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.”"

Yup. Just hand over the kids and they'll indoctrinate them with no holds barred.

The spooks just love "hearts and minds" project, but first you have to rid yourself of those threats (reads parents).
Here's to them btw. I'm glad that they're engaging and challenging what's being taught in school. They have a right to know. The ONLY thing I would say is that physical threatening and intimidation is very unproductive, and gives DOJ a reason to both react and label. They will be better served to know the subject matter, ask pointed, intelligent questions and demand answers. Nothing is gained in a shouting match, though when it's your kids, you can't help it being an emotional impact.
