Bring it. Tell the world that 86% of LGBTQ+ kids have suicidal ideation, but their parents cannot possibly be told of their child's trans identification and the clear and present danger of suicidality. Tell the world that California's default position is that all parents are

💥 💥 💥 Will @TonyThurmond answer @Lance4CASuper?
@TonyThurmond The name-calling & false accusation of parents -- from across the political & ideological spectrum who don't believe that government owns their children -- should be beneath you, but somehow it isn't. So serious question - would you be alright if a teacher pulled your child out

I'm grateful for your amazing support. Ballots are still being counted & seeing 3.2 mil votes for my candidacy shows there is a yearning for better schools in California. I'll continue fighting for our kids. I'm putting this account on ice for now. You can follow me @lancelands.

OpinionðŸ’by John Seiler @Lance4CASuper's run for #California's state superintendent of public instruction always was a long shot. He was going up against the state’s most powerful political force—@WeAreCTA. Despite that, he garnered 37% of the vote.

Let's see if FedEx does the right thing.
A short🧵from the campaign trail on something I never made public until now. This summer, we planned multiple SoCal events over a period of days that would allow me to go from one stop to the next without driving more than an hour or so. This required a lot of coordination. 1/x

When parents are engaged & have choices to provide their children with the best educational outcomes & opportunities, everyone succeeds. I hope you will continue with me as we strengthen the parent movement in 2023 & beyond. 13/14

I ran for Superintendent because I wanted to ensure that my children & the millions of kids in our public school system receive the high-quality education they deserve because parents were heard & listened to. 12/14

As such, I am fully confident that my campaign will ultimately succeed in producing outcomes that are better for our children & students in & out of the classroom despite the final vote tally. 11/14

Indeed, we are building a coalition that will supersede this election’s results with a clearer view of the obstacles & challenges. I know leaders will continue to rise up across the state to more effectively hold their local boards & public schools accountable. 10/14

Paraphrasing C.S. Lewis, now is the time to irrigate the deserts of our children's minds & we can do that best when parents are in control & have feasible choices. 9/14

We know that money is not the determining factor in education – parents are. For those parents consigned to failing traditional public school because of their zip code & frustrated by the failures of the union-dominated machine. 7/14

Putting one’s name & reputation on the ballot shows great courage, character & resolve. You & I are building a movement that will take time to fully develop & I’m here, with you, for the long haul no matter Tuesday’s outcome. 6/14

Finally, I want to thank those of you who jumped into the arena in thousands of school board races across CA. I appreciate the tireless efforts you put into your races as well as those of your countless and devoted supporters. Win or lose, your efforts were not in vain. 5/14

I am also grateful for those who gave of their time & treasure to sustain a campaign that was vastly outspent by entrenched interests. To those who supported me both publicly & behind the scenes, your endorsements mean the world to me. 4/14

I have an incredible family who stood by my side thru the many rigors of a statewide race, especially during some dark hours. Their sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. I can't thank my closest friends & advisors for helping me build a resilient campaign with limited resources. 3/14
