This marks the expansion of at least two trends, both good.

Conservatives are simply getting better at organizing in low-turnout May elections. At this point, the winning percentage is well north of 50%. This is a sea change from ten years ago.

The second, more significant trend is that parental involvement overwhelms the educrat establishment. Even at this late date, there are more of us than there are of them.  The key is getting “us” to show up.

As parental involvement grows, so does attention to the activities of school district employees.

Over the weekend, a principal at an unnamed Northside ISD elementary school was called out for emailing teachers ahead of early voting, telling them “all employees will be expected [by the superintendent] to vote for this Bond.”

Whoops. If true, that’s illegal.

Yet, for all this movement, the nuts and bolts of governance are still likely to attract far more insiders than citizens. Then again, the recent electoral victories followed unprecedented levels of parental involvement at school board meetings.

The degree to which this impacts the next session remains TBD, but things could get interesting if the current level of involvement continues (admittedly, a big “if”). (AC)

“CHUCK U” SCHUMER will force a vote on a bill to legalize infanticide. This follows last week’s leaked SCOTUS draft overturning Roe v. Wade.  Schumer hypothesizes that this will rally public opinion around his party’s position on ritualistic child sacrifice.

Our hypothesis: This is a terrible vote for at least half, if not as high as 80%, of Schumer’s conference to take.
