The National School Boards Association backs down: A Significant Victory for Parents and a Black Eye for Merrick Garland and the White House
American Thinker ^ | 10/23/2021 | Andrea Widburg

At one point, it looked as if Biden's DOJ and FBI were in the catbird seat waging war against parents who dared challenge leftist dominance in schools in the form of school boards authorizing Critical Race Theory, gender madness, and masks on healthy children. The wheel of fortune has turned, though. Merrick Garland exposed his ignorance and partisanship before congress, and the National School Boards Association (NSBA) has offered a groveling apology. It works to push back against ascendant leftism.

The big news week before last was that an organization most people had never heard of — the NSBA — had sent a letter to the White House informing the administration that parents opposing school boards were probably domestic terrorists. Practically by return mail, Merrick Garland assured the NSBA that the FBI would work with school boards across America to stop this plague. Parents rightly understood that they were being threatened.

In short order, though, the house of cards that the administration, the NSBA, and the DOJ had constructed began to collapse. First, we learned that the primary news story to which the NSBA pointed to make its case about domestic terrorism was anything but. Instead, it was school district terrorism.

A 14-year-old high school girl was sexually assaulted by a cross-dressing boy in the girl's bathroom. The school refused to call law enforcement against the boy; instead, it called law enforcement to remove her furious father, who was calling the principal names. The father was eventually able to prove that there was an assault through a rape kit, allowing the sheriff's department to get involved.

At that point, the district swung into self-protection mode. The superintendent immediately informed the school board about the assault, and then all of them got mass amnesia, leading them to deny any knowledge

They also transferred the student who committed the assault (and who apparently admitted to the fact) to another school, where he promptly assaulted another girl.

For those who don't know or haven't followed the news...

The NSBA's narrative crumbled further when it emerged that the original NSBA letter came not from the NSBA's board, but from the president and CEO, who had consulted with the White House before sending the letter without the board's knowledge or approval.  It was a rogue operation.

Finally, although Merrick Garland squirmed and prevaricated, it emerged that, when he sicced the FBI on parents across America, he hadn't bothered to learn whether there really was an epidemic of parent attacks on school boards.  Maybe he even watched this video:

Had Garland actually investigated, he would have learned that there were parents who used their time at board meetings to harangue board members, but that's free speech, not terrorism.  Garland simply read the letter, had a hazy idea about some news stories, and he was off.

On Friday, the last chapter in this disgusting farce played out when the NSBA's board sent out a letter to its member boards across America apologizing for what had happened and promising that "we are going to do better going forward."

If I were the parent, a track that animal down and kill it. If I were later on the jury, I would vote for innocent.

BREAKING: NSBA apologizes for letter that served as basis for @TheJusticeDept AG #Garland’s directive for FBI to target parents as “domestic terrorists,” including #LoudounScandal outrageously labeling dad of rape victim as poster-boy of domestic terrorism.

That's good for now, but they are still at war with us and still consider harming children under their care to be acceptable collateral damage.

People still need to get their children out of the hands of their enemies.

Since most counties in the US are red, it is hard to imagine that this was actually a popular move.

Get your kids out of public schools now...this attitude will not go away. Commie teachers unions have taken over American education with the intent to destroy this country through the kids.

Jim Jordan (R-OH) did a masterful job going after Garland. Garland kept trying to change the subject, but Jordan wouldn’t let him. If you haven’t done so, watch the video. It’s worth a few minutes of time. I LOVE watching Jordan in attack mode going after these smug, self-righteous commie sleazebags.

Oh there is very much a plague of attacks from parents demanding that the schools teach their kids things like reading, writing and arithmetic - which is just so trite and old fashioned that no one should have to listen to that nonsense in this modern era.

There are some interesting reviews on one of the most recently resigned offender's business.

Also it was discovered that Gstland’s SIL makes a crap load of money pushing CRT.

I’m sure that had nothing to do with the backtracking. Nope, not one thing…

Just a strategic retreat. Watch what they do in the future, not what they say. The Left excels at sneaky, relentless incrementalism.

So they apologized... SO WHAT?!?!?!?!

Do you think the NSBA, the DoJ, the congress, the media have changed their opinions of us?
Do you think they are going to reform and stop trying to rule us the way Lords do over the peons?

Give me a break.
