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

Posted on 10/22/2021 8:16:32 PM PDT by markomalley

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.

They apologized to the membership. So what?

Where is their letter to DOJ withdrawing their complaint about parents standing up to school boards? Specifically, have they told AG Garland to back off?

I worked hard to recall three of our five trustees last year—gathered signatures at three signature gathering events and literally fought off the teachers unions goons who showed up to harass us.

Unfortunately our recall effort failed but the effort alone DID manage to finally open up the schools last year—the first district in the SF East Bay to reopen. And it took until April!

I have four kids and even though I am upper middle class, it’s very expensive and difficult to pay for both private school AND save $$ for public college for 4 kids, and retirement.

We need Americans having plenty of kids to survive as the nation we know and love—public schools are part of that—not everyone can afford private school or homeschool AP Calculus and AP Physics.

(That said, I did withdraw my last two teens from public school last year—one went to private, one I homeschooled).

Did they fire the stupid cucks who wrote and approved the original letter? If not, their apology is not acceptable.

It was something that clearly should never have been considered, much less said -- which means the "apology" is false and insincere, as are all such leftist we-got-caught BS. Thanks markomalley.

Every Virginia parent will vote against the McAuliffe/Biden cabal...
....sinister hypocrites who rule imperiously.

They answer to no one for their controversial and consequential actions...
....exposing their elitist, unmitigated contempt for concerned parents.

After an ace reporter w/ The Daily Wire found Loudoun County Public Schools did not record multiple known incidents of alleged sexual assault in schools dating back several years, despite a law that requires statistics about school safety incidents to be reported to the public and which includes provisions holding school superintendents personally liable for violations.......

....The Daily Wire raised the discrepancy with the Virginia Department of Education.

DOE spokesman Charles Pyle said that “VDOE is reviewing the discipline, crime and violence data submissions of Loudoun County Public Schools and is in communication with LCPS to determine whether the division’s reporting is accurate and whether the division is in compliance with state and federal law.”

Explosive Documents Prove McAuliffe’s Administration Pushed CRT In Virginia Schools

That he was pushing CRT in his previous admin runs counter to claims by McAuliffe that critical race theory is not taught in Virginia classrooms.

McA dismissed CRT’s Marxist ideology as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”

“It’s not taught in Virginia, it’s never been taught in Virginia,” the Democrat gubernatorial candidate claimed in a recent interview.

The conventional wisdom is..... if its a close race, it is an easy steal for the Democrats.

PARENTS AT RISK BY A MCAULIFFE WIN SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE STEAL.

HERES WHAT TO DO:

Hold back ballot boxes on election night until 99% of Democrat boxes are in...... and counted.

Democrats hold back their ballot boxes so they’ll know how many phony ballots are needed to win .......without looking obvious.

And it’s why - when polls close at 8 PM - Democrats wait until midnight to get their ballot boxes in.

The Nation’s education system has become a major factor in the Va gubernatorial election since McAauliffe has never hidden his presidential ambitions.

In the planning stage for ages.......sexual assaults in schools were NOT REPORTED FOR FEAR OF HURTING MCAULIFFES POLITICAL AMBITIONS.
.....................................................

Control freak Democrat McAuliffe has launched a “War on Parents”
<><> he emphatically said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
<><> “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually remove books.”
<><> “I’m not going to let parents make their own decisions about their children.”

Black parents should be doubly concerned WRT McAuliffe’s declarations, since they feel deeply that educating their children is the key to gaining equity.

..............................................
THIS JUST IN...The pushback has been horrendous.
McAuliffe Scrambles to Course Correct; now says ‘My Words’ Were Taken ‘Out of Context’
