A probe of the National School Boards Association's call for federal investigations of parents as domestic terrorists found the White House was involved in the drafting process that led to the controversial request.
The group found that Chip Slaven, then-CEO of the National School Boards association, told a White House senior policy adviser on Sept. 21 that he planned to ask Biden to use the FBI and Justice Department to investigate threats against school board members under counterterrorism statutes and the Patriot Act.
The White House adviser, Mary C. Wall, solicited Slaven for examples of threats made against school board members in advance of a Sept. 22 meeting with the Justice Department and other White House offices.
"Evidence indicates that White House officials discussed the existence of the Letter, its requests, and the contents of the Letter with Department of Justice officials more than a week before the Letter was finalized and sent to President Biden," the report says.
The Washington Free Beacon reported on Oct. 21 that the White House was in contact with the National School Boards Association before the group sent the letter.
Sen. Ben Sasse, who questioned Garland about the federal task force in a Senate hearing last year, said the association report showed the letter was a "Political hack job drummed up by progressive activists and their partners in the Biden White House to chill parents' exercise of free speech."
The association said in a statement that the letter did not represent its views and that it does not support federal intervention in school board meetings.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
