The National School Board Association requested help, so…it was requested. I don’t think it is political, what is political are a raft of poorly worded laws that make dangerous for teachers to teach anything about our country’s racial history or attacking people for mask mandates. It is crazy, this demonizing of teachers. There is a right way to vent frustrations but this isn’t it.
Some of the things happening…

The group’s letter documented more than 20 instances of threats, harassment, disruption, and acts of intimidation in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio and other states. It cited the September arrest of an Illinois man for aggravated battery and disorderly conduct for allegedly striking a school official at a meeting. In Michigan, a meeting was disrupted when a man performed a Nazi salute to protest masking.
We are coming after you,” a letter mailed to an Ohio school board member said, according to the group. “You are forcing them to wear mask — for no reason in this world other than control. And for that you will pay dearly.” It called the member “a filthy traitor.”
School board members are largely unpaid volunteers, parents School board members are largely unpaid volunteers, parents and former educators who step forward to shape school policy, choose a superintendent and review the budget, but they have been frightened at how their jobs have suddenly become a culture war battleground. The climate has led a growing number to resign or decide against seeking reelection. former educators who step forward to shape school policy, choose a superintendent and review the budget, but they have been frightened at how their jobs have suddenly become a culture war battleground.

On June 22, Scott Smith was arrested at a Loudoun County, Virginia, school board meeting, a meeting that was ultimately deemed an “unlawful assembly” after many attendees vocally opposed a policy on transgender students.
What people did not know is that weeks prior on May 28, Smith says, a boy allegedly wearing a skirt entered a girls’ bathroom at nearby Stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted Smith’s ninth-grade daughter.
Juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio, related to an incident that day at that school.

As a result of the viral video showing his arrest, Smith became the poster child for what the National School Boards Association has since suggested could be a form of “domestic terrorism”: a white blue-collar male who showed up to harangue obscure public servants on his local school board.
A woman at the meeting told the father she did not believe his daughter—Believe all women with penises?—which inflamed the man. The Loudon County sheriff’s office explained to Fox News: “We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest. This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case.”
While the school board banned the father, they did not ban the student charged with the May sexual assault. They shifted him to another school. “A teenager from Ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School,” the sheriff’s office publicized in a release about another case involving the same student earlier this month. “The investigation determined on the afternoon of October 6, the 15-year-old suspect forced the victim into an empty classroom where he held her against her will and inappropriately touched her.”
Gee, I wonder why parents are so incensed. I know, let's call the FBI and treat 'em like the domestic terrorists they are. Set fires and burn down public buildings, is fine, no domestic terrorism there, but raise hell at a school board meeting cannot be tolerated.
