Back to School
More Monkey Business
As nearly 50 million public school students gear up to go back to the classroom in the coming weeks, it’s important to pay attention to where COVID-19 relief funds are going and what school districts are revealing in their plans to deal with COVID-19 and Monkeypox. Despite federal health officials declaring monkeypox a public health emergency, the CDC and other agencies have not released any official guidance for school and district leaders about monkeypox as children have represented very few cases. Some public health officials are continuing to fear monger about closing schools again which means parents need to be active and vocal about what is really in the best interest of their kids. Your children do not belong to the state.
At face value, increased funding for things like technology and improving school facilities seems great, however, in reality we know that billions of pandemic funds have been used to implement Critical Race Theory items including 'implicit bias training' and ‘equity warriors’. In an August 2021 report, President Biden’s Department of Education encouraged state and local school authorities to address the “reasons families of color have cited for not returning to in-person learning,” such as “fears of xenophobic and racist harassment” and to “implement strategies designed for systemic change at the local and school level.” Some districts, like Ocala-Marion in Florida are touting a record spending plan of $905 million that is inflated by federal COVID-19 relief dollars. As districts spend relief funds, auditors say ‘business is booming’, follow the money and speak out against indoctrination. America’s fed-up parents are taking action and demanding to know what school boards are up to.
Florida Focus Part II
In case you missed it, 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky went on Tucker Carlson last month to explain why Floridians must vote in school board elections on August 23 to rid their schools of left-wing agendas once and for all.

Ultra-Wild West
1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky recently traveled down south to speak in Texas at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Girdusky, CPAC’s Mercedes Schlapp, America First Legal’s Ian Prior, and Julie Pickren spoke together on a panel “We Are All Domestic Terrorists.” A nod to the National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) letter sent in the weeks before it asked President Biden for federal law enforcement to counter “domestic terrorism” at school board meetings. A few weeks after the letter was sent, as complaints piled up, the NSBA apologized, saying “there was no justification for some of the language included.” That following Friday, the group went further, denouncing the letter altogether. Failed attempts by the Biden Administration to silence parents and Attorney General Merrick Garland directing the FBI to discuss the threats made it clearer than ever that parents must be involved in their children's education.
Join Our Fight
Help reclaim our classrooms, help reclaim our country. If you feel like there's a war against your values, you're right. Our schools have been taken over by left wing ideologues and are teaching our children to be socialists. Forget the old days where education was all about learning tools to succeed later in life. We have a responsibility to stop this now while we still can. Last year we flipped 42 school board seats. In 2022, we're doing it again–and it's just getting started. With the support of patriots like you, we can completely redraw the education landscape in America. Let's get out there, roll up our sleeves and win some school board elections.
