A battle for control of the Antioch School District 34 board is brewing between some "establishment" candidates and some more extremist types who have been vocal on topics like book bans and critical race theory, and have sued the district.
The debate over the graphic novel "Gender Queer: A Memoir," which some say is a valuable resource for students and others contend should be removed, resurfaced Thursday during the Antioch Community High School District 117 board meeting.
