Deputy AG Admits Not 'Extremism' for Parents to Advocate for Education

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : "This propaganda continues despite the fact that critical race theory is not taught in public schools and remains a complex law school and graduate school subject well beyond the scope of a K-12 class," NSBA asserted.
55% : when that tips over into violence or threats there is a role for law enforcement.
54% : "What we are now seeing is a pattern of threats and violence occurring across state lines and via online platforms, which is why we need the federal government's assistance."
49% : So, absolutely we take the alarming rise in violent crime exceptionally seriously, and indeed I have heard from the many hours I have spent with law enforcement leaders across this country how urgently they feel it is to address this rise in violent crime, and we are working every day to address that challenge.
46% : In response to a letter last week by NSBA, in which the school boards organization asked President Joe Biden for "federal law enforcement and other assistance" to cope with frustrated parents at local school board meetings, Attorney General Merrick Garland mobilized the FBI working with U.S. attorneys across the country against parents based on NSBA reports of incidents, such as these below, which the group characterizes as "threats or actual acts of violence against our school districts":
44% : the Attorney General issued talks about the importance of bringing federal, state, local law enforcement together to make sure that there is awareness on how to report threats that may occur and to ensure that there's an open line of communication, to address threats, to address violence, and to address law enforcement issues in that context which is the job of the Justice Department, nothing more.
37% : Cotton questioned Monaco about the Department of Justice's mobilization of federal law enforcement, at the recommendation of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), against parents who voice opposition to mask mandates and the teaching of concepts of Critical Race Theory at local school board meetings.
