Note that “a person yelling ‘a Nazi salute in protest to masking requirements’ is not a Nazi, as the NSBA is trying to imply. He is calling the school board Nazis. Meanwhile, the fascist clowns of the NSBA would almost certainly object most strenuously to any honest exposition of the motivating ideology behind an actual form of terrorism, that is, Islamic jihad terrorism.
“School boards group asks Biden to consider labeling opponents ‘domestic terrorists,’” by Dave Huber, College Fix, September 30, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
The National School Boards Association has asked President Biden to look into slapping a “domestic terrorist” label on “angry” parents and community members who speak their minds at board meetings.
“America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat,” the group says in its letter to the president. “[As] 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.”
The NSBA wants the Gun-Free School Zones Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Violent Interference with Federally Protected Rights statute, and the Conspiracy Against Rights statute all invoked to help prevent alleged threats, Education Week reports.
The Departments of Education, Homeland Security, and Justice are requested to participate in a review, along with the FBI.
On Sept. 22, the NSBA, along with AASA, the School Superintendents Association, issued a joint statement condemning “online and in-person threats, abuse and harassment.” AASA President Daniel Domenech said that while his group respected the right of free speech, “We cannot—and will not—tolerate aggression, intimidation, threats and violence toward superintendents, board members and educators.”
But some of the instances cited by the NSBA in its letter appear to be free speech, to say nothing of “terrorism.” For example, the group cites a person yelling “a Nazi salute in protest to masking requirements,” while another’s actions “prompted [a] board to call a recess because of opposition to critical race theory.”…

I read this earlier. I also recall several years ago, the neo-nazis were marching and saluting and shouting and it was all labeled “Free speech” and it was just that. Before the days of biden.
We are guaranteed the freedom to speak even if someone else doesn’t like to hear what we say. Of course, that’s just what God told us and what was written in that old paper, the Constitution.
In Boston, there is a flag pole. Sometimes the city flag is lowered and another flag is raised on the pole…pride, other nation’s flags, such as Cuba, fly. Christians wanted to fly theirs, but the city said no as it didn’t want people to think they would promote Christianity. This has gone to the Supreme Court.
Now, the teachers and their unions don’t wish parents to be saying anything they don’t want to hear. They are not afraid of the parents actually being violent; they are afraid someone might listen to the parents and agree.
That guy trying to run VA has said parents don’t have a say in what is taught in schools.
(The Constitution is in disagreement with him, but he probably either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about that.)
Of course, biden and company probably will label these parents domestic terrorists because they are saying something is wrong….and biden and crew have decided that they won’t tolerate any dissent, or dislike of themselves.

Nazi rhetoric ‘racist’: ‘On Thursday, two state lawmakers expressed disgust over the Nazi salute.
“I am shocked and appalled to see the use of racist, Nazi language and imagery in our community, particularly by parents attending a school board meeting. Let me be clear: racism, anti-Semitism, and any other forms of bigotry and hate have no room in our discourse or our community, and I forcefully condemn the use of this phrase and gesture at yesterday’s Board of Education meeting,” Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, said. “For the last 18 months, our state, country, and world have suffered a collective trauma. But the use of Nazi phrases and gestures is beyond the pale in any context; it disrespects the memory of those murdered in the Holocaust and dishonors the values of our community.’
Nazi rhetoric ‘not irresponsible’: ‘Hundreds of demonstrations in the U.S. against Israeli policy took place during the three-week-long war, many of which featured signs and slogans that referred to Israelis as Nazis, condemned the alleged “Palestinian Holocaust” and referred to Gaza as a “ghetto” or a “concentration camp.” The predominant image of these rallies featured a swastika being compared to the Star of David, the national symbol of Israel. …Richard Falk: “Is it an irresponsible overstatement to associate the treatment with Palestinians with the criminalized Nazi record of collective atrocity? I think not.” https://www.adl.org/news/article/demonizing-israel-the-anti-israel-movements-exploitation-of-the-holocaust

The immoderate Left is shocked, shocked, I say, that two can play the game they’ve perfected. My school system is also pushing use of preferred pronouns and affirmation of a sexually confused student’s “authentic self”.

…………..
Exactly. This is insanity. I agree with some educational policies, and not with others. But peacefully opposing *any* policy does not make the critic a “domestic terrorist”. Just grotesque calumny.
tgusa says
Leftists. Everyone who disagrees with us are terrorists. They want the fbi to step in and terrorize their critics and I would suspect that most of those people are parents who care about their kids. They admitted that what they are doing could lead to a backlash from caring parents. What a group of creeps they are. If you really want to send them further over the edge post their bio’s with pictures.

History – -examples of how power in the wrong hands can lead to such atrocities, what is next martial law?

A conservative private school – or home schooling – are the only two good options today.

I have a theory that long term, as most to all of our jobs get automated, raising and teaching our kids will be the only jobs we have left

I can only imagine what this will look like when it swings back the other direction.
They better hope life does not imitate their art.

I hope it does, and our side doesn’t keep repeating the ‘We are better than that’ meme

Josh Groban sang a song, “Happy In My Heartache.” One line repeated, “I’m better than that.” But, he means that he’s better than being happy in his heartache…as though he is done with the entire thing she put him through.
I’m kind of done with all of this nonsense, control, lies, demands, commands and “man dates.” It’s very tiring on the body and soul, the mind and the heart.
Homeschooling is very rewarding. One gets to go beyond teaching their kids how to walk, talk, eat with a spoon and dress themselves properly.
OLD GUY says
It is always amazing how there is always someone who thinks they know better then everyone else. In the near future we the citizens need to be vary careful of who we elect into public office. One problem is that we the people have little choice in national and state wide elections due to the political party system that chooses who gets to run for offices. On the local level we can control who runs our communities and school districts.
Get out and VOTE, but VOTE informed.

“Get out and VOTE, but VOTE informed.”
True enough, but let’s first fix those pesky voting machines…

Rule of thumb: When taunting people about their use of Nazi tactics, DO NOT demonstrate said behavior. It just gives them an excuse to accuse YOU. Point out how what they are doing is fascist, with examples, most of them are clueless about real history anyway.
School boards are elected/appointed/whatever from the local community. What are the parents expected to do — go on their knees, hat in hand, and humbly beg these petty tyrants to stop teaching their kids hate, perversion, and Marxim while their faces are muffled? If I were a parent in these school districts, at this point I would be looking at my neighbors with apprehension and horror.
In my town the Wokes are running around with their hair on fire because they found “graffiti”. Most of them support the Fakestinians so if they are upset about the Nazi/antisemitic ones they have no further to look than in the mirror. They are two-faced and shameless.
