Documents: White House, DOJ Communicated Over Memo Targeting Parents at School Board Meetings

America First Legal shared documents with Fox News showing communication between the Biden White House and the DOJ over the memo that demonized protesting parents at school board meetings.

Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo weaponized the FBI against these parents after the National School Boards Association begged former President Joe Biden’s administration to intervene.

The NSBA described the protests as “a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”

The memo came out on October 4, 2021.

Unfortunately, the report does not share the documents, so I could not review them myself:

The document dump included an email from an aide to the deputy attorney general that the DOJ was searching for a “federal hook” to use to address a letter by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) raising alarm about parents who were expressing outrage at school board meetings across the country.”We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But WH has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion,” deputy attorney general aide Kevin Chambers wrote to a colleague on Oct. 1.

I cannot remember if Biden or the White House ever denied having knowledge of the memo before its release.

The DOJ said: “Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.”
