They have run local campaigns to take over school boards around the country.

But they kind of shot themselves in the foot when their hero, Dubya, signed NCLB. While it is pretty much of an abomination, it nationalizes things, which means that they can't do their local fundy crap as easily. Even most RW judges tend to hiccup when you start presenting Bible verses as your reference.

We really need to raise standards nation-wide, while getting away from this crapola teaching to the test that good teachers have been forced into. Real science teaching would be nice, too.
