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.

This organization has already lost one member over its leftist over-reach and this letter is just a PR stunt hoping to salvage what it can. Why school boards need a national voice is a sign of local laziness and the failure of parental responsibilities.

3, parents are taking responsibility. And getting called terrorists for it. Don't blame the parents for the stupidity and ultra left bias on school boards. What should have been simple volunteer positions were taken over nationwide by the Marxists and we now see the results. And parents do not like it. I expect a number of school board members to learn their place at the next election if they survive their positions that long. The ones in Virginia covering up that poor girl's rape are looking at jail time.

There is no way that this attempted bell un-ringing will word. They called us terrorists and we will never forget that.

Too late. Parents are now fully aware of what teachers associations really think about them.

I read this morning that school funding is based on enrollment in Wisconsin, it should be that way everywhere.
This started long before the "parents are terrorists" bell rang. The public schools have been failing and abusing children for decades. Suspended for eating a cookie into the "shape of a gun"? Twerking transgender story time? CRT and forced injections were the last straws, there is no putting the paste back in that tube. Soon the public schools will only have the children of deranged leftists.

Don't believe them. They are lying. They really do think concerned parents are dangerous. The DOJ was caught and it's election time. They are frightened that the republicans will take over the school boards. We plan on doing just that.

I have stated many times God or government, it is your choice. I have also said many times to get yourself a Life Application NIV Study Bible and that is your choice. To not do so, you are missing out on the most wonderful love story ever told. With that said, the government has taken over so many industries. Health, finance, transportation, education, businesses etc. and, in doing so, they have taken God out of so many of these entities. With taking God out of society, industries, and personal lives there is a void or gap they think they can fill better.
I think we are becoming fully aware what government is doing to us. I have also stated many times that liberalism is a rejection of God's ways and that leads me to my next point. In society, industry, and our personal lives we have a lot of liberals in leadership positions and they are in destruction mode. By taking God out of everything, people have become unequipped and then look to false leadership. Right now, that applies to quite a few entities. . .

A clarification just in case: unequipped = without God

Apology? Not remotely good enough. How about shutting down your organization completely. Once the lawsuits are done you’ll probably have to do it anyway.

The Republicans in Gov't need to DO Something!. They are allowing leftists to control every aspect of our lives and it must STOP. They are pushing crap into our bodies, taking over the children, control our speech, and have access all of our bank accounts. This is NOT acceptable.
The Biden Admin needs to be impeached and removed from DC and NO leftist can be allowed in Gov't again.

They got outed. They even consulted the WH before asking Garland for protection. And why did Garland even agree to such an egregious plan?
Thank God for conservative news.

Too late now you over-educated, under-brained bunch of morons. In your moment of excitement you revealed your true feelings and intentions. Now all of the parents out there know what you have planned for them and their children. The public school system began to die last week and the process can not be stopped. You overplayed a hand of deuce, four, six, eight and Joker.

Chances are they are seeing a lot of their client local school boards bailing out of their membership in the National School Boards Association that is aligned with he liberal Democrats, that is probably the reason for the “quick” apology. By doing that they are also slapping down both Biden, and his Attorney General who played rope-a-dope last week during his congressional testimony.

When Condoleece Rice says there is CRT in schools and wrong headed people should listen. Notice how little that exchange is being played?
CRT and Antifa exist.

I bet they all thought it was a wonderful idea, but now see it has backfired.
Thus, likely more of a PR stunt to try and fool parents and grand parents, AGAIN.
Most parents have simply allowed the teachers union folks to dictate what will be done and taught in schools by stating "we are the experts, and we know what's best".
Unfortunately, millions of children have not been taught well enough, particularly in the inner-cities, for decades, and it's hurt their chances and opportunities more than anything. And, democrats have fought to prevent any sort of school choice or other option.

The NSBA letter was the only evidence Garland had (or needed) to launch a jihad against the parents. He owes everyone an apology. What a tool.

Here's an idea. How about we limit public schools to teaching academic subjects only. Leave the sexual, social, psychological, political, and polemical subjects to the parents' discretion. I suspect such a proposal would get overwhelming approval from the "stake holders," i.e. the parents of public school children.

Whether it involves losing an election or public support for legislation, liberals always claim the real fault was a failure to do a "better job of messaging." In other words, "people would have brought our prize pig if we had dressed it in better clothes."

".....there was no justification......" sounds rather vague and abstract to me. Do they mean '"there can be no justification'" or perhaps " there is no justification"?
And I suspect they wanted intended it to be "vague and abstract".

In the process destroying any credibility that DOY Secretary Garland may have still had! What a huge partisan grenade within the SCOTUS was avoided there?

Too little, too late. You equated concerned parents with terrorists, and now you are trying to weasel out because your members are leaving left and right, and taking their money with them.
