In Michigan, a concerning trend has emerged within the state's school system, as the Proud Boys organization has targeted small local elections, particularly school board positions. While the organization's leadership has faced legal consequences, remnants of the group still actively participate in local politics, albeit under different names. This shift has allowed them to continue influencing school board decisions without the same level of scrutiny they once faced.

The persistence of extremist influence in school board elections poses a significant challenge to education and community governance. Despite the dissolution of the Proud Boys as an organization, their tactics and ideologies persist, impacting local decision-making processes. This situation underscores the need for vigilance in monitoring and addressing extremist infiltration in educational institutions.

The evolving nature of extremism highlights the importance of proactive measures to safeguard education and democracy. Efforts to combat extremist influence must involve community awareness, robust electoral processes, and initiatives to promote inclusivity and diversity in school governance. By addressing the root causes of radicalization and fostering a culture of tolerance and respect, communities can better protect their educational systems from the harmful effects of extremism.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
