Texas has become the latest state to sever ties with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) after an internal investigation disclosed more details about the national group’s effort to work with the Biden administration to potentially target concerned parents.

The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) on Monday said it had been “actively monitoring” how the NSBA handled the fallout caused by a letter (pdf) sent to President Joe Biden on Sept. 29, 2021, in which disruptions at school board meetings were characterized as “a form of domestic terrorism and hate crime.”
