AG Garland “Weaponizes” DoJ Against Dissenting Parents After School Board Association Pleas
The announcement also comes days after a national association of school boards asked the Biden administration to take “extraordinary measures” to prevent alleged threats against school staff that the association said was coming from parents who oppose mask mandates and the teaching of critical race theory.
Garland directed the FBI and U.S. attorneys in the next 30 days to convene meetings with federal, state, and local leaders within 30 days to “facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff,” according to a letter (pdf) the attorney general sent on Monday to all U.S. attorneys, the FBI director, the director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys, and the assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s criminal division.
According to the DOJ, further efforts will be rolled out in the coming days, including a task force that will determine how to use federal resources to prosecute offending parents as well as how to advise state entities on prosecutions in cases where no federal law is broken. The Justice Department will also provide training to school staff on how to report threats from parents and preserve evidence to aid in investigation and prosecution.
“In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools,” Garland wrote.
“While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.”
School boards across the nation have increasingly become an arena for heated debate over culture, politics, and health. Parents groups have ramped up pressure on boards over the teaching of critical race theory and the imposition of mask mandates. The debate is split sharply along political lines, with Democrats largely in favor of critical race theory and mask mandates, and Republicans opposing both.
The amount and severity of the threats against officials are not known, but Garland’s letter suggests the phenomenon is widespread.
Full AG Garland Statement (with our thoughts):
MEMORANDUM FOR DIRECTOR, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION; DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR U.S. ATTORNEYS ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, CRIMINAL DIVISION UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS
FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: PARTNERSHIP AMONG FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL, AND TERRITORIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ADDRESS THREATS AGAINST SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, BOARD MEMBERS, TEACHERS, AND STAFF
In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools. While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.
[ZH: But intimidating parents who dare to have the view that the nation’s founding fathers and the founding documents are not in fact systemically racist and does not want their children taught that is the case is ok?]
Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values. Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to he able to do their work without fear for their safety.
[ZH: “Dedication” to a “proper education” is admirable; indoctrination in Marxism is not]
The Department takes these incidents seriously and is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate. In the coming days, the Department will announce a series of measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel.
[ZH: What exactly is the crime?]
Coordination and partnership with local law enforcement is critical to implementing these measures for the benefit of our nation’s nearly 14,000 public school districts. To this end, I am directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working with each United States Attorney, to convene meetings with federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district within 30 days of the issuance of this memorandum. These meetings will facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response.
[ZH: We wonder how many local law enforcement officials, while busily watching for vaccine passport offenders, and mask-mandate refusers, will acquiesce to enforcing these new laws to protect the very people who are preaching that America’s systemic racism starts with the men (and women) in blue?]
The Department is steadfast in its commitment to protect all people in the United States from violence, threats of violence, and other forms of intimidation and harassment.
[ZH: Presumably intimidation and emotional harassment of young white boys and girls for their ‘whiteness’, privilege, and systemic racism is beyond that ‘protection’?]
As Chris Rufo (@RealChrisRufo) tweeted: “The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.”

Leftists When They See Joe Rogan Still Alive After Taking Ivermectin:
The Radical Prosecutor in Charge of the January 6 Investigations
Channing Phillips is not colorblind, nor blind in the application of justice, as the American people expect.
In July, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia dismissed a case against a Black Lives Matter protester charged with attacking a federal police officer last summer in Lafayette Square.
Channing Phillips, currently in charge of the office, dropped the charge after the defendant’s lawyer argued the facial recognition technology used to identify the suspect was unreliable and racist. Glenn Ivey, the defense lawyer, is a high-priced D.C.-area criminal attorney who just happened to work with Phillips in the 1990s.
The biased swamp in action.
Phillips, however, has not been as lenient with defendants facing charges for entering the Capitol on January 6. His office now is handling roughly 650 active criminal cases; the investigation is overwhelming his office and the court system. (On any given day, roughly half of the hearings in the D.C. federal district court are related to the Capitol breach probe.)
Channing Phillips is not a household name, but he is arguably one of the most powerful men in Washington right now, overseeing the Biden regime’s nationwide dragnet for Americans who protested Joe Biden’s election. This is Phillips’ third stint as acting U.S. attorney for D.C., having been twice appointed by Barack Obama to temporarily fill the position. In between, Phillips worked as senior advisor for Attorney General Eric Holder and then his successor, Loretta Lynch.
