Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, on Wednesday grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland during a hearing about what has been known as the administration's "domestic terrorist" parents memorandum, which brought intense pushback from parents around the country.
Roy pressed Garland on the memo directing the FBI to use counterterrorism tools relating to parents speaking out at school board meetings against K-12 curriculum and agendas with which they disagreed, such as critical race theory and gender ideology-related policies in schools. After Roy repeatedly asked Garland whether the memo was rescinded, the attorney general finally acknowledged that it wasn't.
"There's nothing to rescind," Garland said. "The memo was intended to have meetings within 30 days… The 30 days have finished. Nothing has happened in more than a year and a half with respect to that."
The memorandum was initiated after the National School Boards Association (NSBA) sent a letter to President Biden in September 2021 asking for parents protesting at school board meetings to be federally looked into, claiming school officials were facing threats and violence at meetings. Most significantly, the NSBA requested in its original letter that parents' actions should be examined under the PATRIOT Act as "domestic terrorists." The PATRIOT Act was signed into law in 2001 by President George Bush after the Sept. 11 terror attacks to combat terrorism and expand the boundaries of surveillance.

The Gestapo is still targeting school parents
What a surprise
What is ironic is that Garland and the communist left are the real terrorists.
“””There’s nothing to rescind,” Garland said. “The memo was intended to have meetings within 30 days… The 30 days have finished. Nothing has happened in more than a year and a half with respect to that.”””
.
So it is still there.
And there is nothing in writing that says it has expired.
The progs will pull it out of their azz and use it down the road when it is convenient for them.
.
Garland’s Gestapo!! PURE EVIL!
The fault rests at the feet of congress.
Get rid of the Patriot Act.
More commie filth crap... Is the DOJ really that supid or gullible? Oh and the commies at SPLC are behind part of this..just like they aided flipping some in the FBI decades ago.
Absolutly
I pray they televise his military tribunal and subsequent execution.
The National School Boards Association (NSBA) requested in its original letter that parents’ actions
at school boards should be examined under the Bush-era PATRIOT Act as “domestic terrorists.”
The National School Boards Association (NSBA) demanded that parents’ actions at school board meetings be examined under the Bush-era PATRIOT Act as “domestic terrorists.”
The PATRIOT Act was signed into law in 2001 by President George Bush after the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed some 4000 Americans, and was intended to combat global terrorism and expand the boundaries of surveillance.
Apparently, NSBA has now apologized for typifying parents as “domestic terrorists.”
I believe when they were outed as the thugs they are they pretended it was all a mistake. It wasn't. They meant it at the time.
There were a lot of supporters of that monstrosity on this site at the time. I was called many names because of my opposition to it.
Few people ever thought our government would turn against its own citizens like they have.
Then they were not students of history. Government has always been the greatest threat to liberty.
Didn’t he essentially claim that it never existed?
