Secretary Cardona Flat-Out Lies About Requesting The NSBA Letter That Called Concerned Parents “Domestic Terrorists”

President Biden’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, LIED to the American people when he denied requesting a letter from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) that compared concerned parents to "domestic terrorists" in September during an interview with “CBS Mornings,” on Wednesday.

We didn't ask for that letter. We didn't…No. Specifically with that letter, we had no -- we didn't request that, there was no involvement in that,” Cardona told “CBS Mornings.” This is a flat-out LIE. On Tuesday, Fox News reported Secretary Cardona in fact “solicited the much-criticized letter from the NSBA that compared protesting parents to domestic terrorists, according to an email exchange reviewed by Fox News." Previous emails already revealed that the NSBA coordinated with Biden's White House and the Department of Justice for weeks about their letter's content before publicly sending it. Yesterday’s report and Secretary Cardon’s bold lie this morning is why he must immediately testify before Congress about the letter he solicited that labeled parents as "domestic terrorists." THE DEMOCRATS ATTACK ON CONCERNED PARENTS FAILED:
  • Concerned parents are NOT domestic terrorists.
  • Education is a winning issue for Republicans.
    • Republicans are working to protect parental rights and expand school choice, not empower the Federal Government.
  • Instead of advocating for school choice and parental rights, the Biden Administration wants to take complete control of our children’s education.
  • Parents are right to be concerned about their kids being taught radical ideologies or exposed to inappropriate instructional materials – parents should be engaged.
  • The Democrats’ Far-Left reconciliation bill would take away the rights of parents and give authority to Democrats in Washington.
    • It would give the Biden administration complete control to approve the early childhood education standards and limits parents’ choice in their children’s education.
    • The Democrats’ child care proposal would SPIKE prices for middle-class families by $13,000.
    • This legislation is a ploy by Democrats to indoctrinate America’s youth with their Far-Left Socialist ideas from the start of their educational process until its conclusion.

IT’S SIMPLE: Parents ARE the primary stakeholders in their child's education, not the radical Democrats, federal government, or failed teachers unions. Secretary Cardona’s lie this morning shows the Biden Administration is not prepared to answer to concerned parents on why the Biden Administration thinks they are "domestic terrorists."
