Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) introduced an amendment to the “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act” that would protect concerned parents speaking at school board meetings from becoming federal domestic terrorism targets.
The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act is a Democrat bill that “would codify the process by which the Biden administration came to investigate parents with whom it has political disagreements.”
“Last fall, parents across the United States were accused of being ‘domestic terrorists’ for speaking out against their child’s curriculum,” Green said. “My amendment would have protected parents’ ability to speak up and question harmful curriculum like Critical Race Theory and obscene reading materials in their child’s school while ensuring parents don’t become the federal government’s next target—again.”
“Nothing in this Act may be construed to authorize the investigation of a parent or legal guardian of a child for any activity, belief, or association protected by the First Amendment in connection with — (1) an event on school grounds; (2) a meeting conducted by the school; or (3) a non-violent protest in connection with a school policy,” Green’s amendment states.
The Democrat-run Rules Committee rejected the bill.
“It’s truly unbelievable that Democrat leadership couldn’t bring themselves to protect parents from senseless investigations into parents’ First Amendment activities in the best interest of their children,” Green said.
