She Campaigned for a #Texas School Board Seat as a #GOP Hard-Liner. Now She’s Rejecting Her Party’s Extremism.
Courtney Gore, a Granbury ISD school board member, has disavowed the far-right platform she campaigned on after finding no evidence that #students were being indoctrinated by the district’s curriculum. Her defiance has brought her backlash.
Educating people works. I mean, it's better if they aren't indoctrinated or wrong to begin with. Failing that, I do have to respect people who are presented with evidence they hadn't seen, or had just been taking peoples word for it, and have the courage to actually change their minds publicly.
It's why I'm not in favour of "they're all stupid". I wouldn't always disagree, but it makes it harder to reach people and change their minds.
