After AG Garland war on parents memo, school boards ‘limiting public comment’, banning parents says Free Speech Attorney

Southeastern Legal Foundation Chief Counsel Kimberly Hermann discusses the lawsuit she filed against Missouri School Board Association for lack of transparency. This comes after reports of increased silencing of parents following the controversial memo sent by Attorney General Merrick Garland ordering “the FBI to take action against parents who wanted to speak up at school board meetings, who were advocating for their children, all the way to really even labeling them as domestic terrorists.” Since then school boards across the United States have begun “limiting public comment”, in ways like “cutting off parents mics”, “limiting the number of times that parents can come before the school board”, “closing the doors, and they are even banning parents from speaking at these meetings”.
