Pam Bondi’s predecessor, Merrick Garland, oversaw the targeting of parents who objected to sexualized and racialized curriculum
The targeting of parents, pro-lifers, and Latin Mass attendees “will stop” and “must stop” according to attorney general nominee Pam Bondi.
The former Florida attorney general is testifying today in the first of two hearings on her nomination to lead the Department of Justice. Under Attorney General Merrick Garland, law enforcement targeted concerned parents and citizens who objected to sexual and racial identity politics in the classroom.
The FBI office in Richmond, Va. also labeled Catholics who prefer the older Latin Mass as extremists. The DOJ also came under scrutiny for perceived targeting of peaceful pro-life dads who protested outside of abortion facilities.
This “weaponization,” “will stop” according to Bondi. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked Bondi for comment on the current problems at the DOJ.
“Going after parents at a school board meeting has got to stop,” Bondi said. “Sending informants into Catholic churches must stop,” she said.
Lee said Bondi’s answers were reassuring and he supports his nomination.
The DOJ collaborated with the National School Boards Association to write the memo which labeled parents and other citizens as domestic terrorists.
The memo prompted a prosecutor in Montana to dream up and circulate a list of potential federal crimes to use to go after American citizens.
The NSBA subsequently lost more than 15 members after comparing parents to terrorists.
