At CPAC, a Florida congresswoman said the Justice Department labeled parents “terrorists” if they raised concerns about school curriculum. Federal officials investigate potential crimes, not parents raising school concerns.

departments have the authority to designate groups as terrorists; the National Terrorism Advisory System does not.

The agency uses such"threat tags" to track information and spot trends. The FBI created the EDUOFFICIALS tag to track threats directed against school officials. That’s not accurate. In a 2021 memo, Garland directed the FBI to address criminal threats against school officials. But his memo didn’t use the word"terrorist" and noted that"spirited debate" is protected by the Constitution.
