TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Now they've upped the ante. They can throw you in jail if you point out that what they're doing is hurting your children. By that standard, we're in trouble. A whole lot more conduct is about to become criminal in the eyes of the Department of Justice. Remember all those parents from school board meetings this summer? Presumably, Merrick Garland is going to investigate them too.
...
Now, for a lot of parents, the answer is going to be really simple in coming years. Pull away, leave, homeschool, start your own school. Parents won't put up with this, it's their children who are being hurt by it. On the other hand, you've got to ask yourself why let the lunatics take control of the system they didn't build? It's not theirs, they don't get to wreck it.
Maybe we should stay and fight and take back the schools which belong to us, they're ours. They don't belong to the teachers union or the National Association of School Boards, much less Merrick Garland, whoever that is. They belong to us, American citizens.
Now, the backdrop to all of this is the people you just saw are now designated as criminals by the Biden administration, by the Department of Justice, so-called.
