While it may be to our shock, but certainly not our surprise, this week it was reported that U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona directly solicited the decision for the National School Boards Association’s letter to President Joe Biden likening American Parents to domestic terrorists. This letter called on the nation’s highest official to activate a number of federal agencies and offices including the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the United States Postal Service and others to investigate parents. “Here is another example of the stark difference between the image that Connecticut and National Democrats want to project and who
