Internal documents released Thursday confirm that the National School Boards Association coordinated with the White House before formally sending a letter to the Biden administration requesting federal intervention to probe and potentially prosecute parents for threatening school administrators.
In an October 12 memo , obtained by the nonprofit Parents Defending Education, NSBA president Viola Garcia stated that the organization had been “actively engaged” with federal departments including the White House, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, before sending their letter to the president.
Chip Slaven, NSBA’s interim executive director, wrote in a September 29 email that the letter, which characterized parents as potential “domestic terrorists,” was revised to include details of “specific threats” at White House staff’s urging. As a result, the NSBA letter cited 24 local news outlet items detailing “threats” parents leveled against school board members, the vast majority of which did not constitute criminal threats.
In response to the letter, which the NSBA has since apologized for, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a Department of Justice order mobilizing the FBI to coordinate with federal law enforcement to target parents deemed to be engaging in “threatening” behavior against school board members.
“In talks over the last several weeks with White House staff, they requested additional information on some of the specific threats, so the letter also details many of the incidents that have been occurring,” Slaven said in the email.
During a September 14 meeting, the executive directors of the group’s state chapters were notified that the NSBA had spoken with the White House about the letter that same day, Garcia claims in her memo. While the state chapters appear to have been given some advanced warning that a letter requesting federal intervention would be sent, they do not appear to have been given any specifics regarding the harsh language that would be used.
In addition to the state chapters being left in the dark, some members of the board of directors of the NSBA say they were not consulted or involved in the decision either, correspondence shows. Twenty-four NSBA state chapters distanced themselves from the letter amidst widespread condemnation from parents, and at least 12 state groups have formally disaffiliated from the parent organization.
Nicole Neily, president of Parents Defending Education, believes that Slaven and Garcia acted unilaterally and without the board’s consent in sending President Biden the letter.
“The NSBA board was not briefed. This was totally rogue,” she said.
In an October 11 email , Andrea Messina, executive director of the Florida state school board association, told Beverly Slough, a member of the NSBA board of directors, that she did not recall Slaven ever mentioning any communication with the White House during the September 14 meeting.
Referring to the headquarters’ plea for federal assistance to investigate parents, Messina said: “I do not recall his asking them for help at all and, like you, believe that even if I had missed it one of my colleagues would’ve picked up on it.”
In her reply, Slough affirmed that the board of directors were not clued in to the White House–NSBA collaboration. “As expected. I just cannot believe this part at all. Inconceivable that none of you would have referenced such a communication in all the back and forth,” she said.
In response to Garcia’s explanatory October memo, Pam Doyle, another member of the board of directors, pressed her on why the members of the board were left out of the loop.
“The members questioned why they were not consulted on the contents of the letter as well as the board’s involvement, or lack thereof. If I read the above paragraphs correctly, the origin of the letter began September 14th with a meeting with the White House staff, but fails to specify who met with the White House staff,” Doyle says.
Speaking on behalf of the board, Doyle also demanded to know which specific individual was behind the letter to the Biden administration and under what authority that individual sent it.
“It goes further to say ‘NSBA’ was preparing a letter to send to the President, failing once again to state the person that was preparing the letter, only an entity – NSBA. The members asked specifically who wrote the letter, by what authority the letter was written, and who or how many states asked for federal intervention. This letter fails to adequately answer the specific questions about the lack of input from the members and Board in the letter to the President,” Doyle concludes.

Marxists always overstep themselves.
They apparently believe they are impervious to the consequences of their actions or maybe, they believe they can cause force a “final” solution whereby they don’t have to experience those consequences.
Whatever the case, they are evil, just plain evil.
The entire FedMob gov is rogue now. They are the insurrectionists.

Impeach 46.
It shouldn't surprise me, but they're also just astonishingly stupid.
Actual rogues should be smart.
"Come on, Mr. Slaven! It isn't enough that these parents weren't bowing respectfully to you and remaining silent when you commanded! We can't prosecute them on that! Are you absolutely sure that they didn't actually say something threatening? Or that at least made you feel uncomfortable?"
Regards,
Can we say biden is a lost man in a suit??
And can we say someone else is the stand in for the illegal lost man in a suit...
Can someone who knows, tell me if that situation i just described, is legal.. is it written anywhere that another person, not elected and unknown... be making de unions for this country.
And us there any way or will to fix this concocted mess.
I raised my family to be honest and trustworthy.. as did many other parents.
And we are living with the most serious case of dishonesty and officials all over are not bothered by it.
You think we don’t care? We the people are the only ones left who does!
Lock them up.
Courtesy ping.....
were this two businesses, there would be anti-trust charges filed.
But as this is democrats and special interest grpups/unions colluding, nothing to see here, folks.
So it’s more astroturfing by the junta
They never thought twice about push back to illegal actions. Arrogance and the belief that they are in charge.
DOJ, FBI and CIA have lost trust. The entire world knows about criminal government. Biden is making Amerika a NAZI run state.
It is the #ComDem_Way. They reward loyal soldiers in the long battle to Communist Despotism.
NSBA President Viola Garcia conspired with the Biden Administration to label parents as domestic terrorists. Then she got a prestigious appointment in a cushy, high-powered federal government job.

Biden Admin Taps School Board Association Honcho For Post In Wake Of Infamous Letter (Oct 25, 2021)
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Oct. 13 appointed National School Boards Association president Viola Garcia to the National Assessment Governing Board, which develops the tests used to track student achievement across the country. Garcia was behind a Sept. 29 letter urging President Joe Biden to have the FBI monitor school board meetings for potential violence. The Department of Justice formed a task force on Oct. 4 consisting of the FBI and Justice Department’s national security and civil rights divisions, sparking outrage from parent groups who say the administration is trying to stifle parents who oppose mask mandates and left-wing curricula.
Garcia’s position on the board could raise questions about whether the appointment was linked to her advocacy work at the National School Board Association. Emails reported by the Washington Free Beacon show Garcia coordinated with the Biden White House and Department of Education in the weeks before releasing the controversial letter. "These are troubling times. NSBA has been engaged with the White House and the Department of Education on these and other issues related to the pandemic for several weeks now," Garcia wrote in an Oct. 2 email obtained by the group Parents Defending Education.

Conclusion? Collusion. It is time to eliminate the US Department of (Re)Education. Fire Education Secretary Miguel Cardona!
