Book bans live on in school district now run by democrats
Oct 27 2024
For two years, the Republican Pennridge School Board, north of Philadelphia, governed with a burst of ideological energy. It instituted book bans and curriculum rewrites — the sort of politics pushed nationwide by Moms for Liberty, the conservative advocacy group allied with Donald J. Trump.
But in this closely divided community, the board’s moves created a backlash.
A slate of Democrats swept school board elections. They promised to put “Pennridge over politics” and end an era of drama and division for this community.
