You know those school board elections we are used to downplaying? Nov 2 Elections in CO... [View all]

Many areas of Colorado have those positions on the ballot--along with several major ballot initiatives. I just got my own ballot for the so-called County Coordinated Election on November 2 and spent the better part of the morning researching who these people are. Frankly, the most important issue for me is whether or not they promoted sane COVID-19 policies (No anti-masking/anti-vaxxers for me) and answered local news questions adequately for the role of unbiased historical education (no Trump-loving racists tendencies).

If you have a similar election in your district, PLEASE do your homework on these candidates. I don't even have kids, but it is damned important to me that we have sanity on our school boards that respect education, science, and public health.
