It's much like Congress going against the wishes of the People.

In my local district, the anti- maskers were out in full force and harassed school board members at home and vandalized private properties.

School board meetings exploded with sentiments on both sides of the argument. Anti- mask “ spirit- wear” tee shirts were worn to these meetings and parents brought their young children to meetings to speak about how they viewed masks as communism.

This debate pitted neighbors against neighbors.

All of this occurred before a vote.

Then the Governor preempted school boards and mandated masks in school which immediately ended the debate at the district level. The relief within the community was palatable. And life has gone on.

The impetus for harassment of teachers, administrators and boards is a huge variable and covers an near endless variety of topics including, but not limited to lotteries, classroom assignments, school hours, homework, busses, cell phone policies, sexting, attire, school drop- off/ pick- up organization, a student’s grade, counseling, lunch menus, Halloween, and a whole lot more.
None of this is within the scope of the the FBI's jurisdiction. The FBI investigates federal crimes that fall under 18 U.S. Code Title 18— Crimes and Criminal Procedures. What federal crimes have been committed and why not leave it up to state and local law enforcement authorities?

Are you expecting that the FBI will intimidate these irate parents into compliance with the school boards? Thankfully, that's not how it works. The FBI investigates major federal crimes. They aren't Biden's jack booted Storm Troopers or Brown Shirts that do his bidding or that of a political hack like Merrick Garland. At least not yet.

That sounds like a local jurisdiction issue to me.

FBI is not Biden’s personal stormtroopers to deal with irate parents at a local school boarding meeting.

Don't know if this has been posted, but man we really dodged a bullet with this guy Merrick Garland. He could easily have been on the SCOTUS for life but for McConnell.

I know McConnell gets a bad rap from many Republicans, but he saved our bacon with that one.

Republicans have had a string of bad legislative leaders going back to Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole. McConnell is the most effective GOP legislative leader since Thomas B. Reed.

I don't see any threats to children maybe you can list all the examples, I see many school board members being threatened. Protests against mask mandates, CRT, next week it will be some other contrived threat to their children.

Like I indicated school board members should not have to tolerate these threats, people following their cars, going to their homes, this is despicable.

Good parents don't threaten school board members that were elected by a majority of residents, a fact you are forgetting. Poor examples for their children.
