IN RESPONSE to a vocal outbreak of parent protests at school board meetings nationwide, the National School Board Association has demanded federal assistance to 'stop threats and acts of violence against public education 'leaders'.

“America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat,” reads the letter signed by NSBA President Viola M. Garcia and NSBA interim Executive Director and CEO Chip Slaven. “The National School Boards Association respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation.”

The letter asks the federal government to “investigate, intercept, and prevent the current threats and acts of violence against public school officials through existing statutes, executive authority, interagency and intergovernmental task forces, and other extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of our children and educators, to protect interstate commerce, and to preserve public school infrastructure and campuses.”

And so Merrick Garland's Department of Justice rushes to respond.

Michael Ramirez takes note:

The unanswered question: What threats and acts of violence?

I agree with Megan Fox: take a page out of the Democrats' playbook and sue the bastards. Then kick 'em out of office at the first opportunity.
