@blatham,
A fair amount of sophistry and evasion in your commentary. The issue has nothing whatever to do with learning or my appetite for it. The School Board issues in Loudon County VA, were all very widely publicized. These Included new student indoctrination (as opposed to education) courses & associated training materials ; the simultaneous cancellation of formerly successful advanced mathematics & hard science courses in the name of “equity”; former Governor Terry McAuliffe’s ill-conceived opinion, expressed in a political debate, that parents shouldn’t be involved in determining what students are taught ; and his subsequent defeat by Glenn Younkin, are all likely very well - known to most posters here.
I noted that the increased engagement of parents in issues involving School boards was quite obviously a populist thing. In Virginia at it emerged directly as a reaction to the Loudon County School Board’s authoritarian actions in suppressing public comment at periodic board meetings ostensibly conducted precisely for that purpose; and later in covering up repeated sexual assaults on other students by self-Identified “transexual” students. This partisan overreach was a very widely reported major factor in coalescing organized parental action to repopulate school boards both in Virginia and other states.
Political advocacy groups qualified under 501 C 4 are not necessarily closet conspiracies, and the right of their donors to protect their identities is established under our law. Moreover, as I suspect you know, there are numerous such organizations advancing opposing political objectives. Are they also conspiracies?
The sound and fury that attends politics & debate over public policy does not all involve dark conspiracies, which, as you often suggest is the necessary character of any you oppose (but never those you favor).
Finally in the case at hand you certainly offered none of the factual proof you so frequently demand from (only) those who disagree with you.
