LANSING — In a year in which education debate has been dominated by Republican culture-war attacks — from LGBTQ inclusivity to the teaching of critical race theory — Democrats swept contested races on Tuesday in a slate of university and K-12 board races in Michigan.

Democrats Pamela Pugh and Mitchell Robinson took two contested seats on the State Board of Education, which sets education standards for Michigan schools. Their victories maintained a Democratic majority on the board, and denied openings to Republican candidates who argued that schools were indoctrinating students in communist, Marxist and “perverted” ideologies.

Democrats also took the two contested seats on each of the governing boards for the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University, according to unofficial results from all 83 counties.

Republican activists and parents groups had framed the state’s education debate this election year on “parental rights,” seeking to rid the public schools of so-called “woke” ideology on race, history and other subjects, while also saying they were frustrated by schools that they felt weren’t transparent about lesson plans and diversity initiatives.

To be sure, a number of parental rights candidates secured positions on local school boards Tuesday. But on board openings put to statewide votes, they were shut out.

6. I'm so glad that my county Democratic Party mailed out a flyer that listed all of the

candidates they endorsed on the non-partisan part of the ballot. I'm always flummoxed by them, even in the Age of Google. I always vote straight ticket because, let's face it, why not? I haven't voted for a RepubliQan since the mid-1980s. But I've found that candidate information on some of these obscure races can be a little tricky to find, so I appreciated seeing them all listed in one place.

Thank you to the Ingham County Democrats!
