Jeffco School Protests: Context and Context

1. More power to them and I hope they are successful!

Once again, that is what happens when people don't go vote. These BOE elections are often times on odd years where nothing on the national or even state level is on the ballot. A local election for school board members and maybe the dog catcher or coroner. So people don't go out and vote but the come hell or high water, patriots exercise their civic duty and elect this kind of shit. I watched it happen in Douglas County. And Jeffco is taking a page out of the Douglas County playbook and going a step further.

Jeffco became complacent because up until recently, the BOE was bluer or at least moderate. People sat out and this is the result. I'm watching it all unfold and it's like deja vu. Everything Jeffco is doing has been done in Douglas County and continues. I'm just glad to see there is fight in the people of Jeffco. Douglas County is too conservative so there was no uprising like I'm seeing in Jeffco. So I'm rooting for them and hope they fight the good fight to success!!
