Here you will see that the FBI counter terrorism team was spurred by that Oct 4 letter to start tracking potential threats that concerned parents posed. So no, he didn't technically call them terrorists, he just had the counter-terrorism team activated to look for terrorists.

They weren't tracking concerned parents. They were investigating threats. Unless your counterpoint is that being a parent makes you immune from scrutiny the FBI did exactly what it was supposed and did not label anybody anything unless they found a credible threat.
