Same FBI that's about to start arresting "terrorist" parents for having the temerity to speak at school board meetings? That FBI?

Don't rely so heavily on "fact checks" - their sole raison d'etre is to provide ammo to the "official" narrative peddlers nowadays. Read the original letter.

For what it's worth, it's considered bad etiquette to substantively edit your comments without marking that you've done so. In this case, the original post consisted entirely of:

> Same FBI that's about to start arresting "terrorist" parents for having the temerity to speak at school board meetings? That FBI?

As for the new links: they're both opinion pieces, both of which are (vague) handwringing that don't support the more outrageous claim being made (that the FBI is about to "start arresting [...] parents").

The closest thing I can find to actual reporting on this says that Garland (who's DoJ, not FBI) wrote an advisory memo[1]. The memo itself is a broad announcement to multiple federal agencies notifying them to coordinate with local agencies in cases of harassment against educators. Not exactly shocking stuff.

The official memo from the DoJ isn't "looking hard enough"?

I genuinely don't know what you're referring to. You should probably provide links.

Edit: All of the recent FBI stories I can find are about a manhunt for a (presumed) murderer or about the nuclear espionage case.

Edit 2: This is the only reference I was able to find[1]. It sounds like the current governor of Florida falsely claimed that the FBI is "going after" parents. It's not clear what "going after" means, or where that came from.
