The uptick in backlash from parents this year has to usually do with matters of either COVID limitations in school districts or the teaching of critical race theory in the school curriculum.
On Oct. 4, Merrick Garland issued a memorandum announcing: "The Justice Department will launch a series of additional efforts in the coming days designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel."
The response by the DOJ was driven by an earlier letter addressed by the National School Boards Association on Sept. 2 asking for the Biden administration to use the weight of the federal government in retribution against these angry parents showing up to school board meetings.

TRAGIC TURN: FORMER PHILADELPHIA COP MAKES SHOCKING CONFESSION
When it comes to Garland's memorandum, the attorneys general say Garland is operating under a "flawed premise" and, by throwing down the gauntlet as his department has done, it's an act of intimidation working against "the First Amendment rights of parents to address school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff on educational matters by seeking to criminalize lawful dissent and intimidate parents into silence."
