Support your Local Progressive School Board Member

With the recent news that the Texas Board of Education passed along a history curriculum that eliminated Hillary Clinton, Helen Keller, Barry Goldwater but kept Billy Graham and the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction hiring a known creationist to help revise the public school K-12 science standards, it is very apparent that when voters go to the polls in November, that they support local progressive candidates for the state and local school boards. Our states and country can not move forward if board members think climate change is not real, Hillary Clinton is not important to the American Historical Narrative, and schools should be run as a business. The Democratic Nominee for the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kathy Hoffman, often comments that the future of our state "is in our schools." Elected school board members should have the temperament and foresight to steer our schools in a forward direction that champions facts, critical thinking, and active citizenship, not sectarian interests or the bottom line. Remember that consideration when voting for school board members this year.
