Butcher & Gonzalez: Biden's Justice Department clueless that censoring parents is sure to end badly
Fox News
Over the last year, parents have been attending school board meetings in large numbers to object to prolonged closures, as well as educators’ use of Critical Race Theory to promote racial prejudice.
The move to suppress First Amendment rights came from the National School Boards Association (NSBA), which organizes school board members. It wants the Biden administration to use "extraordinary measures" initially created to deal with foreign threats to now intimidate parents and "preserve public school infrastructure," according to the group’s recent letter to the White House.
The group wants the Biden administration to invoke the PATRIOT Act and create a posse that includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service, and National Threat Assessment Center to protect them against parents—the very people school boards are responsible for representing in their local communities.
