House Republicans Asked AG Merrick Garland to Withdraw Memo Tasking Feds to Investigate Parents

Republicans on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary have asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to withdraw the memo (PDF) he wrote in response to the National School Boards Association’s letter (PDF) to President Joe Biden requesting that the federal government investigate parents under the Patriot Act for “domestic terrorism.”

Parents across the country have been attending local school board meetings to speak out against “transgender” policies, mask mandates, and the teaching of “critical race theory.” Many of those parents are angry, and the NSBA claimed that concerned parents have threatened violence.
