In February, House Republicans subpoenaed officials including Garland, questioning such efforts to support school board members, in attempts to cast doubt on the school board letter and their concerns in the first place.Īnd now, Republicans are lining up behind a bill that broadly mandates educators and policymakers to “respect the First Amendment rights of parents as well as their right to assemble.” In hiding behind amorphous constitutional language, Republicans are signing off on, and encouraging, threats against school staff and escalating an attack on the freedom of teachers to teach and students to learn without being policed by outside interests.Ĭarlson and his colleagues are fully aware that they are spreading conspiracy theories and false information about the 2020 election and January 6.

These are already more-or-less standard practices for schools across the country, but in combining these demands with others that are more radical, the bill’s proponents push an agenda that escalates an already ongoing assault on teachers and students.

Other parts of the Bill of Rights seem to fearmonger and imply that parents are never listened to in schools. ![]() READ: Colorado Supreme Court ruling barring Trump from ballot under 14th.

The argument for such a unilateral move is based on a phrase in the amendment that the public debt “shall not be questioned.” “It refers to the Civil War that we had just fought and paying those war debts off.”īiden said earlier Sunday that he was looking at “whether or not we have the authority” to use the 14th Amendment, after debt ceiling negotiations with Republicans broke down the day before. “That’s a provision that was put in place to say that we’re going to pay our Civil War debts,” he added.
