On Thursday, the Pennsylvania School Board Association became the first school district in the US to officially end their membership with the National School Board Association.
The Pennsylvania members voted unanimously to leave the group after the National board sent a letter to Biden that asked him to use federal agencies to investigate, disrupt, and prosecute concerned parents who speak out against radical school policies and CRT-based curriculums.
The NSBA letter was the "Final straw" for the Pennsylvania board who worked quickly to hold a vote.
"The governing board of the Pennsylvania School Board Association has voted unanimously to cancel PSBA's long-standing membership in the National School Boards Association. The decision was reached following significant deliberations and discussions with counsel and management."
"The value of the NSBA federation membership has been questioned numerous times over the past several years both within Pennsylvania and amongst many other state school boards associations."
According to Parents Defending Education - a national advocacy group - School Board Associations from 16 different states have disassociated from the NSBA in some way or another after their letter was sent to Biden.
"I am writing to you today on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Florida School Boards Association to voice our concern of the letter the National School Boards Association sent to President Joe Biden dated September 29, 2021, without consultation of our association or your own board of directors. FSBA strongly encourages a review of NSBA leadership and its processes, as well as urges a public acknowledgement of the federal overreach expressed in your letter."
