Rep. Chip Roy pressed U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday about whether his department has rescinded its directive to have the FBI investigate alleged threats against school personnel by looking into parents who protest at local school board meetings.
Roy's questions about the department's handling of the parental rights movement on Wednesday began with reminding Garland about Smith's case. "Sent a memo to address violence and threats of violence in connection with school personnel —"the attorney general responded."Not directed at schools. Directed at school personnel, school administrators," Garland clarified the directive.
Roy interrupted Garland to point out the timing of the directive was following a letter on Sept. 29, 2021, from the National School Boards Association to President Joe Biden about"specific threats" and"one of the examples was Scott Smith."
