At least the Gilford School Board hasn’t gone this far – yet. If so, my entire wardrobe would be made up of orange jumpsuits. Reformatted, emphasis mine: Armed Agents in Texas School District Arrest Concerned Parents in Their Own Homes
The Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) in Texas is using its own armed agents to arrest parents who speak out against the school board’s policies, according to Christopher Rufo in the City Journal:
The battle lines are clear: on one side, the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school closures, mask mandates, critical race theory and corruption. Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use police power to silence and intimidate their opponents.
So, in trying to bring Big Flashlights to what seems to be a corrupt School Board, this subdivision of Government decided to use its innate Force to teach these parents “You shall not speak ill of us – or else!”
Strike One:
Two fathers, Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark, had spoken out against the school board’s “alleged corruption and school officials’ hostility toward parents.” In August, while “produc[ing] evidence that the board had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, against a mistress,” Story, a minister, was cut off midsentence as Azaiez ordered armed officers to remove him from the premises, according to Chronicles Magazine.
Strike Two:
We live in a very normal country where school boards can send cops to your house to arrest you and the FBI views parents as terrorists https://t.co/O3SSr2XNiP

And Strike Three:
RRISD has its own police force, Rufo said, explaining: “with a three-layer chain of command, patrol units, school resource officers, a detective, and a K-9 unit.” And only a few days after Clark’s removal from school board premises, the school district “sent police officers to the homes of both men [Story and Clark], arrested them, and put them in jail on charges of ‘disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting.’” They were released the next morning.
According to Rufo, many parents believe the school board is trying to send a message: “if you speak out against us, we will turn you into criminals.”
We worry about retaliation against our kids if we speak out. Now, are we to fear that we Parents are going to be retaliated against?
Remember, the National School Board Association called we Parents telling our school Elected Representatives off “Domestic Terrorists”. And I remind you that only ONE of my School Board member, my Elected Representatives, publicly disagreed when I directly asked if I was. I know that I can be a pain in the patootie at times (and not just to School Boards) but I’m an equal opportunity PitP as I don’t care WHO you are – only in that you’re not doing the right things at the right time. In this case, abusing your constituents as if you really are above the Law.
As I just said here, however:
This is the state of Government Schools nowadays? More and more, it seems, the answer is yes.
So Parents, are you up to the challenge of taking back your school boards? Here in NH, town meetings and elections are going to start happening in March. Do YOU know who is running for your School Boards? And do you know who is running for School Board that will stop this insanity?
The choice is yours – is it your kids over the power of the Edu-Industrial Complex and “good ‘ole boy political networks and teachers unions?
We have answers to share if it is the former that’s WAY more important to you than the latter.
