The outrages and overreach of the National School Boards Association, apparently acting either at the request of the Biden administration or conspiring with them, are astounding.
The letter that allegedly prompted Attorney General Merrick Garland to declare parents “domestic terrorists” and to direct the FBI to investigate, harass, and intimidate ordinary American parents into silence was ridiculous on its face, and the Biden DOJ reacted abominably. Or so it seemed, but as we soon learned, the Biden administration was agitating for the NSBA to compose the letter and to demand federal intervention so that they could stomp out any dissent among the great unwashed.
And the horrific abuse of power and plans for the tyrannical treatment of American citizens on American soil don’t stop there. An internal review reportedly found that that NSBA was planning to request that the National Guard and military police be sent to school districts in which parents were protesting the racist indoctrination, harmful covid policies, school closures, and a host of other travesties inflicted upon our nation’s children.
The National School Boards Association planned to ask the Biden administration to deploy the Army National Guard and military police to school districts beset by parent protests over policies including mandatory masking and the teaching of critical race theory, an internal review has found.The stunning request was included in a draft letter to the president from September of last year, but was ultimately removed from the final version by the NSBA’s then-CEO Chip Slaven, according to a report from Milwaukee-based law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP.The letter that was ultimately sent, on Sept. 29, was signed by Slaven and then-president Viola Garcia and argued that verbal confrontations and other incidents at local school board meetings across the US constituted “acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials.”“[T]he classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes,” read the letter, which went on to ask the administration to “examine appropriate enforceable actions” under a raft of legislation — including the post-9/11 Patriot Act.
I won’t get started on the abomination of the Patriot Act, but it was (supposedly) never intended to be used against American citizens who attend and speak out at public school board meetings as if they are terrorists akin to al Qaeda. Yet it’s becoming more clear by the day that this is exactly what the Biden administration wants to do: treat anyone who opposes any aspect of their agenda, even parents who are protecting their children, as domestic terrorists to be rounded up by military police. On American soil. This is banana republic stuff, communist China stuff, and it cannot stand here in the United States of America.
The NSBA has suffered a great deal from their deal with the Biden administration. Well, except for their then-chief, Viola Garcia, who was rewarded for her tyranny-enabling perfidy with a cushy post.
Fox News reported at the time:
The Department of Education appointed the president of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to a federal board overseeing student progress, despite a controversial letter the organization sent urging the Biden administration to investigate opposition to school boards.Earlier this month, Viola Garcia was appointed by Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), which has oversight over the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
Cardona, you may recall, requested the letter that Garcia oversaw and sent to the DOJ.
Everyone who signed and/or approved the letter and remains at the NSBA is watching their organization crumble as Texas has now joined the ever-growing number of states dropping their membership.
It’s good that the NSBA is crumbling after its close coordination with the Biden administration, at least with both the DOE and the DOJ and who knows to what degree the White House was involved. Perhaps other organizations won’t be so quick to conspire against the American people and insist that upset suburban parents be treated by their own government like Osama bin Laden.
