Briefly Noted: DeWitt, Michigan
Admittedly Dewitt, MI, is located in Clinton County, which is in the “metro” area of the Michigan state capital, Lansing. Nevertheless, it remains a Red county—although no longer overwhelmingly so, as it was in the past. Why am I telling you this? Follow the city and county links, above, for the demographics and the voting data. This—follow the link below—is the kind of stuff that’s going on in government schools across the country, even in Trump country. (Spoiler alert, Clinton County went for Trump twice.) This is just one particularly extreme example. You can bet that there’s all sorts of other crazy stuff going on in government schools everywhere. You can trace it back back to the daft idea of having the government teach kids about sex. Ideas have consequences. Having the government teach kids at all was a bad idea, and deciding to entrust the government with anything beyond the Three Rs was simply the top of the slippery slope—it was all only a matter of time, a social disaster waiting to happen. Which is why the trend to home schooling and private schooling is perhaps the most optimistic trend in the entire country.

By the way, at the link there’s a very interesting 4 minute video on related matters that I recommend—a happy ending thing.
There has been a small push back against the woke in semi-rural Michigan counties. Michigan is bigger cities surrounded by rural/farm communities but a lot of residents are people you would normally see “escaping” to the suburbs. I won’t be surprised if the next act in DeWitt is conservatives running to oust the libs who normally gravitate to school boards. It happened in similar circumstances in the Grand Rapids area.
Thx for posting. People, wake up and push back. Those of us with common sense and a moral or two do not have to be victim of the 'woke establishment'. Yes it takes time and effort. It means we have to give up leisure time. (Just think what George Washington's soldiers gave up??). The last thing Freedom is, is "free".
