No matter which dictionary you use, thatâs 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 â 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 âSchool Employees: Protectionâ act, expands an existing law âwhich makes it a misdemeanor for any âpersonâ to threaten or harass a school employee during the âcourse of [their] duties,'â according to the California Globe.
This expansion adds a penalty for creating a âsubstantial disorderâ at any meeting of a public school board, charter school board, county board of education, and the California State Board of Education.
Although âsubstantial disorderâ is not precisely defined, the bill notes that âcourse of conductâ is âa pattern of conduct composed of two or more acts over a period of time, however short ⌠evidencing a continuity of purpose.â
Gone from the definition of âharassmentâ is âunlawful violenceâ and âcredible threat of violence,â and in its place is âtorments, or terrorizes.â
Itâs not difficult to figure out whatâs happening here. A concerned parent at a school board meeting asks a board member a question and reiterates it (thereby establishing a âcourse of conductâ) ⌠and if the board member feels âtormentedâ the parent can be arrested and charged with a fine between $500 and $1,000 and face up to a year in jail.
