True to form, the "mama bear" mothers and the fathers who have been passionately speaking out at school-board meetings against "woke" curricula and mask mandates have something to say to Attorney General Merrick Garland and the National School Boards Association for effectively branding them as domestic terrorists.
"I am what a domestic terrorist looks like?" asked Asra Nomani, vice president of investigations and strategy for the non-profit Parents Defending Education. "You owe parents an apology!"
Her group, in a statement Monday night, accused activists of "weaponizing the U.S. Department of Justice."
"This is a coordinated attempt to intimidate dissenting voices in the debates surrounding America's underperforming K-12 education – and it will not succeed. We will not be silenced," the statement said.
Nomani's group posted a form on its website to respond to the Justice Department, Fox News reported.
"I urge you to reconsider mobilizing the U.S. Department of Justice against concerned parents who are exercising their First Amendment rights at school board meetings across the country," the letter reads. "Our country’s children deserve a high-quality education. Please do not criminalize the American citizens that advocate on their behalf."
Nomani said in a tweet Tuesday that Garland had issued a "declaration of war" against parents.
Garland wrote in a memo that he directed the FBI to work with each U.S. Attorney's office and federal, state and local leaders to convene meetings addressing "threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff."
Elizabeth Perrin, a parent in Loudon County, Virginia, commented via text.
"So the school board and the [commonwealth attorney] can target people and the people who defend themselves are now domestic terrorists ... how messed up is this!"
Retired Vanderbilt University professor Carol M. Swain, a leading opponent of Critical Race Theory, said the Biden administration seems to think that supporters of the Constitution are "dangerous."
"Do I look like a domestic terrorist to you?" she wrote on Twitter. "Merrick Garland would link #CRT protesters alongside the Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh & Muslim terrorists. Americans who believe in the #Constitution are dangerous."

Bottom-line, a controlling tyrannically, too big of a Governing body, doesn't work for the American Citizen's, and terrorizing their own citizen's is the bigger concern, IMO! Demand for back to limited Government serving populace with laws that once worked must be brought back, IMO!
Change is a coming, the calm before the storm, rounding up stupid takes a moment.
Or they can quit their jobs like all the unvax ppl “if they don’t like it!!”... give them a taste of their own medicine!! Or here’s a brilliant idea! Start actually teaching kids to think for themselves!! Not how to conform!!
