Trump: DOJ order on school harassment 'tough stance' on concerned parents

Former President Donald Trump said federal authorities are imposing a “very tough stance” on concerned parents after the Justice Department said it plans to monitor the alleged “harassment” of school board members.

This comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday directed the FBI to take on “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against school boards and teachers amid growing parental anger over curricula, mask mandates, and other polarizing issues such as critical race theory. The former president said Tuesday the move was “very tough because the parents are very wounded by what’s taken place by, in many cases, radical left school boards.”
