Attorney General Merrick Garland mobilizes FBI against threats against school board members

As Twitchy reported last week, the National School Boards Association asked the Biden administration to look into angry parents as possible “domestic terrorism and hate crimes” threats. The Post Millennial reported:

Education Week reports that the National School Boards Association sent a letter to Biden suggesting that the Patriot Act be enforced against these unruly parents who keep showing up to meetings across the country demanding answers and accountability from the very school boards that control their children’s education.

“America’s public schools and its education leaders are under immediate threat,” the letter begins. As such, it goes on, the National School Boards Association “respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats and violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation.”

Within days, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo to the FBI director “to address threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”

BREAKING: Attorney General Merrick Garland has instructed the FBI to mobilize against parents who oppose critical race theory in public schools, citing “threats.”

The memo directs the FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement “to facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response.”

The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.

They want to reclassify dissent as “disinformation” and “domestic terrorism,” justifying an unprecedented intervention, both directly and in partnership with tech companies.

The Left is declaring war against conservative and independent thought. People need to wake up and vote these people out.

Instead of protecting the rights of parents our ‘justice’ department works to diminish their rights. Banana Republic.

The left can burn and loot all they want but who gets targeted every single time.

The DOJ/FBI letter speaks about “violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.”

The latter part can easily define what is being done to @SenatorSinema yet FBI Wray unleashed two dozen agents on a fake noose quicker than onto this issue. https://t.co/4f865uwDmp

Do not take this lying down. Let’s make this something they’ll forever regret. Any parent on either side of the aisle who demands to know about their child’s education is far from a terrorist

I welcome this new classification, and cannot wait to be branded as such by my employer.

Trump never weaponized the bureaucracy to go after his political opponents. Democrats play to win.

I doubt he decided to do this on his own. I’m betting WH requested it.

Wow. So parents standing up for their kids is harassment and terrorists. But female senators being followed into bathrooms is “part of the process”.

How many examples do we suppose are a part of this “spike”?

Quite the deflection from Sinema. I haven’t seen school board violence. Anyone else?

This is incredible. Incomprehensible. Absolutely insane.

And now it’s official. The government has shown exactly what the future holds for those who don’t roll over for their NWO power grab. Yelling and cursing are not threats nor violence. But any pushback, even from parents concerned about their children, is verboten.

Good Lord, parents voicing concerns regarding school curriculum is now terrorism?

This is tyranny!

When we mounted the attack against critical race theory, we hit the regime at its ideological nerve center. Now the regime is trying to reassert control.

Hold the line.

— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) October 4, 2021

So the regime agreed to help?

Imagine what the next request for help will be.

We don’t have any problem with local law enforcement investigating threats against school board members; however, we do have questions regarding what school boards and the National School Boards Association consider “threats.” Parents showing up at school board meetings and claiming their two minutes’ time?
