Description
Cristine Trooien doesn’t like politics. But she found herself advocating for parental rights in schools, and now she calls herself an “accidental activist.”
Trooien runs Minnesota Parents Alliance, an organization that partners with parents to educate and empower them in their relationships with public schools, and backs school board candidates who care about academic achievement.
“I found myself just minding my own business in 2020, like many of us, and watching our school communities unravel,” Trooien told Liz Collin on her podcast this week.
