In the latest outrageous move by Democrats, the Biden Justice Department is planning to target parents who speak out at school board meetings as potential terrorists.
It’s a direct insult to the parents who pay the taxes that fund the schools.
Senator Josh Hawley blasted a DOJ official over this during a hearing this week.
Townhall reported:
Josh Hawley Torches Biden DOJ for Assault on American Parents
During a hearing on Tuesday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) lit up the Biden administration’s latest attempt to tamp down political opposition via an announced plan to go after parents who oppose Democrats’ radical curricula and mandates related to the Wuhan coronavirus.
As Townhall covered earlier on Tuesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a memo to the FBI and United States attorneys calling on coordination between federal, state, and local law enforcement to stop alleged harassment and intimidation of education officials who seek to institutionalize critical race theory and prohibit parents from making healthcare decisions for their children.
While Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco testified before the Senate, Hawley pressed her on the motivation behind and eventual implementation of the Justice Department’s new offensive against parents.
Calling Garland’s memo “extraordinary,” Hawley pointed out “practically every day brings new reports about this administration weaponizing the federal bureaucracy to go after political opponents, frankly I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like it in American history. For those of us who miss the McCarthy era, I guess this president is intent on bringing it to us but with new force and new power and new urgency unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”

.@HawleyMO: If this [Garland memo] isn't a deliberate attempt to chill parents from showing up at school board meetings… I don't know what is.

.@HawleyMO to Biden DOJ: You are attempting to intimidate [parents], you are attempting to silence them, you are attempting to interfere with their rights as parents, and yes, with their rights as voters.

How much more of this ridiculous overreach by Biden are people supposed to put up with?
