Good news!!! [View all]

I am so excited. I live in Medford, OR red city in blue state and elections always go to the republicans.

Yesterday was an Election Day for school districts and libraries and every single dem that ran won!! That rarely happens here. None of them said R or D but everyone knew who was what. The two ladies for library that won were against banning books.

I guess people are finally tired of having crazy in their education.
