Conservatives are fighting for our children against radical ideologies from the left on one of their most important battlefields. Last November, Glenn Youngkin won Virginia thanks to the fight of his parents.
People who are concerned about their children’s welfare continue to be pushed by parents to win in all races.
Lawmakers just delivered a significant win for school choice in Arizona on a bill that will enable 1.1 million Arizona students to use taxpayer-funded vouchers to attend private school “This win is the biggest school choice victory in U.S. history,” Corey DeAngelis, National Director of Research at the American Federation for Children, said.
A big supporter of school choice has won the South Carolina primary election as the GOP’s Superintendent of Education. Ellen Weaver, the president and CEO of the Palmetto Promise Institute, won the race against teacher’s advocate Kathy Maness in the primary runoff. She not only won, she also beat Kathy Maness by an impressive margin of 63 to 38 percent.
You can call this a mandate. These are the words of parents.

The state:
“The fight to save our schools is a fight to save that American dream for the next generation,” she said at a debate last week. “If we don’t stand in the gap for our kids and against the wokeism and sexualization agendas that are coming out of Washington, we have lost our country.” Weaver will face Democrat Lisa Ellis, a Richland 2 teacher and student activities director, in the general election.

Listen to the liberal tears sneaking through in this take from The State, about the “hard right.” All those things they think are bad, we think are good.
This victory is a repudiation of the status-quo as represented by Maness or outgoing school chief Molly Spearman. It also extends the state trend of hard right conservatives rejecting moderate Republican candidates. Greenville’s 43-year old Weaver spent her first twelve years as an aide for former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint. DeMint is known as a key figure in Tea Party movements. He has appointed her as the President and CEO of the think tank. It lobbyes states for conservative legislation.
Yes, this is about a rebuke of the status quo, and look for more “rebuke” coming across the country as we move into November’s elections.
