The U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is directing the FBI to investigate violent threats against school officials and teachers for backlash to the overtly racist Critical Race Theory being taught in public schools across the nation.
On Monday, the attorney general released a memo: “Justice Department Addresses Violent Threats Against School Officials and Teachers.” It provided details on the DOJ’s operations.
“Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend,” the DOJ said. “These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.”
“Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” wrote Attorney General Garland. “Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety.”
The attorney general did not clarify how teaching that people are inherently victims or victimizers because of the color of their skin is a “proper education in a safe environment.”
“According to the Attorney General’s memorandum, the Justice Department will launch a series of additional efforts in the coming days designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel,” the press release continued. “Those efforts are expected to include the creation of a task force, consisting of representatives from the department’s Criminal Division, National Security Division, Civil Rights Division, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, the Community Relations Service and the Office of Justice Programs, to determine how federal enforcement tools can be used to prosecute these crimes, and ways to assist state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement where threats of violence may not constitute federal crimes.”
“The Justice Department will also create specialized training and guidance for local school boards and school administrators,” it continued. “This training will help school board members and other potential victims understand the type of behavior that constitutes threats, how to report threatening conduct to the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and how to capture and preserve evidence of threatening conduct to aid in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes.”
“Threats of violence against school board members, officials, and workers in our nation’s public schools can be reported by the public to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) via its national tip line (1-800-CALL-FBI) and online through the FBI website (http://fbi.gov/tips),” the DOJ added. “To ensure that threats are communicated to the appropriate authorities, NTOC will direct credible threats to FBI field offices, for coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and law enforcement partners as appropriate. Reporting threats of violence through NTOC will help the federal government identify increased threats in specific jurisdictions as well as coordinated widespread efforts to intimidate educators and education workers.”
The Department of Justice did not address why the radical activist Critical Race Theory agenda might be provoking a backlash among parents who do not want racist agendas taught in public schools.
thank God he is not on the supreme court.
Heavenly Father, Rescue us from this tryranny. We give You all Glory and Honor. In Jesus Name, Amen
DOJ.. come and investigate me.
So I was right...the Marxist thug had it planned
Keep your children safe from CRT predators.
Garland is a man who came straight from Hell. That is how evil he is.
Plenty of black parents protesting critical race theory. Who will the DOJ target?
This is why the Left fought so long and hard to get Merrick Garland in place as either on the Supreme Court or in some pivotal position. Now they have their enabler.
Eric Holder; Part Deux.
“Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values?????
SO ARE INVASIONS!
I like the R. Kelly one...
I just can't wrap my head around there are so many people that will actually go out and do damage to innocent Americans
I think they are opening a second can of worms. As if things weren’t wormier enough.
Some republican senators wanted to approve him because they said he was very moderate and the best we could get out of Obama.
Meanwhile, he's a straight up fascist.
Parents need to be investigating the DOJ.
I’m not shock. We all knew we were a breath away from losing our nation to these communist bastard’s if they would get all three branches of government. We are quickly spiraling out of control into the abyss. I just pray that parents pull their kids out by the multiple thousands. This is a great opportunity for older folk to make extra money by opening a home schooling business in their home. Parents get your children out of the schools! Don’t walk run the hell out of the school districts.

It’s the anti Critical Race Theory movement . It is going to restore sanity to teaching about history and race. Run by parents who won’t put up with CRT, blame America, communist promoters.
Merrick Garland. Weird name for a weird guy.
