District 38 needs two conservatives to step up and run for Palmer Lake’s and North Woodmoor’s school board seats this fall. The need is urgent. As with most conservative communities across the country, we have organized progressives here with media-directed axes to grind. They are disproportionately vocal on social media repeating whatever propaganda is served to them, be it forced masking, the Covid jab, DEI, and, above all else, LGBTQ advocacy. If there’s a Facebook frame for it, they will believe it. And push it on the rest of us.
The grip the teachers union has on the country provides an infrastructure for their activism and a pool of volunteers and potential candidates for school boards. Conservatives don’t have this because they didn’t embed themselves into our education system. On the contrary, conservatives have been rooted out.
What a difference it would make if conservatives joined the fight. And our schools taught American exceptionalism instead of multiculturalism, individual responsibility instead of collective guilt, and virtue instead of hedonism.
Sitting back and waiting for the Facebook-frame people to produce your next two board members is a terrible idea. This town is full of intelligent, educated, perceptive, well-spoken conservatives. Please answer the call to help our community. Board members meet twice a month. Candidates need to pick up paperwork and collect signatures in August. Anyone interested looking for more information is free to reach me.
