failed welfare-state socialism of the broken parts of the country to the rest of the country.
The $6 trillion spending blowout of the first 100 days of the Biden administration, sold under the guise of COVID-19 recovery, has been about using the COVID-19 crisis to sell a new era of welfare-state big-Democrat Party government socialism that will fundamentally change our country forever.”

Way to go. Now bust the teachers union and you will a perfect educational environment.
Good on all those parents. Let’s hope parents elsewhere, see this and do the same!
This critical race theory is bull ****, plain and simple! It is being drilled into the heads of some of our students. I STRONGLY DISAGREE! I DO agree with Texas! The way to fight this is to say NO, mean it, and take action to rid our schools of this left wing hatred! NOW is the time for us to stand up and demand that this indoctrination WILL NOT BE TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS! WE must make it clear that what comes first is our children and their rightful/truthful education, rather than the left’s lying, evil political agenda.
Days like this make me proud again.
Carroll Independent School District board, two city council seats, and the Southlake mayor’s seat all had a critical race to the exit door. I used to live in Lewisville the town just south of Southlake. Same needs to happen there as the town fathers look the other way as illegal workers line up at designated pickup intersectionss and parking lots for cash paying jobs that pay no taxes. Flowermound just to the West was the fastest growing suburb in Texas a few yearas ago as legal working citizens fled Lewisville for saner greener pastures. I left in 2008 for East Texas.
Ive often heard of those “Illegal alien parking areas’ where they all line up for ‘Day labor”.. AND WONDER why the hell has ICE not visited all those sites, to ROUND THEM THE HELL UP! Oh, and arrest those who ARE HIRING THEM for breaking the law too!
Just when I thought we had lost all hope. But this nonsense is happening all over the English speaking world.
The purpose of critical race theory is to teach kids to hate each other and hate their parents.
And to hate themselves! Can’t forget that.
Let this voting in Southlake, TX be proof that “We, the people” can take our country back if we get out and vote in every election. In addition, to voting we need to ensure that all the legal votes are the only ones counted regardless of outcome.
Pass this story to your friends letting them know that “votes” do count.
For years it’s been said, VOTING LOCALLY counts as much as federally!
Good for those Texans for waking up and taking control of the school board and getting rid of the idiot mayor.
The time is critical for parents of school children to push back against school administrators, school boards and teacher’s unions who constantly push what they tell us is ‘good for the students’ because they are the experts. Expert indoctinators but not particularly experienced in the rearing of children as students rather than empty vessels to be inculcated with the latest and dubious fads the professionals come up with. In spite of Hillary’s village, government is not the be all and end all of education and children!
Though i am shocked, it took THIS MUCH BULL coming from the schools, to finally get the parents THIS RILED UP..
It really is true: “All politics is local”.
This is what we must do. We must get involved at the local level. We must vote. We must kick the Marxists out as much as possible. The conservatives in this district did it; we can do it all over the country.
We MUST… because if the Left gets total power, they will simply make elections illegal.
School boards will not stop the tyrannical left wing state & national teachers unions from stealthily force feeding the CRT & 1619 project to students since books & print materials that can be prohibited are not needed & they can teach it without even referring to the CRT & 1619 names.
TX & a few other states are passing laws to prohibit teaching CRT & 1619 but that is not enough.
IMO, local & state commissions must be formed to actively monitor schools, cameras must be installed in classrooms & teachers must be required to disclose to students & parents the books, materials & any groups / orgs they base the subject matter of their teaching on.
Also think if teachers start bashing / shaming white people or the founding of America as being racist, the kids should say that their parents told them to speak up & say they don’t have to listen to such nonsense & they want to leave the classroom.
And if those teachers try to get “BACK” at the kids, by deliberately grading them POORLY, then the parents need to start SUING THE schools..
Way to go TEXAS. I wish Louisiana would follow suit as well as every other state. Stop messing with the minds of our children and let them enjoy being children. They don’t need to be indoctrinated into the horrible world of modern day communist politics for a long time. LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE. Any teacher who does not agree should get another profession because they do not qualify to teach young minds. Stick to reading, writing and arithmetic. Let young minds develop on their own with the help of their parents. That is not your job.
