If You Question Their Narrative You Are an Enemy of the (Deep) State

Catherine Herridge, et al  at Public bring us the following. NEW: Biden Administration Labeled Opponents Of Covid Mandates As “Domestic Violent Extremists,” Newly Released Documents Show

The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public and Catherine Herridge Reports. The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation, said a former FBI agent.

How Dare You question their decisions. How dare you not obey. Shut up and do what you're told, peasant.

The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”

The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.“

So anyone who wasn't a leftist drone, in other words.

High School Student Sues Teacher/District on 1st Amendment Grounds

This is delicious. Iowa student sues over 2A t-shirt suspension. Note: I have not watched the video at that link.

An Iowa high schooler has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that her school district and a civics teacher violated her First Amendment rights by suspending her for wearing a pro-Second Amendment t-shirt to class; a case that could one day have far-reaching implications for students across the country.

In the complaint, which is the topic of today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, the student (identified by her initials A.B.) alleges that just two days after discussing students’ rights to free speech in class, teacher Thomas Griffin “removed her from class and suspended her” for wearing a t-shirt promoting the Second Amendment, claiming it was “inappropriate”.

The teacher said HE would determine what speech was allowed. Click thru for an image of the shirt in question. (Hat tip to The DaleyGator)

School Bans "Jesus Loves Me" Face Mask

Because they hate religion, more than just about anything. Mississippi family sues school in 'Jesus Loves Me' mask ban

Their lawsuit accuses the Simpson County School District of discriminating against the third grader because she wants to express her religious beliefs. The district requires students to wear face masks to try to reduce the spread of COVID-19. [SNIP]

The lawsuit says the Simpson County School District's mask policy originally did not prohibit religious messages but that the policy was changed after a teacher and an administrator told L.B. she could not wear the "Jesus Loves Me" mask.

Because they overlooked the possibility that someone would be RELIGIOUS. So as soon as they tripped over a religious statement that they didn't approve of, they changed the policy. Bet's on what action they would have taken over a Wiccan or Islamic religious mask?
