The board of directors at the National School Boards Association has apologized for a recent letter to President Joe Biden, but not everyone is buying the claim.
The September 29 letter was signed by NSBA CEO Chip Slaven and president Viola Garcia and spoke of an increase in acts of “malice, violence, and threats against public school officials” – something the signers said “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism”. It also urged the Biden administration to invoke the Patriot Act, a bill passed in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America.

That letter precipitated Attorney General Merrick Garland (pictured) to tell the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate complaints of threats to school officials from parents. On Friday, the NSBA board said it regrets and apologizes for the letter, adding “there was no justification for some of the language in the letter.”
AFN spoke with Jenny Beth Martin, honorary chair of Tea Party Patriots Action. “They are trying to distance themselves because there is so much blowback,” she shared.
“Parents don’t take kindly to being accused of being domestic terrorists, and voters don’t take kindly to the people who they elect joining associations that would call their voters domestic terrorists – when all that the voter is doing it exercising First Amendment rights to hold government accountable and to petition for a redress of grievances.”
That, Martin explained, is constitutionally protected speech. “It’s difficult for me to believe that [the NSBA apology] is sincere,” said Martin, whose organization released a video over the summer urging parents to shut down the NSBA. “Perhaps it is; perhaps they’ve learned. But it was too well orchestrated to begin with.”
Last week, Fox News and other outlets reported that the Biden White House had been in contact with NSBA’s CEO for several weeks before sending the letter.
“They coordinated this letter with the White House and with the Biden administration before sending it to the FBI, and then the FBI immediately responded to it so this was well thought out beforehand and now they have blowback,” says Martin. “So, it’s difficult to believe [that apology] is sincere.”
On Monday, House Republicans called on Attorney General Garland to rescind his memo to the FBI telling agents to investigate.

And garland replied: I don’t know what you’re talking about but….Nah!
I take his apology not with a grain of salt, but a TON OF SALT…
We know this was an apology with crocodile tears because we are aware of how schoolboards lately have been treating parents who raise questions about their children’s education, especially the arrest of the father whose daughter was raped and was upset by his board’s reaction. The letter was their true feelings about education so vividly gubernatorian candidate Terry McAuliffe! They have become the villain in the scenario, the enemy of the children with their indoctrination schemes that have now come PUBLIC scrutiny. The fact that there planning ahead of the letter indicates there was collusion with the parties involved all the way up to the office of the President,
Exactly. THE WHITE HOUSE coordinated with the NSBS to WRITE that letter. SO it was DEFINITELY COLLUSION THERE… So where the hell is the GOP IN calling for impeachment over that!!!>!>!
Trying to save face.
If anyone is in agreement with this cult of an administration you cannot and should not believe anything uttered,written or sworn to by any of them.
Here is a quick confirmation of the scum that populates public school boards. A Florida school board member toke elementary students on a field trip to a GAY BAR. And she was honored. That’s the kind of trash that runs public schools in the country.
This deviant always looks like he contemplating where he will spend eternity.
Anything the Liberals say is a lie. Never ever believe them.
Garland needs to issue memo that DOJ is standing down & disbanding the “task force” assembled to intimidate & scare citizens making justifiable complaints at school boards.
A special or independent prosecutor needs to be assigned to investigate the egregious & criminal political bias of the DOJ career employees & upper level management that became apparent during Obama years.
Hillary admitted to exposing State secrets via using unsecure personal server which is gross negligence with or without specific intent & a crime per govt code.
Yet the “career prisecutors” & Comey / Lynch showing extreme political bias refused to prosecute.
Brennan, Clapper & McCabe are proven liars under oath & Comey admitted to leaking govt docs & was referred by IG for criminal charges None were charged or prosecuted by the politically biased DOJ. Yet Gen Flynn & Roger Stone were maliciously prosecuted & persecuted.
Where is the Garland memo to assemble federal task force to track down & prosecute the rioters who broke into the Interior bldg last month?
Where is the Garland memo to create federal task force to investigate BLM / antifa funding sources & their threats / acts of of violence made against police over last 2 years?
The stink of rampant Dem Party political bias & corruption in govt, media & big tech s/be designated a biohazard dangerous to health of all.
ALL Of the above, PROVES, without a shadow of a doubt, the ENTIRE dept of injustice, is SO ROTTEN out. THAT NOTHING about it can be saved…
