With the Wisconsin Association of School Boards’ (WASB) decision to cut ties with the National School Boards Association (NSBA), more than half of the nation’s state school board associations have withdrawn from the group since it sent a letter to the Justice Department to investigate parents for “domestic terrorism.”
“Parents have seen the inside of the public school beast and understand better than ever who is feeding this beast, and are responding with a loud voice of not my child, not on my watch,” Moms for America Senior Director Quisha King told Fox News Digital. “US State school boards associations are seeing the reactions of parents in many ways, from speaking up at school board meetings to getting their children out of these classrooms and state school boards know they do not want more problems with parents across America.”
The NSBA’s infamous letter to the Justice Department in September 2021 asked for parents protesting at school board meetings to be federally looked into, saying school officials were facing threats and violence at meetings. The letter requested that actions should be examined under the Patriot Act as domestic terrorism. The NSBA later apologized for the letter’s language.
