.USEDGOV disbands parent council critics said was full of 'yes men'
The National Parents and Families Engagement Council will be permanently disbanded barely six months after it was established, after a number of conservative organizations, including several parent groups, sued to stop the council, which they said was full of"yes men" and hadn't been properly established in accordance with federal law.
The lawsuit had been spearheaded by the conservative legal group America First Legal, which touted the demise of the council as"a significant victory for the American people," and it said had been set up as an attempt by the Biden administration to"paper over their open hostility towards parents and families.
At the time of the council's formation, Nicole Neily, the president of the conservative parent activist organization Parents Defending Education, blasted the council for its"astonishing" lack of ideological diversity and accused the Biden administration of"looking for a group of yes men who would rubber-stamp their agenda." Neily's organization was among the groups that signed on to the lawsuit challenging the legality of the council.
