Schools Association Asks Biden For Protection Against Violent Anti-Maskers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Though the purported teaching of "critical race theory" in public schools has become a hot-button issue among Republicans, leading some states to pass laws against its teaching, the school board association slammed the opposition to it as "propaganda," noting 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."
48% : In addition to the threats of violence school officials are now facing, two school districts in Florida have had state funding withheld that's equivalent to its school board members' salaries because the districts imposed mask mandates, and the state is moving forward with potential punishments against an additional nine districts.
43% : An organization representing public school boards across the country asked President Joe Biden Wednesday for federal help -- including law enforcement protection from the FBI -- to combat the "immediate threat" to their schools from violent threats from people that oppose mask mandates and the purported teaching of "critical race theory."
