Biden team coordinated on school memo calling parents 'domestic terrorists,' despite denial
Story by Ashley Oliver • 17h
FIRST ON FOX: A conservative legal group revealed a tranche of correspondence on Friday from the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) shedding new light on the behind-the-scenes discussions about a controversial directive former Attorney General Merrick Garland gave about school boards.
The document dump included an email from a deputy attorney general aide that said the DOJ was searching for a "federal hook" to use to address a letter the National School Boards Association (NSBA) wrote to the White House raising alarm about parents who were, at the time, expressing outrage at school board meetings across the country over COVID-19 mandates, critical race theory, and transgender policies.
"We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But WH has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion," deputy attorney general aide Kevin Chambers wrote to a colleague on Oct. 1, 2021.
Garland issued a directive on Oct. 4, 2021, mobilizing the FBI to assist local law enforcement partners with a "disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence" against school administrators.
Garland said during a congressional hearing soon thereafter that he had issued the order just after the NSBA sent a letter to the White House, which the NSBA later retracted, that had asked the White House to investigate parents displaying threatening behavior at school board meetings as possible "domestic terrorists."
