Fox News
The Department of Education appointed the president of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to a federal board overseeing student progress this month, despite a controversial letter the organization sent urging the Biden administration to investigate opposition to school boards.
The NAEP, according to its website, was first administered in 1969 and "is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in subjects such as mathematics, reading, science, and writing."
Garcia signed the Sept. 29 letter asking the Biden administration to review threats and violence against education administrators and schools to determine if they violate the Patriot Act and hate crime laws. The letter came amid clashes between angry parents and educators over COVID-19 policies and critical race theory being taught in classrooms.
The letter went on to address hostilities toward school boards as possible acts of "domestic terrorism," claiming there had been an increase in "acts of malice, violence and threats against public school officials."
