Much of the teaching did not conform to the parents expectations. A number of parents were so put off by it that they started showing up to school board meetings. That’s when the fun started. Many school boards basically shut the parents down and ignored their appeals to open up the curriculum for debate. It started a nationwide outcry, and has cost many school board members and school administrators their positions. The most amazing…it forced the recall of three very liberal members of a very liberal school board in San
