We didn't expect anything good would come from any attorney general selected by someone with as little integrity as opportunist, globalist Joe Biden, but we didn't really expect to see somebody on par with Herman Goring, who created the Nazi Gestapo, in 1933 Germany, either. Looks like that's about what we've got. Merritt Garland (thank God he never got in the Supreme Court), has been labeling US parents, critical of CRT classes, "domestic terrorists". Based on a not too truthful letter from the National School Board Association, asking for action against protesting parents, the Dept of Justice is now planning to investigate what they call a spike in “threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff,”.

Let's take this step by step.

1. Some really mentally disturbed liberals (far beyond the average) come up with a looney, anti-America, anti-police, anti-white people school curriculum.

2. These loons never talk to anybody except other liberals who are just as far out on the lunatic fringe as they are, thereby reinforcing their pathological notions.

3. Being of an activist nature, these lunatics acquire seats on school boards, so they can push their nutcase ideas on America's students.

4. Coincidentally, the Covid pandemic shuts down in-school classes, and puts classes online, and in students' homes, thereby giving parents the chance to see/hear what their kids are being taught.

5. To no one's surprise, shocked and outraged parents start filling up school board meetings to give the school board members a piece of their minds.

6. The school board members, too steeped in their warped ideology to be deprogrammed by the parents, and too cowardly to confront the parents, instead react by shutting down meetings, walking out before parents all could speak, and having police clear the room of parent protestors.

7. Next the school boards go running to the National School Boards Association for help, who in turn, writes a hugely exaggerated letter to Joe Biden, claiming there to have been attacks and threats against school board members, teachers, facilities, and even public schoolchildren. The letter also falsely claims that CRT is only being taught in graduate schools (while parents all over the country, have seen it in on their middle & High school kids' computers).

Both the OP and Post # 2 are the OP.
 
8. Here is an actual quote from the NSBA letter to Biden >> "NSBA specifically solicits the expertise and resources of the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service, and its National Threat Assessment Center3 regarding the level of risk to public schoolchildren, educators, board members, and facilities/campuses."

9. Noting that the NSBA letter is without a single NAME of anyone alleged to have threatened or attacked anyone, the Attorney General responded by referring to the protesting parents (thousands of them all over the country) as "domestic terrorists" and has come up with a plan to investigate the so-called threats and attacks.

10. Asra Nomani, vice president of investigations and strategy at Parents Defending Education, posted on Twitter, "You are criminalizing parenting, and you owe the people of America a swift apology.”

11. Another parent critic of CRT, Nicole Solas from Rhode Island, accused the FBI of being “the politics police,” while claiming any “legitimate” violence is already “sufficiently addressed by your local police.”

12. Like the NSBA letter, Garland's memo about his plan to investigate, also did not specify what acts of violence against school staff members, ....(I'm still waiting for anyone to show me what acts of violence there have been-and I'm becoming thoughtful that there were very few or none).

13. Sen. Josh Hawley joined with parents on Tuesday in their criticism, accusing Garland of only focusing on “democratic pushback against critical race theory,” rather than threats of violence. Hawley also said “Americans have responded to this radical ideology by winning elections for local school boards, and protesting peacefully at school board meetings. Yet your memo yesterday to the FBI and local U.S. Attorneys ignored all of this, and warned of an insurgence of ‘threats of violence’ and ‘efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.’”

Youre a little late to the party. This has already been broided about for 30 pages or so.

His daughter is married to a guy who makes a living coaching schools on how to teach CRT.

Dang!

Talk about a conflict of interest.

Wonder who ordered the gentleman in the Oval Office to choose him for Attorney General.

1. The "party" is still going on, and will be clear into next week.

2. Did any of the previous posts point out NSBA's deceit ?
 
From what I've read, most of the parents who are attacking teachers and school boards are right-wing Trumpers which puts them in the category of non-critical thinkers who get their learnings from Fox News.
First of all, most right-wing Trumpers have smart TV sets, and have long ago switched from cable TV Fox New$$, to WatchFree Newsmax, the First, OAN, the Blaze, America's Voice, and listen to also free talk-radio.

Secondly, the parents criticizing teachers and school boards have been a cross section of politics, including many black & Hispanic parents who subscribe to the racist and looney "inherent white racism" notion.

Third, if most of the parents criticizing teachers and school boards over CRT were right-wing Trumpers, that is just another indication of the opposition to racism, and other loon ideas of CRT. A GOOD thing.

From what I've heard Garland's son-in law is making MILLIONS, selling his Panorama Education CRT junk to schools. Clear cut conflict of interest.

No wonder the NSBA had no worries about him opposing their request.

 
What is it cons stand for nowadays......

.....“threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff,”.......

......seems to be all they have left in their bag of tricks.
 
The FBI's major priorities are to:
- Protect the United States from terrorist attack
- Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage
- Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes
- Combat public corruption at all levels
- Protect civil rights
- Combat transnational and national criminal organizations and enterprises
- Combat major white-collar crime
- Combat significant violent crime
- Support federal, state, county, municipal, and international partners; and to
- Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI's mission.

So explain where threats of physical violence to the nations public school teachers does not fall within the FBI's purview.

The FBI is US govt. The schools are state and local. What is happening that would fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government’s law enforcement agency? School systems are the jurisdiction of local law enforcement.

The Garland edict is threatening and alarming in its lack of definition, and its attempt to take over in an area that is not in his purview.

As always, federal laws override state and local.
So the FBI is well within their jurisdiction.

FALSE! What school did you attend ? The federal govt has it's jurisdictions. The states have theirs. What is state jurisdiction is none of the federal government's business, and they have zero legal power to override state policy in these matters.

Federal laws ? yeah ? WHAT "federal laws" are you referring to. What about "federal laws" ?

You obviously slept through your civics class in high school.
The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2), establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land", and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.

I doubt if anyone has posted the Supremacy Clause more than me, or my mentor (protectionist), over the past 10 years, but try reading it yourself. Note that it refers to > "the Laws of the United States", it does not refer to state laws. So with regard to federal laws, yes the Supremacy Clause applies, but not to NON-federal laws, nor does the Supremacy clause say that it does. And you still didnt answer the question> WHAT "federal laws" ?

Interesting how liberals love to cite the Supremacy Clause when it services their agenda (as in immigration), but when it runs counter to their lines (as in legality of Islam), they run from it. Ho hum.

PS - got anything to say about Post # 14 ?

the federal government jurisdiction is the entirety of the US.....

Perhaps you should expand your reading list if they are characterizing parents as "right-wing Trumpers"
