Remember back in 2021 when we told you that the Biden White House and the teachers’ unions were conspiring against parents? We now have proof.
 
America First Legal has obtained the evidence through Freedom of Information Act requests. Just like Obama’s “manufactured intelligence,” the Biden administration “manufactured” its reasoning to intimidate parents and silence dissent.
 
Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered the FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings after receiving a letter from the National School Board Association (NSBA). But career Justice Department attorneys were shocked by the order.

Here’s what one Justice Department lawyer wrote about Garland’s jihad to silence parents:
 
“I read the letter from NSBA … the vast, vast majority of the behavior cited cannot be reached by federal law… Almost all the language used is protected by the First Amendment; the main issue seems to be the disruption and obstruction of school board meetings, which can be reached by local trespassing laws or disturbance of the peace laws, but nothing remotely federal.”
 
It’s deeply disturbing how eager leftist forces were to deprive parents of their free speech rights when the issues involved LGBTQ indoctrination and Marxist critical race theory in our public schools.
 
When President Trump tries to do something about foreign students screaming antisemitic hate on our university campuses, the left-wing establishment accuses him of “assaulting the freedom of speech.” But those same leftist forces were all in on stopping parents from exercising their freedom of speech at school board meetings.
