OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A disruption at an Oshkosh School Board meeting is being cited by a national school board advocacy group as they ask for federal law enforcement protection for school board members.
In a letter to President Joe Biden, the National School Boards Association 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 group says board members are facing threats over pandemic face mask requirements as well as the purported teaching of critical race theory.
The NSBA calls the critical race theory concerns ‘propaganda’, and says “critical race theory is not taught in public schools and remains a complex law school and graduate school subject well beyond the scope of a K-12 class.”
The letter lists examples of threats and meeting disruptions in several states. One of them happened in Oshkosh on Aug. 25. Police were called and the meeting was postponed after parents and board members began to argue when some of the parents refused to put masks on.
