1. that is really awful

Back in the early '80's in Texas, we were being warned even then that the conservative coalition (the bible thumpers) had targeted school boards and admin positions for their first wave of political gains. They lobbied hard and took over a lot of territory, and we've not been able to shake them since. This is the kind of thinking these folks wanted to espouse, and they rightly figured the school systems as the best, and earliest forum to advance their causes. I am ashamed to say we didn't do more to fight them.
