Conservative candidates are positioning themselves to gain majorities on state school boards in Kansas and Nebraska, potentially influencing educational curricula, especially regarding topics like racism and emotional learning.
The push against social-emotional learning (SEL) by conservatives highlights a broader cultural and political battle over what is taught in schools, as many view SEL as a liberal agenda.
With increasing efforts to ban certain educational materials, many conservatives view SEL, DEI, and critical race theory as ideologies that should be removed from the classroom.
A potential shift in board composition could lead to significant changes in educational policy and parental dissatisfaction, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming elections.
