Recall and replace the Priest River leftists

| August 24, 2023 1:00 AM

Recall Keith Rutledge and Susan Brown. Despite the fact that both were legally elected, have traditional family beliefs and standards, are well-qualified, and are working hard to improve the failing academic standards, focusing on raising students’ ability to read and write at appropriate age levels and raising students’ math and history proficiency. Add to this, Susan and Keith have the audacity to want our schools to provide a safe learning environment, encourage parental rights and input, and introduce financial transparency and budget accountability.

Replace Rutledge and Brown with unelected, unqualified woke leftists who’ll keep the good old boy system operating just as it's been for years, that’ll rubber stamp and bring leftist agenda to Bonner County, including the school emotional learning curriculum, and will undermine and eliminate parental permission requirements for sexually related presentations, introduce co-ed bathrooms and locker rooms, and eliminate parental rights participation and input regarding curriculum and school finance reporting.

Rebuild the pathetic academic programs in math and reading that we leftists promoted for years and are responsible for implementing. Put your trust in us despite the fact that our past policies have accomplished, putting WBCSD students' math and reading levels below minimum proficiency levels and our students have the lowest graduation rates and SAT scores in Idaho, all while the district has spent more money per student than the greater majority of Idaho schools.
