The National School Boards Association recently sent a six-page letter to President Biden asking for “federal law enforcement and other assistance” to protect school board members and other education officials in public settings. “Acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes,” advised the letter, which can be found at NSBA.org. “There must be safeguards to be in place to protect public schools and dedicated education leaders as they do their jobs,” the organization said.

And too often, the subjects they actually ought to be learning are being taught ineffectively, or sometimes not at all,” said Terry Schilling, president of the organization, in a statement shared with Inside the Beltway. “In a sane world, under a sane president, the Department of Justice would be investigating public school officials for a complete dereliction of duty in adequately educating and forming the next generation of American citizens.
