My question is if they are causing this much trouble (the school board) how did they even get elected in the first place? Last I checked aren’t school boards voted on by parents.

Because there are two billionaires willing to fund these people when school board races are usually apolitical races

Also, Republicans completely made up the bullshit around CRT, raised stupid money off of it and put it into school boards around the country.

Obviously it caught everyone off guard because they're small races that were apolitical. Central Bucks looks sane compared to Pennridge, a few miles away, because Pennridge is packed with Q anon believers and people who went to Jan 6th

Anyone running against them is bombarded with non stop harassment and death threats. It’s hard to find anyone willing to put their family and sanity at risk for a school board seat.

I’ll add that the current MAGA board was elected during an “off-year,” election, where usually only the zealots come out. Hopefully the residents suffering next door to my school district learned their lesson and come out to vote or mail it in next time.
