Republicans Release Documents Allegedly Showing FBI Tracked Parents Using ‘Counterterrorism Tools’  BY RUSTY WEISS  NOVEMBER 17, 2021 

Attorney General Merrick Garland has been accused of lying to Congress after House Republicans released documents provided by a whistleblower that allegedly show the FBI investigated parents critical of local school boards using “counterterrorism tools.

The documents purportedly show the FBI created a tag for threats against teachers and school administrators.

The ‘threat tag’ was formulated as part of the bureau’s implementation of a controversial memo published by Garland that mobilized the FBI to address parents who ‘pose a threat’ at school board meetings.

That memo was developed after the National School Boards Association (NSBA) along with the White House and the Department of Justice (DOJ) coordinated to create a controversial letter comparing concerned parents to domestic terrorists.

House Republicans released an email showing the FBI advised agents to apply the threat tag “EDUOFFICIALS” to all investigations of threats directed specifically at education officials.
