In recent weeks, the National School Boards Association asked the Biden Justice Department to protect them from protesting parents by declaring them domestic terrorists.
Now the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is asking for the same thing.
Here’s part of the letter they sent to Merrick Garland:
The Honorable Merrick GarlandOffice of the Attorney GeneralWashington, DC 20530Dear Attorney General Garland:The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), on behalf local health departments across the country, would like to thank you for your attention to the increased threats and harassment being levied at individuals working to protect their communities during the pandemic. Local health department officials and staff know the risks all too well, with documented harassment, threats, and violence impacting governmental health department staff across the country since the pandemic began. Therefore, we strongly request that you include the protection of public health department officials and staff in your directive to federal authorities to meet with local, state, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement to address the increased risk in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school-related personnel…While the pandemic has brought greater appreciation by many to the importance of public health and the people who work in the field, too many health department leaders and their staff have experienced threats to their jobs, their safety, and their family members. These threats have come from community members, organized (and armed) anti government militias, and politicians. As one of our members, Dr. Jennifer McKenney stated in her testimony before Congress on September 29, 2021: “Even though the virus is the enemy, their anger and frustration are often directed toward public health officials like me.” These threats have taken a toll: at least 300 public health department leaders have left their posts since the pandemic began, impacting 20% of Americans. In many cases, they have been verbally abused and physically threatened. Their personal information has been shared, their families targeted, and their offices attacked. They have been politically scapegoated by some elected officials and either fired or forced to leave their positions for standing up for the health of their communities. Of note, many of these threats have included misogynistic and racist undertones, further violating these officials.
This group knows what they’re doing. They referenced the request from the school boards association:
This is a tactic frequently used by campus leftists to silence opposition. If you want to shut someone down, you simply claim their presence is making you feel unsafe.
The college-campusification of America is nearly complete.
