427,000 Parents Respond to National School Board Association Labeling Them 'Domestic Terrorists'

Last week, PJ Media covered the hysterical and threatening letter written by National School Boards Association president Viola Garcia.

In the letter sent to none other than President Joe Biden, Garcia accused America's concerned parents of threats, intimidation, and even "Hate crimes" rising to the level of "Domestic terrorism" for having the gall to speak up at their local school board meetings.

NSBA cites a tiny number of minor incidents in order to insinuate that parents who are criticizing and protesting the decisions of school boards are engaging in, or may be engaging in, "Domestic terrorism and hate crimes." NSBA even invokes the PATRIOT Act.

The association of legitimate protest with terrorism and violence reveals both your contempt for parents and your unwillingness to understand and hear the sincere cries of parents on behalf of their children.

To equate parents with terrorists dishonors the thousands of victims of actual terrorism around the world.

The parent organizations pointed out that the NSBA's call for the federal government to use its power against parents was in itself a menacing and "Thinly veiled threat, intended to intimidate into silence and submission the very constituents that [the NSBA] members ostensibly represent." I mean, what else would you call asking the president to sic the Department of Justice, the FBI, Homeland Security, the Secret Service Assessment Center, and the Postal Service on America's parents?

It is very revealing that instead of listening to and addressing the concerns of parents, the NSBA chose "To smear their constituents rather than engage with them in good faith." The concerns of parents are, of course, due to the leftist policies embraced and implemented by the school boards that are supposedly accountable to the parents of their respective districts.
