When news broke that the National School Board Association (NSBA) urged federal officials to brand parents protesting far-left classroom curriculums on race and sex as “domestic terrorists,” it sparked a stampede of angry members out the group’s exits.

At last count, nearly half of the NSBA’s state associations have either left the group or are making plans to do so. Six members of the NSBA’s national board of directors have also resigned and more departures may be coming. All of those leaving are refusing to be associated with the “protesting-parents-are-terrorists” policy.
