In April, a rural Iowa school district was set to hire Leslie Pralle Osborn as the new principal of its two elementary schools. That was until a local resident, who never met Osborn, started a Facebook campaign against her. His reason? He thought Osborn would bring a “woke agenda” to the community.

On April 23, Hampton resident Jacob Swieter wrote several Facebook posts outlining his case against Osborn. This was one day before the Hampton-Dumont School District was set to vote on whether or not to hire Osborn as principal of North Side and South Side elementary schools during a special meeting.

In a since-deleted post, Swieter posted the photos, names, and numbers of all five Hampton-Dumont School Board members—publicly available information that can easily be found on the district’s website—and asked people to call them to ask them to vote “no” on hiring Osborn.

“My personal opinion is we don’t need this woke agenda in our small community,” Swieter wrote in the deleted post. “See previous post for video.”

The video in question, “What My Biracial Daughters Taught Me,” was a 13-minute clip in which Osborn, who is white, explained how she learned more about race, racism, and systemic issues by having two biracial daughters and a Black husband.
