General Discussion

I wish I could find the story, but it was a Democrat who trounced the Republican incumbent in a school board race because the Republicans had gone so far overboard.

The last straw was the incumbent being caught taking photos near restrooms at the school. (He wanted to prove they weren't properly labeled or some such, but when he was captured in a photo taking these pictures, seeing him lurking around bathrooms sure looked creepy, creepy, creepy.)

Anyway, it sounds like the incumbent was already toast before that last straw because of various disruptive incidents related to implementing some crazy Christian Nationalist bathroom policies. While such policies might sound good to bigots, when it comes to disruption at the schools related to implementation, the extremists often end up voted out.

The Dem that won said that it all boiled down to people REALLY hating disruption at their local school. People who were "appalled" at the idea of trans kids using the restroom of their choice are suddenly not so happy with the new rules when it means little so and so is bullied, someone else is in hysterics, and other completely unnecessary incidents disrupting the school. All the sudden, the idea of trans kids using whatever restroom sounds fine if it brings peace.
