‘Get Your Children Out’: State Education Board Member Blasts System As Rotten And Corrupt By Design

A member of the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) is warning parents that the education system is corrupt beyond repair and urging them to remove their children from state-run schools.

Christina Boggess lashed out in a scathing X post on Jan. 2, calling Utah education system “a broken, corrupt, and morally bankrupt system that no longer serves the children or families of this state.” She issued a “blunt and urgent” message to parents to “get your children out of Utah’s government schools as quickly as possible,” because “real change is not coming.”

“The corruption inside the Utah State Board of Education and the broader educational establishment is not subtle—it is brazen, pervasive, and rotting the soul of public education,” Boggess wrote. “Nearly every decision is now driven by not-so-hidden agendas, political cowardice, financial kickbacks, and raw personal ambition—not by what is best for students. The USBE has become a closed club that wages open war on the minds, values, and innocence of our children while systematically stripping parents of any meaningful voice. This is more than mere incompetence; it is betrayal on a grand scale – by the very people you elected.”

“The system is not broken—it is working exactly as the corrupt intend it to work. Your children’s minds, hearts, and futures are not safe inside it,” she said.

Boggess and the Utah State Board of Education did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Issues parents have been rallying against in recent years, such as inappropriate curriculum and library books, “radical gender ideology,” lowered academic standards and attacks on parental rights, “are mocked, ignored, or drowned out by the shrill demands of special interests and the timid silence of those who fear losing their seat more than losing their soul” within the board, Boggess insisted.

“I have been forced to watch as even the loudest ‘conservative’ voices fold, trade their votes for favor and money, or abandon every promise they made on the campaign trail,” Boggess stated. “The Republican Party platform means nothing inside those walls. The Word of the Lord means even less.”

“I will not play this game any longer. I refuse to be a prop in their theatre of fake reform.”

“Layer upon layer of dysfunction—mirrored and magnified in the Utah Legislature—has turned governance into a circus of gridlock, self-preservation, and faux theatrical outrage that accomplishes nothing,” Boggess’ post claims. “Good ideas are buried, brave voices are punished, and the status quo is protected at all costs. The chaos is not accidental; it is the design of those who profit from it.”

Boggess said she will not seek re-election to the board when her term ends in January 2027, adding that “the weight of the corruption, the chaos, and the spiritual abuse I have witnessed has become unbearable.”
