Way I read the article, and I could be off, is that the

liberal side of PC objected to term black and the
conservation side of PC objected to the picture of the naked mom.

Those on the board are elected officials and any policies they develop are subject to public review. If one does not like a policy, there are a variety of ways one can have it changed including, in the most extreme case, a recall election/referendum to remove the board members who enacted the policy in question.

Yes, you are off. There's only liberal side of PC, e.g. denying 3 aspects of reality:

1. Aiden cannot make his friend disappear
2. A black kid is a black kid
3. Women get pregnant

I took the women(highlited) part to be coming from an uptight conservative , whose afraid little Johnny will start touching himself in "that" area and start thinking about "stuff" while seeing pictures of naked people.

A petition!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! You're kidding right? "Right to petition government" doesn't end at a bunch of names on a piece of paper that the school system will get a good giggle at before sending off to the printers for printing on their supply of toilet paper. Lawsuits are one of the few tools (only legal one?) that a single individual has to directly fight the government, they work. Maybe a single one won't bring about any world-changing precedents, but you have to start somewhere.

Not quite. Only after you've exhausted your administrative remedies, can you seek legal remedies.

This example is in Texas but you've all read of others in other states.

They are out of control and there's no one to put them back in their place.
15,000 +/- school districts in the U.S. Elected School district boards are a mixed bad in terms of oversight.

There are at least 3 sides to every story. The link is one side.

Schools don't make public comments relative to student behaviors.
