Another School Board Tries to Arrest Dissenting Parents

[excalibur]

This is what the leftoids have and are creating. They loathe the First Amendment when anyone says anything they do not like, when anyone shows them for what they are.

It is Maoism at work.

The most recent installment in the ongoing saga of school administrators antagonizing parents comes from Chris Rufo’s latest article for City Journal, outlining the shocking story of local authorities in Round Rock, Texas, coming after two fathers for their vocal critiques of the school board:

The latest and most egregious example comes from Round Rock, Texas. In a series of school board meetings this fall, two fathers—a minister named Jeremy Story and a retired Army captain named Dustin Clark—spoke out against alleged corruption and school officials’ hostility toward parents. Journalist Pedro Gonzalez reported that at an August meeting, Story had calmly “produced evidence that the board had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, against a mistress.” The superintendent and school board president cut him off midsentence and ordered officers to remove him from the premises.
At the next meeting, in September, with the district’s controversial mask mandate on the agenda, the school board locked the majority of parents out of the room, preventing them from speaking. Clark and other frustrated parents asked the board to open the nearly empty room to the public. Instead, school board president Amy Weir directed officers to remove Clark from school property. As he was dragged out by two officers, Clark shouted to the audience: “It’s an open meeting! Shame on you. Communist! Communist! Let the public in!”
A few days later, the school district, in coordination with law enforcement, sent police officers to the homes of both men, arrested them, and put them in jail on charges of “disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting.” Families and supporters of Story and Clark held an all-night protest outside the jail, until the men were released the following morning. They are now raising funds for their legal defense.

These stories are no longer isolated incidents. As Rufo points out, “In Loudoun County, Virginia, for example, where parents have protested against critical race theory and a sexual assault cover-up, the superintendent asked the county sheriff to deploy a SWAT team, riot control unit, and undercover agents to monitor parents at school board meetings.” (The sheriff thankfully refused.) And “even the FBI, under the direction of Attorney General Merrick Garland, has mobilized to monitor parents at school board meetings and, if necessary, prosecute them under domestic terrorism laws. The National School Boards Association, which had requested the federal intervention in a letter to the Justice Department, was later forced to apologize after state chapters strenuously objected to the tone and content of that letter. Yet the Biden administration has moved forward with the effort, creating a task force of federal agents and attorneys to coordinate against parent protesters.”

Progressive bureaucrats nationwide are attempting to force parents into submission. As Story tells Rufo, “This isn’t just about Dustin [Clark] and me. It is about everyone. If they can come for us and get away with it, school boards nationwide will be emboldened to come for you.” It’s up to conservatives to work to stop it.

They disrupted the meeting and were arrested. Another win for the good guys.

They were asked to maintain decorum; they refused; were ejected and then arrested.

As it should have happened.

So, keeping people out, then a parent addressing that, which progs don’t like results in arrest? That’s how it’s supposed to be in your world? Fascist!

Yeah that news report did nothing to clear anything up. No need for them to be arrested beyond being escorted from the meeting. It's political, that's it.

On the good news front. These Leftist overreactions just go to show how very, very afraid they are that they are losing control.

They are absolutely right, for once. The entire thing is crumbling beneath their feet. When you build your platform on lies and deception, this happens easily. "Slowly," as they say "Then all at once"

People who break the law should be arrested...right?

 

[SweetSue92]

Right so if you drive five MPH over the speed limit, that's it, arrest for you. Jaywalk, arrested. Etc.

I've read some dumb things here. This one is right up there.

 

[SmokeALib]

People who break the law should be arrested...right?

A discussion at a school board meeting is breaking the law? Perhaps your stupid ass should be arrested for starting this thread.

 

[MisterBeale]

So nice that candycorn supports abuse of pregnant women and suppression of free speech.



Shit, if that is the "good guys," I sure as hell would hate to see what bad buys look like.

[MisterBeale]

Wow. . . importing globalist superintendent carpet bagging politicians to control localities. . . what a sinister way to control local politics for the global elites.

 

[MisterBeale]

People who break the law should be arrested...right?

Agreed. Arrest the superintendent.

 

[22lcidw]

Yeah...sure...as soon as you guys start shooting.... yeah..okay....

Shooting may or may not occur. But that really does not have to happen. The end result is not good for the nation. We have become like other nations. Shooting is one way. A blood bath by a strong government is the most likely way though. European nations have had endless political wars on its soil. Most other nations also. Its our turn at some point.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

People who break the law should be arrested...right?

Not if they are white, right wing, conservatives.
