He cited no evidence for what he claims is a \u201cdisturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence\u201d against school boards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His memo was a shocking abuse of his office on behalf of left-wing activists who have been using schools as brainwashing factories for future <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> justice warriors.

It is not impartial, but a left-wing activist outfit, which even has embraced someone accused of actual domestic terrorism, as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>week points out. In 2019, the NSBA invited as keynote speaker to its annual conference the former black militant communist Angela Davis, who once was on the FBI\u2019s Ten Most Wanted list over her alleged involvement in the Black Panther murder of a judge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NSBA\u2019s letter cites as evidence of the urgent threat posed by parents a flimsy report by an activist nonprofit which grandly calls itself the Armed Conflict Location &amp; Event Data Project. The report cites former President Donald Trump as a bogeyman in its first line and demonizes as racist legislation in states such as Florida which was brought in after last summer\u2019s violent riots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other words, one left-wing activist group citing another left-wing activist group is proof enough for the president to instruct his attorney general to instruct the FBI to criminalize parents trying to stop left-wing activists from hijacking their children\u2019s education.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Parents have every right to tell school boards what their children should be taught and every right to be upset when they are ignored.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the one positive thing to have come out of remote learning: Parents are now more aware of the shenanigans in the classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have heard American moms at school board meetings eloquently reject the perversions being forced on their children under the banner of \u201cequity\u201d and \u201ctolerance.\u201d They reject hateful racism disguised as \u201canti-racism\u201d which divides their children into oppressors and victims.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They reject gender ideology which teaches their children there is no such thing as a boy or a girl. They reject racial quotas designed to exclude Asian students and unscientific pandemic paranoia which has seen teacher unions keep schools closed and demand children be masked and vaccinated, regardless of their well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Time and again we have seen arrogant school board members turn off microphones, shut down meetings and then, behind closed doors, ridicule these parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So now the heavy hand of the DOJ has been deployed to silence them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with that.
