SCHOOL BOARD POWER, IT STARTS HERE.

Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast.

We are in the last week of campaigning for school board positions in the state of Oregon. We are busy with endorsements and GOTV efforts right now.

Those who have never been involved in the election process are involved. They are astounded how much work it is, and how mean the other side can be. Everything from stealing or destroying campaign signs to outright slander applies to these contests. Candidates have called me saying they want to die, or I never would have done this had I known... these are folks who vowed they would stand up for their convictions, and nothing could deter them.

Please know that a political race is never personal. It sure feels personal because you values are under attack, but those attacks are because of your stand, not you personally. What does it mean to take a stand. For me that means to decide exactly when enough is enough, and where will I draw the line. It is about principle, not compromises. The Left has no intention of stopping until they have full control. When you open the door to compromise, it is the beginning of a slippery slope to loss of individual freedom and rights.
Your opponent will do whatever it takes to keep you from gaining their seat. Once you win you ma be compelled to hold your seat without much ability to achieve your goals until the next election. The reason is, unless you have a majority of like minded individuals on your board, your power is limited.

You might be wondering why this seems to be a new revelation... Young parents are just learning about the School Board. They weren’t aware of the policy changes in just the last 5-10 years taking away their rights and mandating curriculum without their input. Maybe some earlier board members did not anticipate the radical implications to their decisions. My belief is the role of education has been stretched out of control, to the point we no longer have educational institutions. It’s time to restore the proper role of education, and get the ball rolling at the local level.

School Boards can do it by passing policies that reflect the wishes of the parents, but parents have to speak up and ask!
