The Patriot Act was supposed to be used to thwart terrorism, Christie continued, not against parents "who are rightfully going and raising concerns to school boards" about their children's education. He faulted the National School Boards Association and the National Teachers Union and called for Garland to "show some integrity and knock it off because his reputation is dropping fast."
