The newest Banana Republic better known as the United States of Something, continues its march towards totalitarianism and Marxism.
This time by using the Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after parents for having a say in their children’s education, and for holding school boards and teachers accountable.
As reported by One America News Network, the Biden Justice Department has created a task force with the whole purpose of silencing parents critical of government (public) school boards.
Is the Biden administration fixing to designate parents who disagree or questioned school boards as domestic terrorists? Can this government get any crazier?
The National School Boards Association, a liberal organization, sent a letter to the White House claiming public schools and their staff were in “immediate danger.”
I believe 100% in the rule of law and if a parent gets physical against a public official, he or she should be managed accordingly. This is not about that, this is about the fact that parents, because of the pandemic and lockdowns, have become more involved in their children’s education and they do not like what they see.
In a statement, the DOJ said that it would create a task force to address individual incidents and work to educate school staff on how to identify potential threats as well as gather evidence. I am curious to see what the DOJ identifies as “potential threats.”
This is nothing more than an attempt to silence parents who finally have seen firsthand the destructive side of the public-school boards, teachers, and the “indoctrination” material that has been spoon fed to their children.
Parents are fighting draconian Covid-19 restrictions, the teachings of false American history, and Critical Race Theory curriculums among other things.
The school boards do not like it, so they want to silence parents by criminalizing free speech and using the DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as their enforcement tool.
Since when does the DOJ and the FBI oversee school matters? This is an issue to be managed by local authorities. Furthermore, the Department of Education have its own cadre of special agents to oversee matters such as the ones “claimed” by the National School Boards Association.
This is nothing more than more unchecked government overreach. By using the DOJ as their guard dog, schools and teachers are hoping parents will be intimidated enough to walk away.
That would be a big mistake, the government has no business choosing what is best for our children. That is the sole responsibility of the parents, and they should have a say in what’s adequate education for their children. Parents pay the taxes that keep these government schools and their staff in business.
Parents have the right to face and question their school boards without being intimidated by the government for simply exercising their right to free speech. Parents have the right to demand their children receive a good education, free of political bias.
I can think of many other things the DOJ and the FBI could use their time on, things like election fraud, Antifa and BLM destruction of government property and assaults on private citizens, you know things that need to be investigated.
