As parents protest across the country against school mask mandates and dangerous political ideologies like Critical Race Theory being taught to their children, the liberal media has been out to demonize these concerned parents as menaces to society. 

Such was the case Friday morning, as CNN invited the president of the National School Boards Association on to stoke fear against parent protesters, or as CNN called them, “angry mobs.” (Yes, this is the same network that refused to use that word or “riot” during violent left-wing riots last Summer.)

The complete dramatic chyron read on screen, “Intense Threat: Schools Beg Biden for FBI Protection Against Angry Mobs.” Angry parents probably just didn’t sound scary enough.

NSBA President Viola Garcia was on the program after she wrote a letter to President Biden yesterday demanding that the feds treat parent protesters as “domestic terrorists.” New Day host Brianna Keilar was very sympathetic to Garcia, even doing her a favor by hiding that gross part about calling parents “terrorists” from the interview.

“COVID concerns in school districts across the country are now leading to dangerous situations for school board members. They're worried for their own safety. After an increasing number of threats like these,” Keilar started the interview, playing a montage of angry parents mostly at school board meetings and protests chanting. 

Turning to Garcia, Keilar implored, “You wrote a letter to President Biden because you say you are under immediate threat, for federal enforcement and other assistance to deal with some of what we just saw. Tell us what exactly you think your members need.”

After Garcia warned of the “threat” school boards were under, which she said warranted federal intervention, Keilar was eager to know what kind of threats "school boards and members are experiencing." 

Garcia admitted what you saw in the videos at school board meetings is where the main conflicts arose, before suggesting that school board members were being threatened outside the school environment. “And so school board members are people in the community. They go to the grocery stores, they shop with the neighbors that are around them,” she began before the CNN host interrupted, eagerly.

“Are they being threatened, you know, when they're grocery shopping? Do they have people coming to their houses? Are there threats against their children?” Keilar asked eagerly. But even Garcia admitted, that wasn’t the case, saying the real threat was...online.

“The greatest incidents of threats we have seen are the ones that you demonstrated, the ones via internet connections, across state lines,” she said. 

Garcia went on to claim there was coordinated efforts of violence planned online and so she was concerned for students, workers and teachers’ safety. The CNN host didn’t question any of it. After all, why would she? To CNN, concerned parents are the bogeyman. 

“Well, Viola, those videos we see are incredibly scary. We know this is increasing and we'll keep an eye on it,” she reassured her.

Keeping an eye on angry parents but definitely not on Antifa’s domestic terrorism. This is CNN.
