Alabama Republican Party bans AEA contributions in most school races

The Alabama Republican Party Saturday voted to ban some Republican school board candidates from accepting money from the National Education Association and affiliates like the Alabama Education Association (AEA).

But the party’s governing body rejected a proposal to expand the candidates affected.

The ban, proposed by Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl, would apply to GOP candidates for county school boards, the state school board and county superintendent positions. If money was donated without solicitation, candidates would have seven days to return it.

Wahl cited what he called the NEA’s “transgender ideology” and “woke policies” in a news release ahead of the event.

“We have a problem with representation and who is the driver in our children’s education and that’s a nationwide issue,” he said.

Been born there. And, I taught school there before moving away. It’s odd because I have a whole bunch of liberal friends and family that live there. There are good people in Alabama. Just not the majority. It’s tough.
