Moms for Liberty Ride Wave of "Anti-Wokeness" to School Board Victories
Even if Republicans did not get the "red wave" they hoped for in midterm elections for Congress, there were signs of a rejection of "wokeness" way down the ballot at local school board races on Tuesday as conservative group Moms for Liberty celebrated its successes.
The group endorsed more than 270 candidates nationwide who all touted similar messaging in the culture wars between conservatives and progressives: school closures during COVID were overwrought and destructive; Critical Race Theory is itself racist; boys and girls are different and should not share the same locker rooms and restrooms, and there's way too much focus on a pro-LGBTQ agenda.
