Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, led by Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, are asking many detailed questions concerning the federal targeting of parents who voice their opinions at local school board meetings.

The extensive details being sought from Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Education Michael Cardona could result in a minority report on the issue during the 2022 midterm congressional election, as well as lay the groundwork for a much deeper probe in 2023 if the GOP regains control of the Senate.
