The Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) reportedly voted to sever its ties Thursday with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) after the group sent a letter to President Joe Biden seeking federal law enforcement help to deal with parents opposed to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and mask mandates.
The PSBA reportedly circulated an internal memo regarding the issue that drew a national firestorm after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland responded to the NSBA letter by stating he would mobilize the FBI against parents who voiced concerns at local school board meetings, possibly identifying them as “domestic terrorists,” as NSBA requested.
NEW: The Pennsylvania School Boards Association voted to withdraw from the National School Boards Association because of their recent letter suggesting that some parents should be considered "domestic terrorists."

According to education researcher Corey A. DeAngelis, the PSBA’s memo indicated the “national controversy … suggesting that some parents should be considered domestic terrorists was the final straw.”
“This misguided approach has made our work and that of many school boards more difficult,” the statement by PSBA said, adding:
It has tormented more disputes and cast partisanship on our work on behalf of school directors, when we seek to find common ground and support all school directors in their work, no matter their politics. Now is not the time for more politics and posturing. It is a time for solutions to the many challenges facing education.

The CRT predators can go to Hell.
Keep your kids safe from the CRT predators.
Anybody associated with education of children, who believes that parents should not have a say in the curriculum that the schools will teach, should be fired immediately.
Parents are the first in line when it comes to their kids’ education. Parents should be the ones approving or disapproving of any material that their kids are supposed to be taught.
Anybody in government or in school boards or in the school system (teachers, principals, teachers’ unions), should be held accountable for forcing CRT on their kids, and held accountable means also firing anyone that stands in the way of what the parents want.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Go to your next school board meeting & support parents who get up to speak.
Winning ... but PA parents must continue to be heard. This move from Pennsylvania School Boards Association is just a diversion. Do not rest until the Pennsylvania School Boards Association no longer exists. They use tax dollars to lobby against the wishes of parents and have done so for years. There is zero need for a school board association. Make them extinct.
Never torment a dispute. It’s just cruel.
It’s OUR time to mobilize against these petty tyrants.
FJB!
And so the “Resistance” begins!!!
Could the Pennsylvania School Board Association be tagged as domestic terrorist?
Pennsylvania is still sane. Corrupt in places, sure. But at the precipice, they stop playing follow the leader as the national “leader” jumps off into the abyss.
