PennLive Letters to the Editor
A group of ultra-conservative Republicans has mounted a campaign to take over the Carlisle Area School Board. That turns this election into a battle for a partisan school board. The letters to the editor written by these candidates sound reasonable in some ways, but they use code words about “trendy philosophies,” “trendy social agendas,” the “ideologies of the day,” and “sexual identity politics,” which they claim are being taught in our schools.
Their message seems to be aligned with that of groups such as “Moms for Liberty,” which supports banning books, curtailing the teaching of accurate history regarding race relations, and discriminating against LGBT students, among other things. In other words, they’re bringing the culture wars to the school board. We don’t need that.
Fortunately, there’s a better option. A well-informed group called Citizens for Carlisle Schools has adopted goals to put students first, respect parents and teachers, and unite the community.
