It’s what we feared. Whistleblowers within the Department of Justice have reportedly confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is indeed investigating parents’ rhetoric and behavior at school board meetings as potential terrorists.
Attorney General Merrick Garland denied this in testimony before the Judiciary Committee:

Parents have been complaining about the education of their children and about school boards since there were such things as school boards and public education. This is totally protected by the First Amendment.
So, did Garland lie under oath? Did he not know it was still going on? Congress is demanding answers. Representatives Jim Jordan (OH-4) and Mike Johnson (LA-4) sent a letter to the Attorney General calling him out based on what the whistleblower reports revealed:
