I'm not familiar with this.
Parents complained about mask mandates and critical race theory being forced on kids and protested at school meetings.
School officials and organizations asked the feds to throw their weight around to scare off the parents
The DoJ released a letter threatening to treat parents as domestic terrorists and all the implicit powers they can leverage in the name of counterterrorism.
Representatives in the federal government demanded the DoJ testify about their threats to parents.
The DoJ officials deflected and tried to cherry pick examples of parents threatening school boards in order to justify the comparison to terrorists.
A specific example given by the DoJ was a father in Loudon county who was on video trying to assault school officials and restrained by guards before he was arrested and convicted of disorderly conduct.
That made this one specific example come into a more national spotlight, and the story behind it started to trend.
It turned out it had nothing to do with mask mandates or critical race theory, and instead it was a father who had found out his young daughter had been forcibly raped at school by an older boy.
The boy was a transgender MTF who pulled her into a bathroom and raped her, and when she reported the incident to school officials, they reacted by
covering it up.
They made no official incident report and didn't tell police, and instead justified the cover-up on the basis of the anti-policing / restorative justice non-punishment...
...a well as believing a public report would influence the ongoing debate over the transgender-bathroom bill. They knew a story of a transgender MTF raping a young girl in a bathroom would be politically charged.
The result was that transgender MTF was sent to a different school without any reports. Where he then
raped another girl in the same manner.
When the understandably irate father approached the school board demanding answers, the school officials declared to his face that there was no such incident and it never took place, because there was no report of it.
The same school official also had emails recovered from his computer showing he was aware of it and personally directed the coverup. But he still called the father a liar, to his face.
Which led to the exchange seen on the video, which the DoJ then cited as reason to treat parents as domestic terrorists.
Someone correct me if I got any details wrong
