"We're talking about parents that go to school board meetings for the schools that they pay for with their taxes and having the temerity to question the curriculum ... they’re flagged by the Department of Justice and the FBI for attending a meeting." — U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa.False. Claim echoes misleading statements about a 2021 Justice Department memo directing federal law enforcement to hold meetings nationwide about criminal threats against school officials.
Perry did not say he wouldn’t serve on such a panel and suggested that federal officials have overreached their power.PolitiFact is a fact-checking project to help you sort out fact from fiction in politics.

On Oct. 4, 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a five-paragraph memo to the FBI and federal prosecutors acknowledging a"disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence" against school officials. Garland directed the FBI to hold meetings across the country and bring together government leaders to discuss strategies to address those threats.
The memo led to misinformation such as the debunked claim that parents who"challenge school curriculums" were being labeled"domestic terrorists." It’s possible Perry’s claim is based on a letter Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote to Garland in November 2021.
