Nebraska conservatives set sights on education takeover -
Other states have made similar moves, but the Nebraska effort is remarkably wide-ranging, with the potential to permanently alter the fundamentals of education in the state’s 244 school districts.
“The Nebraska principals spoke eloquently about the ways that partisan political attacks in their local communities were making it more difficult to support informed classroom dialogue, educate young people about the full history of the United States, and protect the well-being of LGBTQ students,” said Rogers, the director of UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access.
In Arkansas, Republicans have proposed a bill to require partisan elections for local school boards, which have been a focus of conservative political action groups and Republicans considering a run for the White House. “What we are seeing this session is our normal policies and traditional operation being thrown out the window in an effort to get these culture war bills rammed through,” Day said.
One of Murman’s proposals would adopt a parents’ rights bill that would ease the process of scrubbing school libraries of books, magazines and other content parents deem inappropriate and give them more power to object to some vaccinations.
