The redrawing of electoral districts, or gerrymandering, in the United States is reaching unprecedented levels. After the Supreme Court’s late-April ruling changed electoral rules and curtailed minority rights, Republicans have stepped up efforts to dismantle majority-Black districts, especially in the South, though the strategy extends to states beyond that region.

Public education is already one of the main political and cultural battlegrounds in the United States. In recent weeks, Republican lawmakers in Congress and across various states have introduced bills aimed at restricting content related to gender identity, racial diversity, and sexual orientation in the classroom. Many of these initiatives are linked to the political legacy of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and one of the most influential figures on the American right before his assassination in 2025. His name now appears directly in legislative proposals seeking to reform public education under a more conservative vision of history, religion, and social values.
