Nicki Neily, Parents Defending Education
Nicki Neily is the founder and president of Parents Defending Education (PDE), a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas. Nicki is a fiercely determined and courageous defender of freedom.
Nicki believes, “If we care about this issue, we have to do something about it. We have to get off Facebook. We have to get off of Twitter, and go do something.” Parents Defending Education provides resources and links to over 200 local parent groups that address political indoctrination in schools. Parents who have been silent and scared for so long are now entering the arena, and utilizing the tools PDE provides to take action.

In the Oct. 5 email, NSBA Secretary-Treasurer Kristi Swett recounted that NSBA interim CEO Chip Slaven “told the officers he was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cardona.”
Previous emails had revealed that the NSBA was in contact with the White House and Justice Department in the weeks before it publicly sent the letter.
The emails were obtained by the parents group Parents Defending Education in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
“Should this allegation be true, it would reveal that this administration’s pretextual war on parents came from the highest levels,” PDE President Nicole Neily told Fox News Digital.

One thing I’d like to learn more about is how our public school system has changed over the years. I went to public school and had a good experience, but I think a lot has changed in the decades since I was a schoolchild. What happened? I imagine that forces on the Left made taking over public schools a priority… but how did the Right let this happen?

I’ll look into scheduling interviews with people who can address this topic, including our very own Inez Stepman. Thank you for the idea!!
