In response to a nationwide increase in threats targeting school board members, teachers, and staff, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is calling on the FBI and U.S. attorneys to investigate.

The order comes after the National School Boards Association asked President Joe Biden for federal help. They said assaults, threats and acts of violence are increasing on public school campuses over COVID-19 policies, mask mandates and how classrooms address race and social justice issues.

When Trump had the Feds get involved during the Seattle and Portland uprisings it was called a "Constitutional Outrage" by the media

Get it through your heads, people. This isn’t going to stop. In fact it’s going to get worse. Much, much worse.

See my tag line.

Dear School Boards,

You work for me.
I don’t work for you.

Have a nice day, or quit.

I saw an article about this on FoxNews.com this morning.

Seems like the DOJ is pushing the idea that there has been VIOLENCE against these school board types. I don’t remember hearing anything about violence at the school board meetings, unless they are referring to the “offending” parents being physically removed when they try to talk about CRT or mask mandates, boys using the girls’ bathrooms, etc.

Yep.

This is going to get bad.

Parents should just start using aliases when going to these board meetings.

But we should all keep our eyes on the goal, which is voting out these school boards.

Gestapo.

This is nothing less than the end of our republic if allowed to go forward.

The fight they are provoking will crush them like a bug.

This is the schools trying to manipulate and control your kids and AMERICA!!

Brittany must be so proud her biases have been confirmed.

This is why it is SO important to keep an eye on your local school board:

Opponents of ‘critical race theory’ win Texas school board election

North Carolina School Board Passes Strict Rules Against Teaching Critical Race Theory

Paso Robles school board votes against critical race theory

Colorado Springs School District Votes 3-2 To Oppose Critical Race Theory Principles

I know it is an uphill battle - but this is how busing was defeated in Southern California - voting in anti-busing school board members.

AG Merrick Garland’s Daughter Married to Co-Founder of Education Company Selling Critical Race Theory Resource Material to School Districts

Well, well, well… This is interesting. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently instructed the FBI to begin investigating parents who confront school board administrators over Critical Race Theory indoctrination material. The U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum to the FBI instructing them to initiate investigations of any parent attending a local school board meeting who might be viewed as confrontational, intimidating or harassing.
Attorney General Merrick Garland’s daughter is Rebecca Garland. In 2018 Rebecca Garland married Xan Tanner [LINK]. Mr. Xan Tanner is the current co-founder of a controversial education service company called Panorama Education. [LINK and LINK] Panorama Education is the “social learning” resource material provider to school districts and teachers that teach Critical Race Theory.

Levin had a guy on his radio show last night who absolutely nailed this CRT stuff. What this is about is “threat assessment.” The DOJ/FBI will be spying on anybody who sticks their neck out in opposition to CRT. No knock raids to follow. No doubt.

It was nice of Trump to fully fund a brand new FBI HQ in DC. Dems said he did it so he wouldn’t get new competition from his hotel in DC from a redeveloped old FBI HQ. Who knows what the truth is there.

Note to parents: You have only one means of dealing with this, but it’s a honey: Formally withdraw your kids from publik skrewls. If money is an issue, find other like minded parents, band together, pool your resources and find a better alternative for your kids. They are out there, and I don’t just mean private schools.

[Maris Crane]

WHAT KIND OF THREATS???

Like, I am going to take my child/children out of PUBLIC SCHOOL???

Which would demolish the “powerful” Teachers’ Union, which would be a blessing and the best thing to happen since President Trump’s election.

[CatOwner]

This is going to get bad.

Yep. The left will keep pushing for more, and the right will just shrug and let it happen.

[Rodm]

Flee Public Education, Flee Sodom, save your children

I disagree with this. In most communities, we are the majority, we've just been so inactive that we've been letting the left take everything over. We pay taxes to fund these public schools, so let's take them back!

Now, if you live in a community where sensible people are outnumbered, well then ok, then take your kids out.

This wasn’t a news article from KCRA. This was a PR piece for CRT and school boards. KCRA doesn’t even give passing mention to any First Amendment issues for the parents and students speaking out. Our media yet again are showing themselves to be nothing but left-wing propagandists.
