Rocks & Cows Staff October 25, 2021
The November 2nd vote is the first chance for many parents to start taking back their schools from the Education Minnesota teachers union machine and all the political mandates and divisive “equity” indoctrination. School board candidates are on the ballot in many school districts across the state. Rocks & Cows gathered information on the anti-mandate and anti-CRT candidates in the races, and listed those where the parents groups identified a choice, and listed only those candidates. EVERY voter should review the list, and go cast a ballot if there is a vote in your school district, then share this information with friends and neighbors because odd year elections are low turn out affairs and those who show up WIN!
Write the names down and take them with you! Find your polling place HERE using your address.
*Note – Blank or partial candidate options are listed “not sure” if no parent group informed us on the candidates, or no candidate informed us they were pro-parent, anti-mandate, & anti-political indoctrination. If you have information to fill out the blanks in our list please email to [email protected]. If there is a parent group contact for any of the districts in which we did not highlight a candidate choice, also send that info to [email protected]. After masking kids, trespassing parents out of meetings, and getting outspoken community members fired from their jobs, you can imagine many/most of the parents groups that have district levy votes are not excited to give the school boards additional money and will be voting NO for NEW levy money, but we do not have a comprehensive list here. Bemidji Parents Union and Stillwater – Rescue Public Education are voting NO, and the rest you may have to research.

ROCKS & COWS IS OUR “LETS GO BRANDON” FOR KING WALZ. He said “most of that red on the map, it’s just rocks and cows” and we wear it proudly, because the “Rocks & Cows” are going to send his woke flannel butt packing in 2022! NOT YOUR KID – NOT YOUR CHOICE is why the school board elections matter. The kids don’t belong to the school, and they need to be reminded!
