Not to mention there were probably more third-party/write-in voters among that group of activists (which, that's their prerogative, but ironic to call everyone else MAGA). They also did this type of deflection during the Haven issues when a group of parents wore red in support of teachers to a school board meeting (newsflash, "red for ed" is a thing and not just for the GOP). It's also neither here nor there because none of the self-described equity-focused candidates achieved better outcomes for marginalized populations in Evanston and now they're all leaving the board, while many of the incoming group will probably pull things in the other direction toward cost controls and improving test scores. If we'd had more of a balance of interests on the board over the past 6 or so years we could have possibly had more oversight of finances/Horton's admin while advancing some of these other programs, collaborating with the city, NU and other community organizations. Compromise is not easy, but that's generally how elected bodies have to work.
