They would be better off if they would. BTW come see Greg Abbott today at Pappa Charlie’s BBQ!
Cy Fair ISD is in the middle of an election that will determine if they will continue with right wing extremism or return to the boring job of advocating for taxpayers, parents, teachers, and students. CCISD voters took action back in May of 2024 ousting Trustee Scott Bowen from the board and the results have been, well, boring, in a very good way.
Bowen was running for a third term and was trampled by a conservative who ran on doing exactly what a Trustee should be running on. Bowen was nothing but chaos on the board. His list of achievements include advocating for school vouchers, ending the teaching of Critical Race Theory, which was never taught in CCISD and was never even considered to be taught. He attempted to take over the Board with hand picked, right wing, unqualified, candidates and he failed. CFISD could learn from the voters. You can read about the chaos Bowen brought to CCISD at Scott Bowen: A Threat to CCISD Education.
The Houston Chronicle Editorial, Cy-Fair ISD needs normalcy — not an extremist partisan agenda, wrote about the extremists on the board:
By 2021, the tide had shifted. Backed by far-right megadonor Steven Hotze and riding post-COVID backlash to anything labeled DEI, CRT or “woke,” she and allies Scott Henry and Lucas Scanlon ran as openly partisan culture warriors vowing to defend “historic American values,” oppose “Sharia law,” and uphold “Biblical marriage.” They won — and governed accordingly.
Bowen has his hands in this election as lead of local government in the republican party. He has recruited candidates for local ISDs, most unqualified to run for any office. CFISD voters have an opportunity to return to what a school board should be, boring. Be boring.
BTW. Greg Abbott is coming to Cy Fair to promote the extremists run.
