Unbelievable that he only lost by a slim margin. No one should want to suffer such a moronic and dangerous person to make decisions for anyone

They're taking over school boards across the country.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Voters in Temecula, California, have ousted the local school board president who thrust the political body to the forefront of rightwing culture wars by seeking to eliminate discussions of race and gender identity from the classroom.

In June of 2023, Komrosky presided over the Temecula school board’s banning of critical race theory – which examines how racism was embedded into American law – as well as attempts to purge elementary school textbooks of any reference to Harvey Milk, the gay politician from San Francisco who supported LGBTQ+ rights before his 1978 assassination.

Komrosky has called critical race theory a “racist ideology” that uses “division and hate as an instructional framework in our schools”.

He and fellow school board members then voted to reject California’s social studies curriculum over its inclusion of references to Milk, whom Komrosky described as a “pedophile”.

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, threatened to impose a $1.5m fine on the district for not adopting the curriculum, though Komrosky and the school board vowed to find a way to circumvent doing so while adhering to state mandates.

Komrosky told the LA Times he is inclined to run for the school board again given his slim margin of defeat in the recall.
