GOOD LUCK CHUCK: Don’t get me wrong; I’m thrilled, and grateful to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland on the Senate Floor recall his memo asking the FBI to investigate parents who speak out at school board meetings, I just don’t think it’s going to work. Back in December, after Grassley and other Republicans wrote a letter asking the Justice Department to withdraw the memo, they responded making clear they had no intention of doing so.
Still, this was nice to hear:
So, the Feds may be keeping track of school board meetings—even if it creates a horrible chilling effect. And, of course the FBI looking over your shoulder would have a chilling effect,” Grassley stated. “Next week the Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on domestic terrorism. I hope we’re going to be focusing on the serious threats facing our country—and I hope no one thinks the focus is on our nation’s parents.
