National School Boards Association Apologizes for Letter Comparing Parents to Terrorists

The National School Boards Association has apologized for a letter that called on the Biden administration to investigate whether alleged threats against school-board members constituted domestic terrorism.

The NSBA Board of Directors apologized in a memorandum to members on Friday. The initial letter, sent on September 29, asked the administration to investigate whether alleged threats to school-board members, over masking policies and “propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory” in lessons, necessitated federal investigation.

Conservative media outlets have been crowing about this, and since I refuse to link to Fox News, NY Post, or the rest, so an indirect link will have to do.

The letter in question is here.  The retraction (with caveats) -

I mean, what was the NSBA thinking?  Equating people who threaten the lives and health of others in order to further their political position with "terrorists"?

[/end sarcasm]

It's not as if they were BLM protesters.

People who, in spite of being peaceful and non violent, Fox News and other conservative outlets insisted on labeling as "terrorists."
