Across America, parents are waking up to how deeply politics has infiltrated K–12 education.
That’s why YouthVote exists—to expose the growing number of local candidates who prioritize ideology over education.
YouthVote’s mission is simple but urgent: fix America’s schools by informing voters, holding school boards accountable, and empowering parents to protect their children’s education.
With dozens of investigations and reports nationwide on radical candidates, YouthVote continues to shed light on individuals whose values threaten to undermine classrooms and communities.
One of those individuals is Rachel Gilman, a candidate for the Indian Creek Local School District Board in Ohio.
A quick look at Gilman’s social media reveals everything parents need to know.
Her posts promote Pride-themed books for children and call for LGBTQ propaganda to be embedded in school libraries—the same kinds of materials parents across the country have objected to for promoting sexualized and ideological content to minors.
She has openly supported efforts to include gender ideology in school reading lists, showing little regard for parental consent or local community standards.
Even more disturbing are her radical pro-abortion posts.
Gilman has shared graphic images of naked pregnant women smeared with blood to form the American flag, complete with clothes hangers replacing the stars—a grotesque and politicized display meant to shock, not educate.
These are not the actions of a responsible leader or someone focused on improving student achievement. They reflect an agenda rooted in cultural activism, not classroom excellence.
And yet, this is the person asking to oversee your children’s education. Parents in Indian Creek should understand exactly what’s at stake.
School boards are supposed to safeguard educational quality, transparency, and family values — not serve as platforms for social engineering.
