U.S. Civil Rights Commission Members pen letter

Four members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, including Columbia's Stephen Gilchrist, have penned a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland about his Memo regarding protesting parents and domestic terrorists.

The four wrote as members of the Commission and not on behalf of the Commission. That's an important distinction, when one is a member of a recognized commission, entity, or even something like a public body (such as a school board).

See yesterday's FoxNews article with this headline:

US Commission on Civil Rights members blast AG Garland for memo on parents protesting school boards

Click on the headline to read the article. The letter to AG Garland is embedded in a link in the first paragraph of that article.

You can go directly to the letter by clicking here.

This is a powerful letter on behalf of parents who are trying to make a point with school board members. Speech, even forceful speech, is not terrorism. Parents should not have to worry about a knock on the door at midnight after they have attended a school board meeting.
