National School Board Official Demands Biden Use Patriot Act Against Protesting Parents

In the first place, God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made school boards.
–Mark TwainSchool board meetings have been a real flashpoint over the past years as entrenched, unresponsive, and largely uncaring bureaucrats have been confronted by the people who see the results of their self-dealing and contempt on a daily basis…those people would be called “parents.” The primary topics generating controversy are Critical Race Theory, remote vs. onsite learning, and mask/vaccination policies. But I’d argue that these are the canary-in-the-coal-mine. In other words, frustration and anger over school board actions on many topics have been building over the recent years, and it took a perfect storm of wokeness and the Wuhan virus to bring ordinarily politically unengaged parents out to public hearings. For their part, school boards have generally reacted to this increased attention the way petty tyrants do everywhere. They make it difficult for citizens to testify. They abruptly shut off microphones. They cancel meetings of the flimsiest of pretexts. They have security forces empty the venue and forcibly remove witnesses.
Now the National School Boards Association has decided that not even local security forces are sufficient. So it is demanding that Joe Biden order federal law enforcement make protecting school boards against a manufactured threat a priority.
