Garland 'running interference for teachers unions' while FBI creates education threat tag: Rufo
Fox News
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland misled Congress and is "running interference for the teachers unions" who largely support the critical race theory curriculum, Manhattan Institute fellow Chris Rufo told Fox News on Thursday.
"We have the documentation dating back more than a month. Merrick Garland [is] running interference for the teachers unions and school board association, trying to deflect this anger away from school board."
In a statement to Fox News, the FBI denied allegations it is actively surveilling or investigating parents who oppose their elected school board members, writing that it "has never been in the business of investigating parents who speak out or policing speech at school board meetings and we are not going to start now."
"The creation of a threat tag in no way changes the longstanding requirements for opening an investigation," the bureau's statement concluded.
