WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi sent a memo to FBI Director Kash Patel and all 93 U.S. Attorneys entitled Upholding Constitutional Rights and Parental Authority in America's Education System.
As Attorney General Bondi notes in the memo, "recent years have seen a disturbing trend in which government officials and public education authorities have ignored, dismissed, or even retaliated against concerned parents" for daring to voice opposition to their children's curriculum. Notably, the prior administration engaged in such weaponization by targeting concerned parents at school board meetings with a threat tag reserved for potential terrorists.
Under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, parents' First Amendment rights - and their "fundamental right to direct the moral and religious education of their children" - will be protected from unlawful attacks.
Per today's memo, Attorney General Bondi has instructed U.S. Attorneys to "work with federal, state, and local partners to identify and respond to credible threats against parents or violations of their lawful rights."
