[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea how my neighbors might vote or think politically. Why does it matter anyway ? [/quote] It matters. I've lived in red/rural/conservative areas where you couldn't get a school levy passed no matter how dire the need, because of the hate for taxes and little interest in supporting public education. So kids ended up crammed into trailers for classrooms instead of additional schools being built, while charter schools and homeschooling were prioritized, extolled and/or received additional resources. Where the school board created a review committee to target a US history class because they wanted something that was "uncritical" of American history. And where the GOP-controlled board majority believed that pre-K and K resources were unimportant because the district wasn't legally required to educate children before the age of 6. Nah, I'll stick to blue and/or blue-leaning purple areas.[/quote]
