A new Justice Department report claims the Biden administration used federal law enforcement against parents who challenged school policies. Some of them were even described as potential "domestic terrorists" for speaking out at school board meetings.
The 273-page report, released Monday by the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, examines former Attorney General Merrick Garland's October 2021 memorandum directing federal authorities to address alleged threats against school officials. The department says the memo followed pressure from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) and Biden White House officials.

According to the report, the FBI opened 25 "Guardian assessments" involving parents following Garland's memo.
One investigation involved a mother whom an FBI whistleblower said was scrutinized because she belonged to a "right-wing mom's group" and owned a gun.
The department also says internal DOJ and FBI personnel raised concerns about the memo, questioning its constitutional basis and whether the effort was becoming political.
One employee reportedly called the initiative "stupid, stupid, stupid," while another warned it could become an "Anti-MAGA Task Force." The report says more than a dozen DOJ and FBI personnel expressed concerns about the directive.
