National School Boards Association Apologizes for Letter Comparing Parents to Terrorists
National Review ^ | 10/22/2021 | Zachary Evans

The National School Boards Association has apologized for a letter that called on the Biden administration to investigate whether alleged threats against school-board members constituted domestic terrorism.

The NSBA Board of Directors apologized in a memorandum to members on Friday. The initial letter, sent on September 29, asked the administration to investigate whether alleged threats to school-board members, over masking policies and “propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory” in lessons, necessitated federal investigation.

Considering how many people are "cancelled" for off the cuff remarks made in the last century, less than a month is not nearly enough time for them to stew on this. School boards in 2050 should be too scared to join the NSBA or any of its successor organizations when they change names trying to hide from this letter.

sounds sort of like the “I’m sorry if anyone was offended by what I said” type of apology.

It recently came out that this letter was written with the help of White House staffers. They knew exactly what they were doing, they just miscalculated the reaction.

Domestic terrorism. Is that new blanket charge these days?

The new terrorism is disagreeing with whatever the leftist establishment says.

They still have the presumption in this letter to put school boards in an equal position with parents when it comes to their children’s education. They aren’t equal - no one comes before parents when it comes to deciding what’s best for their children.

If — and I’m being conciliatory saying “if” — they really DO mean it; the proof will be in their actions going forward, and it will become readily apparent in very short order; days not weeks.

I would have thought that the SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS CAME FIRST, FOREMOST AND ALWAYS!

But then again I was just a stupid maintenance supervisor for a school district for 32 years.

It was good enough to get the pinkos in the DOJ and Garland, to start figuring out how to jail moms and dads. The pinko idiots.

IF they are sorry then Their letter should read

“We were complete morons and control freaks, and we will step down now and let competent people who don’t consider parents to be terrorists take over the board- We are truly sorry for being control freak, bullying idiots, and we know you can’t forgive us, which is why we are stepping down. We let you all down massively- and for whatever it’s worth, we are sorry for turning on fellow Americans like we did”

Parents should make that demand- Tell the members “YOU do NOT come first- our kids come first- You are responsible for their safety, and if you can’t put them first, then you have no business being in charge of our kids!

Yes it is- They got away with it when they called peaceful protestors insurrectionists and domestic terrorists- and now everything is labelled as that-

The left are EXTREMELY vengeful- Conservatives rightfully called blm and antifa domestic terrorists, and tried to get Trump to get them listed as such, so the left came back hard at the right- calling everyone from peaceful protestors to parents concerned about their kids, domestic terrorists- The left are relentless about it too- they will hound someone to the very gates of hell if necessary when they are on a mission to destroy them-