In March, Phillips replaced Michael Sherwin, the first prosecutor in charge of the Capitol breach probe who bragged about unleashing a “shock and awe” crusade to arrest at least 100 Trump supporters before Biden’s inauguration.
Phillips is more low-key in public but his office is no less ruthless. His prosecutors continue to seek pretrial detention for anyone accused of violence, including assault of a federal officer, the same charge his office just dropped against a BLM protester. In some instances, Phillips’ lawyers want even nonviolent offenders to remain behind bars for months awaiting a...
Black woman is charged with posing as Ku Klux Klan member and posting notes to seven African-American neighbors threatening to burn down their homes and kill their children
- Terresha Lucas, 30, was charged last week by police in Douglasville, Georgia
- Lucas, a black woman, was charged with 8 counts of making terroristic threats
- Lucas allegedly sent threatening notes to families posing as white KKK member
- Letters allegedly contain N-word as well as threats to 'hang people, burn homes'
- At least seven families in Brookmont subdivision reported receiving letters
- First letters were sent back in December and continued until last month
- Police did not say what evidence led them to arrest Lucas last week
Terresha Lucas, 30, has been charged with eight counts of making terroristic threats, according to the Douglasville, Georgia Police Department.
Investigators allege that Lucas wrote letters describing herself as a ‘six-feet-tall white male with a long, red beard who did not live in the neighborhood.’
In March, residents of the Brookmont subdivision of Manning Drive in Douglasville, some 23 miles west of Atlanta, began receiving threatening, racist letters in the mail.
'I received one two days ago and I was alarmed at what I read,' one resident told CBS46 News.
'The letter is using the N-word, talking about the KKK, hanging people, killing kids, killing whole families, and setting houses on fire.'
Police in an Atlanta suburb have arrested a 30-year-old black woman who allegedly sent letters to several African-American families claiming to be a white Ku Klu Klan member who was going to burn down their homes and kill their children. The letters were sent to homes in Douglasville, Georgia (above)
At least seven families reported receiving the threatening letters.
The first letters were sent to two homes back in December of last year, according to investigators.
Douglas Police Detective Nathan Shumaker said that the letters were left in the mailboxes at night and found the next day.
Similar threatening letters that police said had the same tone and verbiage were reported on February 17, February 22, March 1, and March 3.
Six months went by without any letters until another note was reportedly received on September 6.
Police spent months investigating the matter, going door-to-door and checking doorbell cameras.
Investigators also handed out flyers to residents asking for information.
The break in the case came last month on Labor Day. Police said they obtained evidence linking the letters to Lucas’ home, though the department did not specify.
No contact information was available for Lucas, with cops in the Atlanta suburb yet to release a mugshot of her.
Officers have yet to share a motive for the bizarre crime, and it is unclear if Lucas has retained an attorney.
Records posted by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office indicate that Lucas was...
UK Celebrates Black History Month With Website Promoting White People Are “Genetically Defective Descendants of Albino Mutants”
“It’s amazing how so many white people have overcome their genetic defects and done so well in life.”
The UK celebrated its 34th year of Black History Month and decided this year’s theme would be “Proud to Be.” While pulling out all the stops, the UK was caught allowing taxpayer-funded advertisements to be promoted on a Black History Month website that claimed white people are “genetically defective descendants of albino mutants” and that the white man “fantasies that he is genetically equal to the black male.”
First reported by The Telegraph, the Black History Month website is first to appear online when searched. The website also includes content by famous black figures and major political parties as advertisements for the police and MI6 play alongside.
While the website has a long history of promoting racist content towards white people, most followers were shocked to learn the site is managed by… a white man named Ian Thomas.
With the news that both taxpayer dollars were going towards anti-white propaganda and that the person behind the website was a white man, Thomas and the government received a fair share of criticism. When Linda Bellos, who famously launched the Black History Month in the UK during the 80s, found out a white man ran the site, she compared it to “enslavement.”
“The whole purpose of Black History Month is to empower us [black people] … I don’t want some white man, or even white woman, playing that role. The taking of ideas, and indeed the taking of people, was done very successfully by the British, it is called enslavement. I am not talking about his motives, but I am talking about the outcome.”
As for the website’s belief that all white people are somehow genetically disordered, users online were quick to fight that narrative. One said, “If that was the case, then surely they would want to return to their country of origin rather than mix with genetically defective mutants. What can our...
