In case you’ve not heard, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has mobilized against a new and unprecedented “threat” of “criminal conduct” facing the nation. So grave is this menace that the FBI has marshaled the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), the DOJ’s Criminal Division, National Security Division, Civil Rights Division, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, the Community Relations Service, and the Office of Justice Programs.
What’s provoked such a massive federal response? Is it the mass infiltration of our southern borders, Cartel criminal enterprises, child-sex traffickers, Antifa-inspired riots in our inner cities, or the biggest jump in American homicide rates in 60 years?
Sorry, but none of these actual woes are considered sufficiently serious for such sweeping federal action. It’s taken something far more ominous: parents of school-aged children. Specifically, the DOJ is worried about vocal parents at school board meetings upset over critical race theory (CRT) indoctrination being imposed on their kids in public schools.
It’s true. All this was outlined in a release from the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs and a memorandum from Attorney General Merrick Garland. Supposedly, the DOJ’s action was prompted by a letter addressed five days earlier to President Biden from the National School Boards Association (NSBA), citing what it claimed were “acts of violence against interstate commerce” by angry parents.
