Attorney General Merrick Garland basically admitted Thursday that the White House contacted the Justice Department about that odious letter from the National School Boards Association begging the feds to use the Patriot Act against “domestic terrorist” parents who raise questions about critical race theory being pushed in their kids’ schools.
This is outrageous, even though Garland fudged on whether it was at the White House’s behest that he issued his remarkable public guidance. He told federal prosecutors and the FBI to actively investigate threats or violence against school officials and/or boards, a dramatic display of intimidation.
There’s every reason to think it was the White House’s idea: Garland acted just days after the president’s office got the letter, which the NSBA’s top two leaders actually sent at the request of President Joe Biden’s aides after prior discussions on the issue.
After all, this is the same White House that ordered the Centers for Disease Control to let teachers-union boss Randi Weingarten dictate parts of their guidance on school masking. And that has embraced mandatory CRT training all across the federal government, including in the military.
Nor does the attorney general normally make a high-profile public announcement that he’s ordering his minions to get on top of a purely imaginary danger.

“Dissent is patriotic.” - Nancy Pelosi, 2001 or so.
Let’s go Brandon!!!!!!!!
Didn’t Donald Trump get into enormous trouble for trying to exert any influence whatsoever on the DOJ?
As the Soviet Union of old, our world is a maze of contrived narratives and political theater. It didn’t happen overnight.
GOVERNMENT GASLIGHTING
The NSBA LETTER was the White House’s idea:
<><> Garland acted just days after the president’s office got the letter;
<><> NSBA’s top two leaders actually sent the letter
<><> at the request of Biden’s aides
<><> after prior discussions on the issue.
I read that the NSBA has apologized for their letter and have rescinded it. Doubt the DOJ will pursue it further. I knew it was bluster from the AG and would not stand.

The Loudoun County Public Schools superintendent sent an email on May 28 alerting school board members that a sexual assault had been reported. The email came on the same day as the alleged sexual assault that captured the attention of national media earlier this month.
“The purpose of this email is to provide you with information regarding an incident that occurred at Stone Bridge HS,” Superintendent Scott Ziegler said in the email. “This afternoon a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom.”

Don’t these parents have a right to free speech as guaranteed in the First Amendment?
Well the Democrap domestic enemy occupiers don’t believe in the Constitution and Republicans do nothing about it
That would be Let’s Go Brandon who gave the orders to use the federal police to destroy his political enemies.
As long as so called trannies are allowed to use ladies rooms rapes are going to happen. These ignorant changes allowing perverts excuses to committ crimes plus trashing our nation’s history based on slave ownership and/or military posts named after confederate gens is BS. Andrew Jackson made his home where I live in Hermitage,TN.
The White House is reacting to this issue in the same hysterical way Red China does when someone openly opposes their dictates. The idea being to crush the opposition like a bug. All semblance of empathy be damned!
“I read that the NSBA has apologized for their letter and have rescinded it. Doubt the DOJ will pursue it further. I knew it was bluster from the AG and would not stand.”
While I know that DOJ doesn’t normally comment on what they work on, they did make it clear they intended to investigate parents under anti-terrorist laws. So, until they announce that they’re retracting that plan, one can only assume they’re still intending to push forward.
I thought the FBI and DOJ didn’t take direction from the whitehouse.
I guess I was misinformed.
I don’t have the citation, but i read somewhere that the NSBA has withdrawn the letter and apologized for some of the language and characterizations of parents in it.
You could be right. Maybe Garland will pursue it behind scenes.
Currently, ALL dissent is Criminal.
Get used to being a Perp.
