Heavy sigh.Feel free to correct me. The NSBA asked if the Patriot Act would apply.
The original article notes the FBI has attached a threat tag (whatever that is supposed to mean) to those who have issued threats. Seems to me someone is making the leap to that being equal to someone being prosecuted under the Patriot act.
Now I will note, If Obama or Trump had done the right thing and tossed the Patriot Act we wouldn't even be having this discussion. When you create terrible programs like this, I'm not really sure what one expects to happen.
The FBI Counter Terrorism Unit is a product of the patriot act. Using that agency to investigate parents at school board meetings is indeed using the Patriot act.
