The NSBA sent a letter to the DOJ that urged action against parents speaking out at school board meetings under the guise of the Patriot Act. The DOJ then used that letter as justification to use its counter-terrorism division to add “threat tags” to parents.

But as bad as that was, today’s news makes it all the worse. While we knew that the White House “consulted” on the letter, that was apparently completely underselling the government’s involvement. In reality, the NSBA did not send that letter organically out of its own concern. Rather, Joe Biden’s Department of Education solicited the letter.-
