Mama Bear vs. Education Reformer | Orlando News
Description
A fierce battle for control of Orange County’s school board is heating up as activist Alicia Farrant, known for her book-challenging crusades and “mama bear” persona, eyes the top chair seat against Angie Gallo, a former Republican turned Democrat focused on student outcomes and teacher pay. Farrant, backed by the GOP and anti-vaccine groups, promises to wield agenda-setting power, while Gallo, endorsed by teachers and Equality Florida, champions pragmatic solutions amid declining enrollment and funding woes. With Gallo’s daughters in public schools and Farrant declaring “God always gets the victory,” this election could steer the nation’s largest school district toward either ideological fervor or student-centered innovation.
