Biden ignores harassment and intimidation when woke schools aren't involved
Categories: US Education News
This past September, the National School Board Association (NSBA) sent a letter to President Joe Biden claiming that "America’s public schools and its educational leaders are under an immediate threat" from angry parents speaking at school board meetings against mask policies, school closures, and woke critical race theory and gender ideology in K-12 education.To deal with these dastardly parents, the NSBA requested that the Biden Administration utilize "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 the National Threat Assessment Center" and that the administration consider enforcing "the Patriot Act in regards to domestic terrorism" against moms and dads that were making too much damned noise. A mere three business days passed before Attorney General Merrick Garland jumped at the NSBA’s demands and issued a memo to the FBI and US Attorneys claiming "a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff" and asking that the DOJ use its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate." Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer said at a 2020 rally about the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."Without such a law, we risk as a nation a kind of mob justice where organized radicals can use fear, harassment, and intimidation to influence legal decisions. In fact, it was just two years ago that a man disguised as a delivery man gained access into the home of a federal judge and murdered her son. Judges have a right to fear for their safety at home, and the behavior we are witnessing is mafia-like and the kind of thing one would expect in a third-world country.
