Anti-critical race theory conservatives continued their impressive run on school board posts across the country over the weekend — this time snagging shocking victories in heavily Democratic Houston, Texas.
Two conservative candidates running for the Houston Independent School District’s board ousted incumbent Democrats in runoff elections Saturday, the Houston Chronicle reported.
In one race, a local pastor named Kendall Baker edged out incumbent trustee Holly Maria Flynn Vilaseca, and in another, a former parent-teacher organization president, Bridget Wade, pulled off a victory against incumbent trustee Anne Sung.
Every seat on the nine-member board had previously been filled by a progressive, the Chronicle noted.
Not so shocking.
