Supreme Court rejects case about DOJ investigating parents who protest at school boards
Source: USA Today
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court refused on Monday to hear a case from parents in Virginia and Michigan who argued the Justice Department targeted them for protesting at school board meetings.
At the heart of the dispute was a 2021 memo Attorney General Merrick Garland aimed at combatting “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff.” The memo setting up meetings with state and local law enforcement agencies sought to “discourage these threats, identify them when they occur and prosecute them when appropriate.”
Some parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, and Saline, Michigan, challenged the policy in federal court by arguing it targeted them for protesting school policies under their First Amendment rights. But judges on the District and Circuit Courts rejected their arguments.
Now the Supreme Court has refused to hear the case.

A guess they're throwing us a bone after totally fucking up the Texas Abortion case. Got it. 
Like a blind pig finding a truffle once in a while, the SCOTUS is still capable of getting it right on occasion!
Excuse me, parents, but there is a major difference between protesting and harassment, intimidation, threats, and attempted violence.
Maybe they were not aware of this distinction?
