Some of us mobilized big to take down a MOL candidate in our town and were successful, but now the local Republicans are saying they are just beginning to fight this fight. It is incredibly disheartening! I'm on our local board, and one nutty member can wreak a LOT of damage. I hope you're successful.

Thank you for serving and for sharing, Julia--we've heard about some of the damage but haven't seen it firsthand, so any first-hand experience is useful to hear about.

Hello, Beatrice and Belle - love your writing and real life fun slants. We too here in AZ are working to resist these awful movements against our public schools.

Q: how do I share your writing for new readers? Is there a one-time free read for newbies before subscribing? Thank you, Jeannette

Thank you, Jeannette! I see a lot of parallels between our two states! I think just "share" a post? But we're a totally free substack, so someone should be able to click through and read anything they like!

Hi Belle - Okay, many thanks. I’ll follow up with that in mind.

And I am 100+% confident that your campaign to attract school board candidates will prevail.

I absolutely love love love the song! I haven't sung "the nanny song" to my grandweans but I am going to learn Richard's version and start singng it to them. I hope Miles sings it for others I hope you are able to recruit a good candidate. Torie, the marketing editor in the family, believes Richard's song is a brilliant marketing strategy. My love to all. Thank you for another great FTT!
