I've learned that the FBI/Justice Dept is going after folk who target and conspire to attack school board members. And that the National School Board Association requested it. Board members, across the country, are being threatened!
Posts like these are not only incorrect, but disingenuous!
Any parent has a say, they can voice their concerns and recommend changes but they don't get to threaten board members.
That isn't what you said, you said, "and those school board members were elected by a majority, a very vocal minority of parents doesn’t get to change policy."
And yet schools all over this nation have had MANY policies changed precisely because of a very vocal minority of parents, maybe only one or two, and over the wishes of the majority that elected the school board.

What does "unaddressed" mean? Is that where the school board president nods and says, "thank you for your input" and then the board does what they want anyway? Is that "addressing" the issue?
The Loudoun School Board (VA) transgender policy clearly did not have majority support from the voters, and yet the LSB passed it. Is that addressing the concerns of parents?

They don't get to change policy unilaterally, they may be unhappy with a policy but the school board members have the final say. Yes schools have changed policy after considering input from parents, school dress codes, adding advance placement classes, I don't see constructive debate from many of these people.

School boards are very respectful to parents after all they are also parents. They usually indicate they will take more complicated suggestions and come to an agreement.
Transgender policy is set at the state level, it's up to the schools to accommodate, I don't see that the parents voted on the policy which passed the board 7-2 with before a small number of parents. Regardless they need to accommodate these students, did parents propose spending money on the construction of separate locker rooms and bathrooms
When Attorney General Merrick Garland’s goon squad came for parents
Quote:
Last fall, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was not using counterterrorism statutes to investigate parents who were exercising their First Amendment rights at local school board meetings.
Last week, the House Judiciary Committee produced evidence that Garland's FBI was doing just that.
“Like you, I can’t imagine any circumstance in which the PATRIOT Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor can I imagine a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorism,” Garland told the committee last October.
