No matter which dictionary you use, thatās pure fascism by Democrats. Straight out of the Stalin handbook. Next will be thought crimes.
California is poised to codify at the state level what the feds were once requested to do ā that is, turn inquisitive parents into criminals for daring to question their school board representatives.
Senate Bill 596, introduced by Democratic State Senator Anthony Portantino in February and dubbed the āSchool Employees: Protectionā act, expands an existing law āwhich makes it a misdemeanor for any āpersonā to threaten or harass a school employee during the ācourse of [their] duties,'ā according to the California Globe.
This expansion adds a penalty for creating a āsubstantial disorderā at any meeting of a public school board, charter school board, county board of education, and the California State Board of Education.
Although āsubstantial disorderā is not precisely defined, the bill notes that ācourse of conductā is āa pattern of conduct composed of two or more acts over a period of time, however short ⦠evidencing a continuity of purpose.ā
Gone from the definition of āharassmentā is āunlawful violenceā and ācredible threat of violence,ā and in its place is ātorments, or terrorizes.ā
Itās not difficult to figure out whatās happening here. A concerned parent at a school board meeting asks a board member a question and reiterates it (thereby establishing a ācourse of conductā) ⦠and if the board member feels ātormentedā the parent can be arrested and charged with a fine between $500 and $1,000 and face up to a year in jail.
