EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Marsha Blackburn Calls for Attorney General’s Ouster for Targeting Parents

Plus: Left Thinks It Should Be in Charge of Education, Not Parents October 30 2021 Good morning from Washington, where outrage simmers over Attorney General Merrick Garland’s use of the FBI to threaten parents who disagree with their school boards. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, in an interview with our Mary Margaret Olohan, demands Garland’s removal. The left thinks it knows best about teaching our children, Jarrett Stepman writes. Plus: a Virginia university goes insane over a scholar’s dislike for a bisexual Superman; what to look for in Biden’s trip to the climate summit; and how to do much better by our veterans. On this date in 1938, a realistic radio dramatization of “The War of the Worlds,” about a Martian invasion of Earth, panics some listeners who tune in late. Careful now: Tomorrow is Halloween.
