Protect Kids Colorado, an organization formed last year to promote ballot initiatives that would negatively impact the rights of Colorado’s transgender community, is gearing up once again to submit initiatives to the Title Board in an effort to get on the 2026 ballot.
While conservatives are celebrating the victory and impending inauguration of Donald Trump, they are also preparing for 2025’s school board elections. Recent media appearances from some of Colorado’s most vocal conservative education activists indicate that the playbook for 2025 will focus on three tried and true issues — diversity programs, transgender people, and unions.
Now that they have received approval from the courts, the initiatives have until early August to collect enough signatures to appear on the ballot – something which the initiatives’ advocates say will be a challenge of its own.
Standing on a truck bed in a parking lot outside a recent Cherry Creek school board meeting, the so-called book-banning pastor John Amanchukwu shouted through a microphone to around 50 onlookers to vote out supporters of “drag queen story hour” and restore parent voice in education.
