National School Boards Association asks Biden admin to look into angry parents as possible 'domestic terrorism and hate crime' threats
As school boards across the country have faced increasing backlash from parents over the past year, they have asked President Joe Biden to step in, suggesting that those parents who oppose their curriculum and Covid-safety mandates are like domestic terrorists who are guilty of hate speech.
Biden suggesting that the Patriot Act be enforced against these unruly parents who keep showing up to meetings across the country demanding answers and accountability from the very school boards that control their children's education.
"America's public schools and its education leaders are under immediate threat," the letter begins. As such, it goes on, the National School Boards Association "respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats and violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation."
The NSBA doesn't want parents showing up to hold them accountable anymore, and they want law enforcement and the federal government to crack down on parents who are demanding their children be provided with an appropriate and worthwhile education.
The school board in Loudoun County, Virg., is so afraid of parents coming to speak out against their poor handling of the educational system that they have implemented new policies to try to keep them out. It doesn't work. A Minnesota school board was slammed for allowing curriculum that urged students to role play in same-sex relationships. Another school board faced criticism over writing prompts that encouraged minors to share their sexual experiences.
School board officials are afraid of their constituents, and for good reason: a New York superintendent was ousted by parents due to the prevalence of critical race theory in the district. Another school board member opposed a resolution that would have honored those killed by terrorists on 9/11.
A school board in Ontario, Canada, held a book burning. The school board actually advocated and facilitated the burning of books.
A school board in California was held to account by parents and community members after it was discovered that a history teacher was teaching students that America is a hateful place and had raised the Antifa flag in the classroom. These parents demanded answers, so the school board walked out.
