The district has also cited HB900 as a reason for discarding books on Greek mythology, just about everything written by Stephen King, dozens of books on art history, and—I kid you not—Rudyard Killing’s The Jungle Book.

It's a school night, so I'm going to go get ready for bed. But I'll have a full write-up of Texas school board races ASAP! franklinstrong.substack.com

I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

Princeton ISD numbers are finally coming in! Good news: Sonia Ledezma is in 1st, w/ a solid lead. Bad news: 2 book-banning incumbents behind her. Top 2 vote-getters win seats. Would love for both incumbents to lose their seats, but one is still an improvement.

I'm told there will be a runoff in this Senate District race if nobody hits 50%.

Not a school board race, but Leigh Wambsganss is a leader of Patriot Mobile’s PAC, which has wrecked school boards all around North Texas. Would flip a conservative seat to D. Hope this holds!

People in CFISD are saying it’s done.

Friends in Cy-Fair ISD are ecstatic. I cannot emphasize enough what an earthquake these results will be. This flips control of the board in a district, where books been banned, LGBTQ students maligned, & whole chapters of textbooks dealing w/ climate change & vaccines electronically censored. HUGE.

Twice-annual disclaimer: I have no idea what votes are still out and no special insight into what margins are needed to win. I'm just a guy frantically refreshing results websites like the rest of you.

More good news! Former counselor Mary Coker is up over Bret Tooke in Lake Worth ISD.
