Recently I’ve started pushing the idea here at Grok that libraries and schools are inherently political institutions, so we should start treating them as such by electing librarians, teachers, and school administrators.
To give parents and taxpayers more voice over what happens in schools.
Lots of people have had trouble getting their heads around this idea, but Donald Trump has picked up the idea and is running with it.
He’s starting with just school principals, but he’s always been more of an incrementalist than I am.
