Biden DOJ sought federal ‘hook’ to go after parents as ‘domestic terrorists’

This story shows that the government cannot be trusted. Given all we know now, it is hard to understand why anyone would send kids to government schools.
The Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden actively sought a “federal hook” to justify sending federal law enforcement after parents whom it labeled “domestic terrorists” because they spoke out at school board meetings, recently uncovered memos show.
We all knew this was a serious problem at the time, and now we have the proof. Even worse, school boards themselves cooperated with this lawlessness, as well as local law enforcement.
“Documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) show that prior to the infamous Oct. 4, 2021, ‘domestic terrorist’ memo from former Attorney General Merrick Garland, staff were looking for any possible way to go after parents concerned with coronavirus mandates, critical race theory, and ‘transgender’ policies,” The Federalist reported.
The legal group received access to the documents via a Freedom of Information Act request. The latest released trove, the 10th since the group did the filing, shows that there was no authority or legal basis for prosecuting parents for speaking out at school board meetings.
After all, the parents were just exercising their freedom of speech under the First Amendment, but that didn’t stop the DOJ from going forward.
It’s clear that Biden officials colluded with the leftist National School Boards Association (NSBA) to issue a letter in September 2021 calling for a federal probe, which Attorney General Merrick Garland unleashed shortly thereafter.
The letter, available here, has been taken down from the NSBA website; it asked President Biden to intervene with federal law enforcement over possible “domestic terrorism and hate crimes” perpetrated by parents.
America First Legal said the latest exposé of emails allowed it to “complete the timeline” of how the NSBA, the Biden DOJ, and White House staff plotted the attack on parents.
The emails show a “conspiracy that was ultimately aimed at depriving parents of two fundamental rights — the right to speak, and the right to direct the upbringing of their children,” said America First Legal President Gene Hamilton.
Parents need to take note, trust their instincts, and stand up for their rights and for their children. This story shows that the government cannot be trusted. Given all we know now, it is hard to understand why anyone would send kids to government schools.
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is a nonprofit, nationwide coalition that is fighting to return education to its proper local roots and restore parental authority over their children’s education by helping parents and local communities to escape federal and other national influences. It is the vision of USPIE to create a culture where parents, empowered with the authority to choose what and how their children learn, are the undisputed primary educators of their children, where local schools operate in support of families, and where education is unencumbered by federal mandates.
USPIE’s powerful documentary, “Truth & Lies in American Education,” addresses some of the most glaring issues in the American education system and equips parents to make a change in their local school district for the betterment of their children. The film follows Few’s daughter-in-law, April, as she seeks to learn more about the system she was planning on exposing to her own children and learns the shocking truth. “Truth & Lies in American Education” is available for streaming on SalemNOW, as well available on DVD.
USPIE’s “Unmasking Government Schools with Sheri Few” is a weekly podcast that exposes the dangers of education shaped by government bureaucrats and social engineers, while exploring practical ways to protect children and preserve America’s freedom.
