In the exchange, Swett claims then-NSBA interim executive director Chip Slaven said \u201che was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cordona [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecretary Cardona needs to explain himself to the American people. Parents aren\u2019t the enemy, and it would be inexcusable if he solicited that kind of rhetoric from the National School Board Association,\u201d Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sasse.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/2022\/1\/sasse-secretary-cardona-must-answer-for-politicizing-parents-concerns\">statement<\/a> Tuesday. \u201cThe baseless, dishonest allegations of terrorism in the NSBA letter are vile because they\u2019re designed to silence important discussions about education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCabinet officials shouldn\u2019t be joining wild-eyed radicals\u2019 attempts to squash debate. Irresponsible accusations about \u2018domestic terrorism\u2019 are political hackery, not public service. The Biden administration needs to take a big step back from fanaticism and end the needless politicization of every aspect of our lives,\u201d Sasse continued.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Education Department denied that Cardona solicited the NSBA letter in a statement to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/education-secretary-cardona-solicited-nsba-letter-comparing-parents-domestic-terrorists-email\">Fox News<\/a>, saying, \u201cWhile the Secretary did not solicit a letter from NSBA, to understand the views and concerns of stakeholders, the Department routinely engages with students, teachers, parents, district leaders and education associations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans piled on Cardona following the release of the NSBA board members\u2019 email exchange, arguing that the email exchange warrants further investigation into the origins of the NSBA letter which the Justice Department later used to justify a memo directing the FBI to crack down on school board meetings. School board meetings erupted last summer with parents upset over the inclusion of subjects such as Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology in their children\u2019s school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSec. Cardona must testify before Congress about the letter he solicited that labeled parents as \u2018domestic terrorists.\u2019 Dems use their majority to cover up for the Biden admin, but Republicans will use every tool at our disposal to hold them accountable.\u201d House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1480968119204163588\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomCottonAR\/status\/1480988221303672832\">tweeted<\/a>: \u201cAre you a parent frustrated by school closures and toxic critical race theory being pushed on your kids? The Biden administration thinks you\u2019re a domestic terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GOP whip Rep. Steve Scalise (LA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveScalise\/status\/1481007988794183680\">added<\/a>: \u201cBiden\u2019s Education Secretary solicited the letter from the National School Boards Association comparing parents to terrorists that the DOJ then used to target parents. We need Congressional hearings NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HawleyMO\/status\/1480962070300577792\">said<\/a>: \u201cThe truth emerges \u2013 the Biden Administration ASKED FOR the infamous letter calling parents domestic terrorists, and then used it to gin up their war on parents with the FBI.
