The Missouri School Board Association on Oct. 26 severed ties with its national counterparts as part of an ongoing fallout over a letter sent to the White House that equated parents to domestic terrorists.

The Ohio school board association quit the National School Board Association (NSBA) over the same letter on the same day. NSBA did not respond to a request for comment about the two withdrawals.
