1970 Hart Board Recall
Wm. S. Hart Union High School District

Recall, SCV Style: Voters oust incumbents Curtis Huntsinger and Edward Duarte from the William S. Hart Union High School District board on Sept. 15, 1970. Sparking the recall movement was Huntsinger's reversal of Superintendent C.T. Haan's decision let students circulate an anti-Vietnam War petition on their own time. By election day, the conservative board had fired its more liberal superintendent. Replacement candidates Carroll Word and Thomas Hanson captured large majorities.
