You cannot change the reality of history, just like you can't change the definition of what a woman is.
33The Biden administration's Justice Department looked for a "federal hook" so they could criminally charge parents protesting school policies related to COVID, transgenderism, critical race theory, and other issues.
The conservative America First Legal released a
tranche of documents it obtained dating back to the fall of 2021, when the National School Boards Association had written a
letter to the White House, which it has since retracted, asking if the administration could investigate parents engaging in supposed threatening behavior at board meetings as "domestic terrorists,"
Fox News reported.
Deputy attorney general aide Kevin Chambers emailed a colleague on Oct. 1, 2021, writing, "We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But [White House] has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion."
A Civil Rights Division attorney wrote concerning the issue on Oct. 3, 2021, "I read the letter from NSBA, and looked at the links for a handful of the footnotes, and it appears to me that the vast, vast majority of the behavior cited cannot be reached by federal law," adding that "almost all of the language being used is protected by the First Amendment."
