Parents across the country are tired of K-12 schools putting identity politics above providing a quality education to their children. Democrats have attempted to portray this sentiment as partisan and right-wing, but it apparently persists even in a city where their politics otherwise dominate.
Election results released Friday reveal that a slate of candidates running on support for merit-based academic standards won seats in New York City’s Citywide & Community Education councils, the equivalent of school boards. Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education, a right-leaning advocacy group, saw victories for 115 of their 147 endorsed candidates, who will occupy 40% of seats in the councils.
The city later rolled back these standards, and the momentum toward improving children’s futures has continued, thanks to PLACE. The founders of PLACE have appealed to the common sense of parents who are increasingly skeptical of their education system’s priorities. Woke “land acknowledgments” for indigenous people “don’t teach anybody more math,” co-founder Maud Maron said defiantly ahead of the election.
