A new threat has risen across the fruited plain. No, not drug runners, gang members, or others sneaking across our porous southern border – while the Feds are distracted by crowds of “refugees.” It’s parents. Parents are the rising threat to domestic tranquility.
The national organization of public school boards is calling on the Biden administration to protect its members from “angry mobs” of parents who protest against COVID-19 restrictions placed on students and the teaching of critical race theory, characterizing the protests as “domestic terrorism.”
Put another way, people you elected, many of whom you also pay to represent your interests, want Joe Biden to declare you a terrorist. Is it the lack of firebombing, looting, assault, murder, and Black Lives Matters signs, because I’m sure they could arrange that. You know, make them look more like peaceful protesters.
“As these threats and acts of violence have become more prevalent,” the letter claims, “NSBA respectfully asks that a joint collaboration among federal law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement, and with public school officials be undertaken to focus on these threats.”
Specifically, the NSBA asked that federal agencies such as FBI, the Secret Services, and the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security “investigate, intercept, and prevent the current threats and acts of violence” by whatever “extraordinary measures” necessary.
You want parents who form groups or organize local taxpayers to petition the government for redress to be labeled as terror cells.
Have I got that right?
And who elected you?
Nobody, of course.
NSBA is a not-for-profit organization. The public policy agenda is determined by a Delegate Assembly made up of local school board members who represent their state associations of school boards. The Board of Directors translates this policy into action. Programs and services are administered by NSBA’s Executive Director & CEO, and by professional staff. NSBA is headquartered within the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area in Alexandria, Virginia.
People who don’t want to listen to you have petitioned an NGO to petition the Federal government to suppress your constitutional right to petition the same government (in the form of locally elected school boards)
BLM signs, that’s the ticket. You know, Board Lives Matter. How could they resist any demand you made after that?
