Yes my cousin's daughter has 4 kids in PH. Her mom, my cousin, gets really frustrated at her as she is conservative but does not really pay attention to what is going on at her kids' schools, and says all that CRT and such is a 'big city school issue'.

Yes my cousin's daughter has 4 kids in PH. Her mom, my cousin, gets really frustrated at her as she is conservative but does not really pay attention to what is going on at her kids' schools, and says all that CRT and such is a 'big city school issue'. I messaged her and told her to vote for Athena Brattin, but no idea if she did. Athena lost, sadly, and according to the Cass County R chair that I emailed to ask for some other friends there, she was the only conservative on the ballot in PH school board race. WTH!
I voted for Athena who is very bright and an impressive woman. I couldn’t believe she didn’t win. It might be best to get as many children out of the public indoctrination programs known as schools and homeschool, join forces with other parents and do a co-op school or send them to private schools. Have the state funds follow the student, rather than the failing public schools.
Yes, met Athena several times and hope she stays in the fight, she is impressive and her hubby is a pretty good state senator too. One of our losing candidate's wives called me yesterday asking how she could get involved in school choice movement. I reached out to someone I thought was with Concerned Women of America's local chapter as I thought they advocated for that. This person said she resigned in March, needed a break from politics for a while. (It can burn you out) BUT she said they do not support 'dollars follow student' because with federal dollars come federal strings. If the dollars are Fed, they will want to come in and regulate, monitor or restrict private schools and home schools. I have several homeschooling friends who are against school choice as they want to be left alone. Something to think about anyway. MO's current limited school choice is a 'scholarship' and so I think that avoids the Fed issue.
Thanks for the info, Donna. It’s overwhelming to think about how quickly our country is devolving and where or how we can make an impact. Then I remember…but God.
Not to mention how hard it is to keep up! Thankful for Jeff. C&C posts AND commenters who help keep my head halfway above water on what is going on. It CAN be overwhelming at times. But we have to keep fighting, as what other choice do we have?

We have a small army of sane patriots here and I appreciate being part of it!
