OPINION: DeSantis Doctrine on winning back local school boards
Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says teachers' unions are prioritizing 'adult issues' and political agendas without any regard for young students struggling to re-start school in a post-COVID era.For decades, conservatives have allowed teachers unions to monopolize school board elections. But when the pandemic came along, parents discovered the high price of remaining on the sidelines. Conceding school board races to unions suddenly had visible costs for their kids.
These trends prevailed across much of the country last week. Where conservatives mounted a coordinated effort as in Florida, they did reasonably well. But where conservatives did not make such a push, the teachers’ unions continued their dominance of school board races in both red and blue states.My own analysis of teacher-union electioneering in red Indiana and blue Michigan, for example, uncovered strong union win rates of 66 and 74 percent, respectively.
