House Republicans pressure DOJ for info on school board memo: 'Pretext to silence parents'
Fox News
House Republicans sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding more information regarding his controversial Oct. 4 memo addressing the harassment of public school officials, citing concerns it will serve as a "pretext to silence parents across the country."
The Republicans are asking for proof that shows a national increase in the harassment of school officials, as well as all communications between DOJ employees and the White House regarding the memo. They also want to see all previous drafts of the memo and an outline of the DOJ’s guidelines for ensuring that "prosecutions are not targeting individuals in retaliation for exercising fundamental rights or civil liberties."
"It is very alarming to me that the U.S. Department of Justice is being weaponized to target parents who are simply concerned with the well-being of their children," Norman said in a statement. "Now more than ever, parents should have an active involvement in what their children are being taught, especially as school districts across the country incorporate far-left ‘social justice’ efforts within their academics."
