Viola Garcia: The Texan Fighting Against Parents at the National School Boards Association
The Texas Association of School Boards refuses to withdraw from the national association, where one of their own has been leading the fight against parents.Following the National School Boards Association’s letter comparing parents protesting school policies to “domestic terrorism,” multiple state school board associations withdrew their membership or their dues from the NSBA. However, the Texas Association of School Boards has not withdrawn either membership or dues.
Since TASB refuses to resign from the national association, many Texans are asking why.
One answer may be Viola Garcia, the Texan who runs the NSBA.
Garcia, a former TASB president and current Aldine ISD school board member of 29 years, was selected as the NSBA president in April of this year.
The Texas Freedom Caucus wrote an open letter to all Texas Independent School Districts, calling on them to resign from TASB if TASB won’t resign from the NSBA. The Republican Party of Texas has echoed this call for local districts to resign from TASB.
