Biden DOJ Targets Parents Who Complain to School Boards
5 Oct 2021
BUCK: The Department of Justice, by farโฆ Well, in the covid era maybe you could say HHS, the CDC. But that stuff is also enforced by the DOJ when push comes to shove. Theyโre the ones that will prosecute you for the fake passports, fake covid passports, that kind of stuff. But DOJ and IRS are the letters that for an American citizen you gotta be on guard when you hear theyโre coming after you, right?
Thatโs a major concern. DOJ has said that theyโre looking โ and this is from Merrick Garland, the attorney general. This is not some low-level person. The head of the DOJ is saying theyโre looking at the threats against teachers. And hereโs Ian Prior, whoโs a former DOJ spokesperson whoโs pointing out this morning on Fox News on Americaโs Newsroom, what the heck are they talking about?
PRIOR: Weโre talking for the most part about parents that are going to school board meetings to petition the government for redress of their grievances. And now when you have the Department of Justice wielding the FBI saying that weโre gonna go after parents for threats and harassment. Like, obviously credible threats are certainly something that, you know, they should look into, or local law enforcement should look into.
But harassment? What is โharassmentโ? Is that โHey, Iโm gonna show up at a school board meeting and talk about what youโre doing and hold you accountable; Iโm gonna show up at a board of supervisors meeting and ask why youโre not taking leadership roles to fix what is going on in these communitiesโ? Is that harassment? Is that what Merrick Garland is going to after?
CLAY: Buck, I did this. We talked about this. I went and talked at my local school board. Am I gonna be investigated for harassing people by the FBI because I said masks made no sense?

BUCK: The FBI may show up on the Travis desk, but you can just start talking football with them; theyโll probably leave you alone.
CLAY: (laughing) I just donโt know how this is remotely something that needs to be in any way publicly acknowledged. Look. Letโs just be clear. If somebody threatens to kill a teacher, they should be investigated. That is a serious and credible, potentially, threat of violence. That should be investigated.
But if somebody is trying to hold a school board accountable for a disastrous decision as it pertains to masks or who is allowed to enroll or who is not, thatโs democracy. And this is really a messy situation to try to define, which is why I think ultimately, Buck, what this is is just an effort to intimidate people who are trying to speak out in ways that the Biden administration doesnโt support.
Remember, Buck, Joe Biden himself from the White House discussed the Williamson County School Board meeting that I was a part of multiple times as being evidence of something that was wrong with the country. Iโm sorry. I donโt think that any parent who is sharing their opinion about a school board that they are helping to fund in a school district that their tax dollars allow to open and to functionโฆ That is what we should want. And if you look at the data, the more involved parents are in the school, the better the school does and the better result is for children.
BUCK: Yes. The reason for thisโฆ Even if they donโt follow up on it, even if a bunch of guys with badges and guns donโt show up to speak to some soccer moms and say, โHey! You said some rough stuff to the teachers union reps at the local school board meeting. Better watch yourself!โ Even if that doesnโt happen โ which I gotta say, Iโm not convinced that it wonโt happen. But even if that doesnโt happen, the point of this was is a brushback pitch, to use a baseball analogy.
CLAY: No doubt. There you go! Sports fan: Buck Sexton.
BUCK: Thatโs what Iโm talking about. Guy goes to an SEC football game, now heโs ready to be in the press box.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: But, no, I think this is meant to send a message to people to say, โWeโre watching you.โ
CLAY: I think youโre right.
BUCK: The DOJ is watching the little automatons of the Big Government in these teachers unions and in the teacher school board meetings โ or the school board meetings, rather โ and they want people to know, โYou better watch yourself or else,โ and that has what we would call a chilling effect, to go back to the speech stuff.
CLAY: There you go.
BUCK: Thatโs right, dropping all the knowledge today. It has a chilling effect on peopleโs willingness to not only confront on masks, but also the CRT, the critical race theory blowback that schools were just lying to people about this. โThere is no CRT! You donโt know what CRT is. There is some CRT but itโs not that bad,โ and now finally, โYeah, shut up! Weโll teach your kids CRT or weโre gonna sic the DOJ on you.โ Thatโs whatโs going on.
CLAY: And this just continues to destroyโฆ To the extent that anybody still needs to see it destroyed, but I think even for people who expected Joe Biden to be a disaster, this is more of a disaster than anybody could have anticipated. There is literally nothing that Biden and his administration is touching that isnโt becoming worse in short order in the ten months since he took over in January of 2021.
BUCK: It doesnโt look itโs gonna get any better any time soon, either.
CLAY: Well, we got one year until the election.
BUCK: When you see the way the left is reacting to all this stuff with the budget, by the way, and how that now theyโre gonna get through a lot of the things that they want. Theyโre gonna be funding with the Green New Deal stuff. Weโll come back and talk more about the status of these agreements.
The reason, just so everyone knows, weโre not getting that deep into today is because theyโre negotiating over the price of the huge socialist package. So weโll try to pull pieces out of it here and there. But until we know the price and whatโs actually in it, there are some limitations. But we know what the reality is of the Biden agenda.
Theyโre gonna give all this money. Theyโre gonna tax, harass, regulate, and shut down anybody stands in their way, and theyโre gonna transfer as many trillions of dollars as possible to favored constituencies, to woke corporations and to the welfare state โ and to illegal aliens, by the way, as well. Thatโs the whole point.
CLAY: And not only that, Buck, theyโre trying to race it through because they know that theyโre gonna reap a whirlwind in 2022, and effectively will be frozen in place for two years until we figure out whoโs gonna win in 2024.
