John,

 

Across America, extremist groups with deep pockets are organizing and winning local school board elections, and LGBTQ+ students, especially trans youth, are paying the price.

These groups are turning our schools into ideological battlegrounds, using children as pawns in their culture war.

With fear and misinformation as their weapons, they are weakening our communities and threatening the safety of our kids.

 

We are witnessing a disturbing surge in book bans targeting queer authors, outright censorship of inclusive curricula, and the creation of hostile school environments where LGBTQ+ students—especially trans youth—are harassed, denied support, and pushed into the shadows.
 

This isn't about "parental rights." It's a coordinated political strategy funded by far-right groups with dangerous agendas.
 

This is not just a trend. It's a crisis.
 

Our education system is buckling under the weight of this extremism. If we do nothing, we fail our kids. We allow fear, hate, and division to shape the next generation.
 

We must act now. We need your help to continue this fight. Our goal for June is to raise $10,000 to fund the training and support of candidates who will champion these values and protect our students from harmful, extremist ideologies.
 

 

 

Together, we can ensure that every school board is a safe place where students of all identities are supported and can thrive.

Thank you for your continued support in this urgent fight.

The Team @ School Board Integrity Project
