National conservative groups pour money into local school board races

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Restoration has donated nearly $8.3 million to various political committees over the last two years, including anti-abortion group Women Speak Out and Election Integrity PAC, both with ties to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
47% : Democrats and some school officials, however, have fought against such measures, including Florida's law that bars teachers from leading classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, known by opponents as "Don't Say Gay."
44% : What had traditionally been local contests are now the latest targets for a handful of national conservative groups with backing from a GOP megadonor seeking to shape how potentially difficult discussions on race and gender identity happen -- or don't -- in classrooms across the country.
38% : Some conservatives have pushed for restrictions on transgender students, including athletes, and say children are too young to discuss about gender identity.
