AG Garland has told the FBI and US Attorneys’ Offices to meet and “strategize” on ways to deal with parents who have the nerve to protest critical race theory.
The DOJ said: “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. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.”

So much fer that ole first amendment thingy. Don’t even try to redress your grievances or we’ll sick the FIBs on your ass.
Somebody sent a strongly worded letter to the TLAs calling parents who are trying to interfere with indoctrination,”Terrorists”.
interesting priorities. too much democracy going on here. the man is evil.
Dodged a bullet there.
The FBI isn’t the problem - its the DOJ.
Its America’s NKVD, Gestapo and Holy Office of the Inquisition all rolled into one. The FBI are merely its police arm.
Many parents will back off. To the ones who are strong, organize locally, organize covertly, go under ground, destroy these people. Remember, its your children, their future and their, not theirs.

There’s something called the “Association of School Boards” (or something similar) that requested Biden to have the protesting parents and groups labeled as “domestic terrorists” and subject to anti-terrorism laws.

An official letter like that would amount to slander. Lawsuit time.
Reinhard Heydrich would be so Proud to see this moment here in the USA...
Garland doesn’t believe in the 1st Amendment????
Harassing a sitting senator by illegals is OK

The drumbeat of communist tyranny gets louder and louder...
Our ruling communists feel like they are fighting blind drunks due to the absolute lack of any “real” response from the occupants (legal & illegal) of the U.S.
No where in history has slavery been imposed so easily as has in the U.S. over the past 60 years...
The final nail was driven into the coffin when the communists got away with the theft of a Presidential election... It’s dead, Jim...
What a disgrace to the memory of the millions of those past American patriots who sustained injury or death in defense of our former Constitutional freedoms...
The association described the protests as a “form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
Parents exercised their first amendment right to free speech, peaceable assembly, and protesting the government for a redress of grievances.
To the school board, this is domestic terrorism, and the Constitution is their manifesto.
The Supreme Court ruled in New York Times v Sullivan (1964)
23.
- The general proposition that freedom of expression upon public questions is secured by the First Amendment has long been settled by our decisions. The constitutional safeguard, we have said,
- 'was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people...
- The maintenance of the opportunity for free political discussion to the end that government may be responsive to the will of the people and that changes may be obtained by lawful means, an opportunity essential to the security of the Republic, is a fundamental principle of our constitutional system...
- (I)t is a prized American privilege to speak one's mind, although not always with perfect good taste, on all public institutions...'
- and this opportunity is to be afforded for 'vigorous advocacy' no less than 'abstract discussion.'
- The First Amendment, said Judge Learned Hand, 'presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues, than through any kind of authoritative selection.
- To many this is, and always will be, folly; but we have staked upon it our all.' Mr. Justice Brandeis, in his concurring opinion in Whitney v. California, gave the principle its classic formulation:
24.
- 'Those who won our independence believed...
- that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government. They recognized the risks to which all human institutions are subject.
- But they knew that order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination;
- that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government;
- that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones.
- Believing in the power of reason as applied through public discussion, they eschewed silence coerced by law—the argument of force in its worst form. Recognizing the occasional tyrannies of governing majorities, they amended the Constitution so that free speech and assembly should be guaranteed.'
25.
Thus we consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.
It's a shame how the institutions of public discourse have turned away from holding government accountable and towards silencing the critics of government.
