Biden admin keeps giving teachers unions political victories

Candidate Biden was the clear favorite among teachers unions during the 2020 election cycle — and so far into his presidency, teachers unions have scored several political victories.

Republicans have raised concerns that it will be used against the free speech rights of parents, who have been especially vocal about school policies during the COVID-19 pandemic and about critical race theory being taught to children.

Garland’s announcement came just days after the National School Board Association, which represents more than 90,000 school board members, wrote a letter to Biden asking his administration to treat parent protests at school board meetings as possible acts of "domestic terrorism."
