The facts
The Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group released a 2026 report detailing the Biden‑era effort to treat parents who spoke out at school board meetings as domestic terrorists. The National School Boards Association (NSBA) admitted it coordinated with the Department of Education in July 2021 on talking points against CRT and transgender policies. On September 29 2021 the NSBA sent a letter to President Biden describing those parents as participating in domestic terrorism and requesting federal arrest, prosecution and incarceration. Five days later, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum creating a task force, directing U.S. Attorneys and the FBI to meet with law‑enforcement partners, and establishing lines for reporting parents. The FBI opened twenty‑five “Guardian assessments,” tagging seventeen as “EDUOFFICIALS.” A whistleblower disclosed investigations of a mother for belonging to a right‑wing mom group and owning a gun, and a father for railing against the government. The report notes no prosecutions resulted. The memo was later rescinded, and the Department will now offer affected parents access to their files, add a disclaimer about constitutional concerns, issue formal apologies where violations are found, and fund $1.5 million for training school resource officers on parents’ First Amendment rights.
Our take
Merrick Garland didn’t just sign a memo; he signed a confession. DOJ attorneys warned the fucking plan was “horrible,” stupid, stupid, stupid, and even suggested it could be renamed the Anti‑MAGA Task Force. Yet two days later the memorandum went out with Garland’s name front‑and‑center, showing he wasn’t misled - he was complicit. The NSBA’s own letter, which labeled parents as domestic terrorists, sparked a federal dragnet that turned school‑board dissent into a national security issue. The FBI’s response - twenty‑five assessments, a new “EDUOFFICIALS” tag, and investigations of a gun‑owning mom and a dad who complained about the government - produced zero prosecutions. In other words, the Department built a surveillance machine, aimed it at ordinary citizens, and got nothing but paperwork. The rescinded memo now comes with a disclaimer admitting “serious constitutional concerns,” formal apologies, and a $1.5 million grant to train school resource officers on First Amendment rights. That grant is the punchline: the same agency that tried to silence parents is now paying to teach officials how not to trample those rights. It’s a classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse, only the fox now wears a badge and a smile. The takeaway is clear: when the government weaponizes its own power against its people, the only thing it leaves behind is a trail of apologies and a lot of wasted taxpayer money. And that, dear readers, is a f‑‑‑ing disgrace.
