In her article, "How ‘Education Freedom’ Played In The Midterms," Jessica Winter highlighted superintendent and school-board races where "candidates fearmongering about unions and ‘critical race theory’ fared depressingly well."
Winter detailed the race for Superintendent of Education in South Carolina between Democratic candidate, Lisa Ellis and her Republican opponent, Ellen Weaver. She largely painted Ellis as a pro-public school candidate, while indicating Weaver’s leadership at a conservative think tank and her pro-school choice initiatives were akin to being "an opponent of public schools."
