Not voting has consequences. And when you stay home because you dont think a school board election is a big deal, youre faced with the results of people with white supremacist ideology making educated decisions for your child. So, Texas, we have to do better with voter turnout, especially in local elections.
Many members of the community are now demanding Scott Henry resign. Living Blue in Texas also calls for Scott Henry to leave his position before hurting students in the district.
The CyFair community should stand up against the hate and intolerance sitting on the school board. Show up, have your voice heard. This is 2022, and Scott Henrys ideology doesnt represent Texas.
Remember to vote.

K&R, Shell_Seas.
This is a clear warning to every school board election in every State.

sears don't affect then, so they often don't vote in the "Small" elections. Not true. A school board seat gives these nut jobs a platform to be heard. Some day children affected will be voting age. We need to do better for impressionable youth.
