Conservative education activists ripped the Biden administration over reports that the FBI had opened multiple investigations into parents protesting at their local school boards, saying the administration was attempting to silence parents.
The criticisms came after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee disclosed, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, that, based on whistleblower reports, the FBI and the Department of Justice had been actively opening investigations into parents for merely expressing disdain at school district policies. Parent activists denounced the news, calling the administration's actions"dystopian.
Nicole Neily, the president of the parent activist organization Parents Defending Education, likewise blasted the administration's actions, which she said amounted to"mock[ing] parents' concerns about their children's education" and"gaslighting them over what was truly taking place in America's schools."
