The South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA), facing pressure from Republican lawmakers, has voted to discontinue its membership with the national federation that likened concerned parents to domestic terrorists.
The decision comes weeks after the National School Board Association (NSBA) apologized for a widely criticized letter, in which the organization characterized disruptions at school board meetings as “a form of domestic terrorism and hate crime” and urged the Biden administration to invoke counter-terrorism laws to handle “angry mobs” of parents seeking to hold school officials accountable for teaching the Marxist-inspired critical race theory to their children and for imposing COVID-19 restrictions such as mask mandates on them.
