Garland Directs FBI To Target Parents For ‘Harassment, Intimidation’
Daily Caller ^ | 5 October 2021 | Kendall Tietz

Posted on 10/05/2021 3:35:06 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

Attorney General Merrick Garland called on the FBI to “use its authority” against parents who threaten or use violence against public school officials in a Monday memorandum.

Garland said there has been a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” He said he is directing the FBI to work with each U.S. attorney and leaders “in each federal judicial district” to discuss strategy to address threats within 30 days of his statement.

The Department of Justice’s memorandum did not specify what it classifies as a crime and did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for clarification on the matter.

Local law enforcement? Uppity parents? The FBI will handle that. Because they can.

It certainly isn’t a federal issue. If people are threatening violence against teachers or school board members it’s a local issue & should be dealt with there.

The democrats are making the assumption that these parents are exclusively right wing people. Having watched a few of the school board dust ups, I think that while the majority of the concerned parents may lean republican, many are independents and some are democrats.

This isn’t just about the CRT. Parents are reading aloud from texts and lesson plans. The overt (and sometimes sick) sexuality being pushed on very young student is disgusting. The far left doesn’t want the parents or community knowing just what kind of crap they are teaching.

Weaponized intelligence agencies attacking parents.

Meanwhile the real enemies are given aid and assistance by resident Biden.

You are fooling yourself if you think the Democrats care. This is using the power of the federal police state to quell dissent over policy.

The leadership no longer cares if you are a lifetime Democrat voter or minority. If you dissent with the policies of the party, you are an enemy of the state.

This is the same with the vaccine mandate. It is not about left or right...it is about compliance with whatever the Politburo dictates to the people.

No, this will not generate a groundswell of opposition because tomorrow they will keep us divided over race or gender or something else to ensure we do not coalesce against them.

If you can’t stand your ground to Merrick Garland & the Soy Boyz from the FIB, stick a cork in your mouth and sit in the corner.

You are right. I just have hope that enough people will recognize what is happening. Perhaps if they only have 15 months or so of holding all the power, it will still be fixable. I am an optimist.

I am usually an optimist as well, but have not found much to be optimistic about since the election.

I see the storm clouds gathering over the global economy....the supply chain is broken, food shortages, financial collapses, energy shortages and runaway inflation are all going to hit at the same time, giving the globalists the opportunity to enact "The Great Reset"....which is game, set and match for liberty.

There’s nothing to fix. We will take back our country and make it great and good again and those who betrayed the people’s natural rights will see the inside of prison cells.

Meanwhile not a word about the marxist attacks on Senator Sienna, where she is actually being physically intimidated.

This guy is TOTALLY NUTS!

BUT WHAT IT WILL DO IS...GUARANTEE THAT THE DIMWITS WILL LOSE AND LOSE BIG.

He has chosen...with CLEAR direction from Biden/AOC/Sanders/Psaki...to PERSECUTE TRADITIONAL FAMILIES...FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE...FAMILIES...AMERICAN FAMILIES.

Joe and his Crazy Cult have got to go.

Thanks to Mitch for stopping this NUT from being on the Supreme Court.

Threats against local school board members is obviously NOT a matter for a federal agency - unless some "anonymous" letter-writer mails a threat (possibly: across state lines?).

THEN it becomes a federal matter.

Unfortunately, all it takes is one such "anonymous" threat letter by a provocateur.

Regards,

and if you look at video evidence, the preponderance of these cases result in a cop at the meeting arresting or at least ejecting the parent who is trying to voice their opinion. There have been a few cases where the person was allowed to make their point and it was captured and shared on the ‘net but most result in other than desirable results. (Remember DON’T TASE ME BRO! Wasn’t that a school board meeting? Or was it a city council meeting? same idea- not allowed to confront the leadership)

“Garland Directs FBI To Target Parents For ‘Harassment, Intimidation’”

But not leftist intimidation and harassment of Senators going to the bathroom.

The fascist DoJ alerts its SS, which wants nothing better than the OK to bash some mother’s noggin.

who threaten or use violence


If that is taking place, then that should be dealt with. Most of the fits are not over that, but over demands to be heard when the school boards don’t want to hear the parents concerns.
