Bombshell: Education secretary solicited school board association “domestic terror” letter about parents

And the plot thickens.

Newly released emails show that Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was behind the letter sent last September from the National School Boards Association which requested federal intervention against parents protesting at school board meetings, comparing them to “domestic terrorists,” the New York Post reports.

An email shows that on October 6, NSBA Secretary-Treasurer Kristi Swett told NSBA board member Marnie Maraldo that Chip Slaven, then serving as interim CEO of the organization had admitted to fellow officers that “he was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cardona.”

The email was obtained based on a public records request by Parents Defending Education and shared with the Post. This provides a smoking gun tying the letter directly into the Biden administration.

On September 29, Slaven wrote Biden and suggested parents objecting to mask mandates, as well as opposed to the teaching of critical race theory in schools were engaging in “a form of domestic terrorism”.

He asked the administration to “examine appropriate enforceable actions,” including the use of the PATRIOT Act, legislation enacted in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks ostensibly to protect against international-based terrorist attacks on the homeland.

On that same day, the Post said, Slaven told fellow NSBA officers that he had been “in talks over the last several weeks with White House staff” who “requested additional information on some of the specific threats.”

Meanwhile on October 4, just two days before the exchange between Swett and Maraldo, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the Department of Justice would unleash federal law enforcement assets such as the FBI to take the lead on looking into that he referred to as “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff.”

Cardona should be arrested and prosecuted for sedition as a start. Then add the next 20 felonies.

Why is this a surprise?

Joe isn't running the show and the left has no filter when tyranny is at hand.

The implications here are massive.....Fox News reports:

Bidens Secy of Ed Miguel Cardona actually solicited the NSBA letter that compared concerned parents to domestic terrorists,

An email exchange indicates Cardona was more involved with the NSBA letter’s creation than previously known.

Biden’s DOJ relied on the NSBA letter, directing the FBI to mobilize in support of local education officials.

On the Oct. 5 email, NSBA Secretary-Treasurer Kristi Swett recounted that NSBA interim CEO Chip Slaven told the officers he was “writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cardona, which suggested using the Patriot Act against parents.”


NOTE Dickens immortalized this “Artful Dodger”....Joe Bidung... his cunning personality and practiced conniving, escaping responsibility for illegalities by disguising himself as “a man of the people.”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) called on Cardona to resign.

No. Cardona should be put in prison for the rest of his life.

Gov’t dweebs love to pretend that they are some sort of special behavior monitors. Little cowardly shyts with their gov’t positions think that everyone in the world must kowtow to their overbearing personal abuse of power. Really. These little twits are worthless education bureaucrats. As such they deserve no respect or even the time of day. Their incompetence and gross failures are glaringly obvious to any rational person. These people belong in prison for what they have done to education. They are terrified that someone might do the right thing. Their fear is palpable as they know they deserve what they fear will happen.

It's not sedition if the action is done by the government and for the government. It's oppression, it's abuse of office, and he should be pilloried. But, as I understand it, if an oppressive government is in place, and it does oppressive things, it isn't sedition.

What do you expect when communists are in charge. The next logical step is for kids to snitch on their parents.

Hardly a bombshell. The entire top level of the Federal government in this illegally installed regime is a rolling conspiracy against the Constitution and the law.

Government people are largely exempt from justice. There are a few who get hung out to dry now and then just to make the rubes think they get justice — Blagojevich, Jesse Jackson Jr., George Ryan, Ray Nagin, Kramer Kilpatrick, William Jefferson, etc.

But it seems at the federal level they have foolproof armor (unless you have an “R” by your name).
