In this Meet the Candidates session, our publisher Mike McCool speaks to Miles Adkins, a candidate for Frederick County School Board, Shawnee District.

Miles says, “I  want to take a moment to thank all of you who are supporting me in my campaign to provide transparency in our schools not only in the budget but in the curriculum. The woke are trying to infect our schools by applying CRT/Deep Equity principles into every aspect of the classroom.”

Here’s some of the issues/positions taken by Miles:

  • Keep critical race theory out of schools
  • Make the budget transparent
  • Cut down waste
  • Pay teachers and bus drivers more
  • Remove urinals from Girl’s locker room
  • Boys to use Boy’s restrooms, Girls to use Girl’s restroom

Find out more about Miles Adkins on his Facebook  page.
