Meet the Radical Left Candidate Running for School Board in Ohio
In a shocking turn of events, parents across America are waking up to the alarming reality of how deeply politics has seeped into K-12 education. This is especially true in Ohio, where a radical candidate named Rachel Gilman is vying for a position on the Indian Creek Local School District Board. Her agenda raises significant concerns about the future of our children’s education and the values that schools should uphold.
On April 16, 2025, the Attorney General and Education Secretary in Maine took a bold stance against the state’s failure to protect women and girls in sports, citing violations of Title IX. This federal investigation is just one example of how educational standards are being compromised by radical ideologies.
YouthVote—a grassroots organization dedicated to exposing leftist candidates like Gilman—has made it their mission to inform voters about the growing number of local candidates prioritizing ideology over education. They argue that the future of America’s schools is at stake, and they are determined to hold school boards accountable.
Rachel Gilman: The Ideological Warrior
A quick glance at Gilman’s social media reveals a troubling pattern. Her posts advocate for the inclusion of Pride-themed books for children, pushing for LGBTQ propaganda to be embedded in school libraries. Many parents across the nation have raised objections to such materials, deeming them inappropriate for minors and laden with sexualized content.
Moreover, Gilman has shown vocal support for integrating gender ideology into school curriculums without considering parental consent or community values. This blatant disregard for traditional educational standards raises serious questions about her fitness to oversee the education of our children.
Perhaps most disturbing are her graphic pro-abortion posts. She has shared images that many would consider shocking and inappropriate, using grotesque displays to promote a political agenda rather than focusing on educational content. This is not the behavior of a responsible leader; it is the hallmark of cultural activism seeping into our schools.
The Threat of Cultural Activism
The implications of Gilman’s candidacy are profound. School boards are meant to maintain educational quality, transparency, and uphold family values. Instead, they are becoming platforms for radical social engineering.
YouthVote has found that candidates like Gilman are part of a nationwide trend of far-left activists aiming to seize control of local schools to push their ideological goals. Rather than concentrating on essential subjects like reading and math, these candidates divert attention to divisive identity politics that erode trust between families and educational institutions.
The Call for School Choice
In light of these developments, the call for school choice has never been more critical. Parents must have the power to select where their children learn—be it public, private, charter, or faith-based institutions—without being forced into systems that do not align with their values.
YouthVote champions the cause of school choice, asserting that every child deserves access to an honest, apolitical education that is not determined solely by their ZIP code or the outcome of a school board election.
Take Action
To support this crucial mission, consider spreading the word about YouthVote and their efforts to defend parental rights and protect children from indoctrination in schools. Every student deserves a classroom focused on learning, not ideology, and every parent deserves the power to choose their child’s educational path.
As we stand on the brink of a new era in education, the stakes have never been higher. The future of our children’s education hangs in the balance, and it is up to us to ensure that it remains free from radical influences.
