Texas is leaving the National School Boards Association
following a letter the group sent to the Department of Justice asking it to crack down on “threats of violence and acts of intimidation” at local school board meetings which “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
A portion of the DOJ response to the teachers Union's letter, was actually removed, and was not acted upon, but plans were actually being made to arrest parents in the early stages.
The decision makes Texas one of 30 states that have “distanced” themselves from the association in recent months over a controversial letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland. Many have left the NSBA.
"Senate Judiciary GOP calls upon AG Merrick Garland to testify before them again: “We remain deeply concerned that your October 4 Memorandum is being used by the DOJ and the FBI as a basis to pursue investigations against American parents for First Amendment-protected activities.”"
