A new war in America appears to be brewing and it’s not Democrat vs. Republic, it’s families against their overreaching, intrusive, and politically motivated local school boards. There are no color boundaries in this war, there are few political boundaries, but this week, the Biden Administration mobilized the full effort of the United States Justice Department to begin cracking down on a newly defined group of terrorists, soccer moms, baseball dads, and local citizens concerned about the direction of the public education system and the longterm effects it has on their community.
New York Post writer Miranda Devine today declared that AG Merrick Garland is now officially at war with parents and she’s not exaggerating.
The left might have bitten off more than it can chew this time.
For decades, school boards across America decried parents and their apathy towards being involved in their local school board governance. Parents rarely attend school board meetings unless something they believe in is put in harm’s way. School board members routinely criticized parents for their lack of involvement and said more parents should be involved in the process, more parents should come out to school board meetings.
That is, until 2021 when parents started showing up at school board meetings to oppose their out-of-control local officials’ injection of critical race theory, gender studies, sexuality studies, and medical opinions into their school district class curriculum.
This year, in New Jersey, students in 8th grade will be taugh. Last week, the NJEA was caught in a plot to log interactions between teachers, students, and parents’ private discussions about vaccinations and vaccine mandates.
It all culminated with a shot being fired over the heads of parents by the National School Board Association demanding that the Department of Justice treat parents who show up at school board meetings as domestic terrorists.
“America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat,” the NSBA wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden. “NSBA believes immediate assistance is required to protect our students, school board members, and educators who are susceptible to acts of violence affecting interstate commerce because of threats to their districts, families, and personal safety.”
“As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes,” the NSBA demanded of the President.
And the President complied, forwarding that letter to the Department of Justice which immediately took action, despite other more imminent threats to America loomed.
Now, parents demonstrating and protesting at school board meetings across America are going to be investigated by the FBI after the letter to Biden was forwarded to the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response by law enforcement,” the DOJ said in a statement.
Now, according to Merrick Garland, the Justice Department will launch a series of additional efforts in the coming days designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel. Those efforts are expected to include the creation of a task force, consisting of representatives from the department’s Criminal Division, National Security Division, Civil Rights Division, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, the Community Relations Service, and the Office of Justice Programs, to determine how federal enforcement tools can be used to prosecute these crimes and ways to assist state, tribal, territorial and local law enforcement where threats of violence may not constitute federal crimes.
After receiving the response it wanted from the federal government, the NSBA spiked the football on the Biden Administration’s own rendition of Operation Warp Speed. There were no investigations. There was no study, just a rubber stamp of approval by the DOJ on a memo from the NSBA.
“The U.S. Department of Justice’s swift action in response to NSBA’s request is a strong message to individuals with violent intent who are focused on causing chaos, disrupting our public schools, and driving wedges between school boards and the parents, students, and communities they serve,” the NSBA celebrated. “We need to get back to the work of meeting all students’ needs and making sure that each student is prepared for a successful future. That’s what school board members and parents care about.”
The battle lines have been drawn. This is not about the small number of cases where things got out of hand, this has become a battle to silence the American people who are opposing overreaching local, state, and federal mandates aimed at redefining and revolutionizing the American public school system.
The entire Democrat agenda to infiltrate the American public school system might now be at risk as Biden and the DOJ have woke the sleeping giant.
“We have heard American moms at school board meetings eloquently reject the perversions being forced on their children under the banner of “equity” and “tolerance.” They reject hateful racism disguised as “anti-racism” that divides their children into oppressors and victims,” the New York Post reported.
“Nobody gets between a mama bear and her cub,” says Asra Nomani, a mom and the vice president of investigations and strategy at Parents Defending Education. “We are not intimidated or afraid … You are criminalizing parenting, and you owe the people of America a swift apology.”
