You are 100% correct. There are people showing up to PTA meetings to bring up their concerns about district policies regarding children and then you find out that the person showing up and asking those questions doesn't even have a child in the district. It's ridiculous. They are saying "I just want to protect the children," but what they actually mean is "I want to protect my Fringe political beliefs from further criticism and dissent."

I live in the region and I have friends that teach in the region. One of the biggest problems is that there are crackpot parents getting elected to school boards and attempting to push their beliefs on the rest of the school district. The Pennridge school district in Upper Bucks county has had problems with this type of behavior as well. The board has several times pushed an illegal policy only to have their own lawyers tell them that they can't do it. The sooner the radical right disappears, the better.
