House Republicans Probe NSBA For Colluding With White House On Bogus ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Letter Targeting Parents
October 28, 2021 By Haley Strack
As part of a new investigation into the National School Boards Association, Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee are requiring the NSBA to hand over all documents and communications between the association, the Department of Justice, and the Biden administration by Nov. 10.
“We are investigating the troubling attempts by the Department of Justice and the White House to use the heavy hand of federal law enforcement to target concerned parents at local school board meetings and chill their protected First Amendment activity,” said a letter signed by 19 Republican members of Congress. “Because you are the officers of the NSBA’s board of directors, which exercises ‘supervision, control, and direction of the affairs of the Association,’ we respectfully request your assistance with our investigation.”
The letter comes less than a month after Attorney General Merrick Garland mobilized the FBI to confront what he called a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” Garland has since admitted that his evidence for the spike was the NSBA letter, which begged the federal government to use “domestic terrorism” laws to go after concerned parents.
