A Republican lawmaker said parents who attend school board meetings and question the curriculum are being flagged by the Justice Department and FBI. Federal officials investigate potential crimes, not meeting attendance.
The memo led to misinformation such as theA Trump-nominated judge
An FBI spokesperson told PolitiFact that the agency does not"flag" parents for attending meetings and questioning their children’s curriculum.Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote to Garland in November 2021. The FBI uses"threat tags" to track information and spot trends — it does not necessarily signal a full investigation, which occurs if there is evidence of potential violence and violation of federal law, an FBI spokesperson told PolitiFact. The EDUOFFICIALS tag was created to track instances of threats directed against school officials.
Perry’s office provided no evidence and his claim echoes misleading statements about a 2021 Justice Department memo directing federal law enforcement to hold meetings nationwide about criminal threats against school officials.
