You've probably heard of the school board association writing to Pres. Gropey whining and screaming

to turn the feds loose on parents who cause problems("No I do NOT agree with you teaching my kids this crap!") at board meetings, and that shithead Garland making his big announcement.

I'd wondered at how fast this happened, just a couple of days or so between letter and announcement, and lo and behold!, it was almost certainly a setup.
Multiple Legal Insurrection readers sent me a link to a letter that details a series of meetings and contacts showing the NSBA letter to DOJ was a set-up, a pre-arranged pretext to carry out an agenda to silence the growing parent protest movement.

• Key Biden Administration stakeholders, including the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and others, have combined to oppress, threaten, and intimidate parents to chill and prevent them from exercising the rights or privileges secured by the Constitution.5 To date these efforts, though extensive, have generally proven ineffectual.

• In early September, Biden Administration stakeholders held discussionsregarding avenues for potential federal action against parents with a key Biden Domestic Policy Council official (Jane Doe #1) and White House staff (John Doe #1). Stakeholders also held discussions with senior department officials, including at least one political appointee in the department’s Civil Rights Division (Jane Doe #2). Jane Doe #1, John Doe #1, and others in the White House separately expressed concern regarding the potential partisan political impact of parent mobilization and organization around school issuesin the upcoming midterm elections.

• Upon information and belief, at the express direction of or with the express consent of Jane Doe #1, Jane Doe #2 and other Biden Administration officials developed a plan to use a letter from an outside group (“not the usual suspects”) as pretext for federal action to chill, deter, and discourage parents from exercising their constitutional rights and privileges.

• Upon information and belief, in or about mid-September work began on development of what became the Attorney General’s Memorandum. Concerns expressed by department staff included (1) the absence of federal law enforcement nexus and authority, and (2) the constitutionally protected natureof parent protests. However, Jane Doe #2 made it clear this was a White House priority and a deliverable would be created.

• On October 5, there was a follow up call involving, inter alia, the White House Counsel’s Office, Jane Doe # 2, and many other Biden Administration political and career officials. The briefing included how to talk about “equity” initiatives, avoid liability for violating discrimination laws, and hide “equity” measures, initiatives, and action from Freedom of Information Act disclosure.
Teachers unions and these school board clowns and leftists, oh my.  Does anyone really doubt that this is the kind of thing they'd do when they run into a problem?

This is the kind of thing they do when they're worried, or flat-out scared.  The board clowns can't go to the local PD or SO and say "Arrest these people for disturbing the meeting!" when it's an open meeting and you don't want anyone to say anything contrary to what you're pushing.  Especially since there are local cops there and if there'd been actual threats or assaults they'd have already arrested someone.  So what to do.... Hey, let's get the feds involved to scare people into shutting up!

Except that's REALLY pissed a lot of people off, some more than already were and others new pissed-off people.  Which hopefully will backfire bigtime.  And if the LI guy is correct and the people with the suit have inside sources, this'll get really interesting.
