Neo Nazis, religious bigots and a motley array of hysterical parents wound up by Fox News pundits are standing for election to local school boards. And the gerrymandered GOP Missouri legislature also has various school censorship bills in progress. Unless we resist by putting up rational candidates in municipal elections this is only going to get worse and teachers are going to leave the profession in droves.

As soon as elections to school boards and other influential local municipal positions come up, we should put up candidates. Resistance has to be local.
