They’re using the excuse of “threats of violence” to criminalize people expressing their 1st Amendment Rights (speech, protest, grievance), which are also protected by every single state constitution
DOJ launching effort to combat threats of violence against school officials
The Department of Justice is launching an effort to combat what it said is an “increase” in “threats of violence” against school officials and teachers across the country.
“Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” Attorney General Garland said of the effort in a statement Monday. “Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety.”
Garland directed the FBI and U.S. attorney’s offices to hold meetings with federal, state and local law enforcement leaders in the next 30 days, during which they will discuss ways to combat what the DOJ called a “disturbing trend” of harassment and threats against school officials.
Critics say the move amounts to an attempt by the Biden administration to bully parents from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Why is the DOJ even getting involved in local issues to start with? These are not national crimes. None of this, in the few cases where parents went too far (usually after being enticed and abused by school officials and school boards), crossed state line. This will be an utter abuse of the power of the federal government, purely to intimidate parents.
The DOJ will also be launching a task force aimed at addressing the issue, while attempting to determine how the federal government could use its powers to prosecute crimes and to assist local law enforcement in incidents that are not federal crimes.
“Not federal crimes”, so they’ll manufacture a way to prosecute parents. Trying to push this nation one step closer to splitting. This is all rather chilling. Mr. Unity is doing little to help the nation, like assisting with the blockages at the ports, skyrocketing fuel prices, which causes the cost of living to rise, and shortages, and doing all he can to tear the nation apart.
The move comes just four days after a leading organization representing the nation’s school boards called on the Biden administration and federal law enforcement agencies to assist school boards, which the group said have seen an increase in violent threats in response to COVID-19 restrictions and critical race theory curriculum.
In most of the stories about this so-called violence, there are no actual threats. It’s usually just parents being mad at school board meetings and telling the boards they won’t comply, and that the boards should be listening to parents. There’s almost never an actual threat. So, Dementia Joe will sick his DOJ, which has pretty much no Constitutional authority, on parents, just like they’re going after people who simply wandered around the Capitol Building while mostly ignoring the violence still going on from Antifa in Portland
The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.
They want to reclassify dissent as "disinformation" and "domestic terrorism," justifying an unprecedented intervention, both directly and in partnership with tech companies.

Where’s the DOJ in going after the Antifa nuts who are still trying to burn federal buildings? How about those who are harassing a sitting U.S. Senator in bathrooms and on airplanes, which, are federal crimes, especially since the people are illegal aliens?
