Here are the top stories today in Anchorage:

1. Anchorage School District Board member Dave Donley is calling for the Anchorage board to condemn the actions of the National School Board Association after they implied that activist parents are domestic terrorists and that they need protection from the federal government against protesting parents. In a resolution to be introduced Tuesday night at the regularly scheduled board meeting, the lone conservative on the board says enough is enough. However, it is not likely Donely's resolution will passed by the hard-left Anchorage School Board. (Must Read Alaska)
