The letter from the NSBA was sent to President Biden last week. “America’s public schools and its education leaders are under immediate threat,” the letter read, saying that the NSBA “respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats and violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation.”

The letter from the NSBA cites incidents of impassioned parents who have become aggressive at school board meetings, writing that “As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
