Republicans are losing their minds because the Justice Department is trying to help localities combat the rash of violent threats against school officials
from the National School Boards Association for the Biden administration do something about the increase in “physical threats” school officials are receiving in response to mask mandates and, as the NSBA put it in the memo, “propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory within classroom instruction and curricula.” The NSBA last week apologized for some of the language it used in its letter, but Garland on Wednesday stood by his Oct.
“The letter that was subsequently sent does not change the association’s concern about violence with threats of violence,” Garland said. “It alters some of the language in the letter language in the letter that we did not rely on and is not contained in my own memorandum. The only thing that Justice Department is concerned about violence and threats of violence.”
Republicans were very mad, and essentially spent the morning defending the rights of parents to violently threaten school officials. Sen. expressed concern that the “threat of federal prosecution” would have a “chilling” effect on parents who want to be involved in their children’s education. “I don’t believe it’s reasonable to read this memorandum as chilling anyone’s rights,” Garland replied. “It’s about threats of violence, and it expressly recognizes the Constitutional right to make arguments about children’s education.”
AG Merrick Garland explains to Sen. John Cornyn why prosecuting “threats of violence” at school board meetings isn’t “chilling” parents’ free speech.
