Think school board clashes are new? One famous school board debate resulted in schools being firebombed.
Editor’s Note: In CNN’s new podcast The Assignment with Audie Cornish, school board officials open up about what motivated them to run and the role they think race and LBGTQ issues should play in schools. This divisiveness has been boiling over since the pandemic, but it’s nothing new. One of the biggest school board debates started in 1974 over textbooks in West Virginia. It spiraled into a boycott and then bombings. This battle created the lasting framework for conservative activism.
At the next school board meeting, the gymnasium was packed with more than a thousand people. Some stood outside, sticking their heads in the windows to see inside, Laats said. Boos and cheers filled the room as people took the mic. “We absolutely refuse to have the liberal point of view pushed upon our children,” one parent said. “We the parents are the taxpayers. We pay your salary, we elected you to office,” another said.
