HELENA- Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen sent a letter today to the Montana School Boards Association in support of parents' freedom of speech and their right to be heard by those elected to represent them. In her letter, she asked the MSBA to denounce its association with the National School Boards Association, which has referred to some parents as "domestic terrorists."
The Superintendent's letter follows a memo sent by Acting United States Attorney Leif Johnson yesterday to Montana's Attorney General, County Attorneys, Sheriffs, the Office of Public Instruction, and the Montana School Boards Association. A link to the memo is embedded within the Superintendent's letter to MSBA.
