[quote=Anonymous]So imagine for a moment: A small group of white supremacists gets a school board member elected in an "off" year. This is possible because 1) half the school board is elected in non-Presidential years, and 2) there are low turn-outs in those off years, and 3) only a small percentage of voters (parents) conceivably care about school board members. So that person gets on the council and just decides that Council should focus on removing CRT from schools, or ending OOB lotteries, or crusading to make education "present all sides" of the Holocaust. That person is not responsive to the general population, because of the election structure. In DC it'll be more likely to be some one of the Trayon White belief system, but you get the point.[/quote]
