Politicians who ran for school boards on a pro-book banning platform in Texas had a rough time on Election Day. Most, but not all, lost.

Co-director Frank Strong compiled a list of 15 candidates for various school boards who have overt or tenuous ties to pro-censorship organizations like Moms for Liberty. The candidates stood for posts in Conroe, Corpus Christi, Granbury, Leander, Round Rock, and Tomball ISDs.
