A GOP Texas school board member campaigned against schools indoctrinating kids. Then she read the curriculum.

52. She admitted she was wrong

She said she would look at instructional materials during her campaign. She did and found she was wrong and publicly admitted it. It takes a lot of courage to publicly admit you are wrong.

There is a second article that explains a bit more:

Former far-right hard-liner says pro-voucher billionaires are using school board races to sow distrust in public education

When Courtney Gore ran for a seat on her local school board in 2021, she warned about a movement to indoctrinate children with “leftist” ideology. After 2 1/2 years on the board, Gore said she believes a much different scheme is unfolding: an effort by wealthy conservative donors to undermine public education in Texas and install a voucher system in which public money flows to private and religious schools.

Gore points to West Texas billionaires Tim Dunn and brothers Farris and Dan Wilks, who have contributed to various political action committees that have poured millions into legislative candidates who have promoted vouchers. The men also fund or serve on the boards of a host of public policy and advocacy organizations that have led the fight for vouchers in Texas.

In recent years, the largesse from Dunn and the Wilks brothers has reached local communities across Texas, including Granbury, near Fort Worth, where fights over library books, curriculum and vouchers have dominated the community conversation.

Gore said that she believes school board candidates are being recruited, at times without their full knowledge, in an effort “to cause as much disruption and chaos as possible” and weaken community faith in local school districts.

In my opinion, I am glad to work with folks like her. She did her research (as promised); discovered the truth; admitted she was wrong and called out powerful Republican voucher advocates.

As a Democrat, I don’t agree with everything she believes but she is willing to look for truth. This is where we find common ground and can work together for Texas school children.
