The Loudoun County sheriff’s office declared the school board meeting an unlawful assembly. Everyone told to get out or will be trespassing. Two arrests made #CriticalRaceTheory pic.twitter.com/23Cojtczvy

The Loudon County schoolboard in Virginia really, really hates democracy:
Another woman urged several board members, facing a recall effort, to resign and save taxpayers even more money. Others blasted a district official who allegedly made threatening Internet searches on a district smartphone.
Former state Sen. Dick Black, a Republican, excoriated the board over its treatment of Cross and allegations that progressive community members had organized a list of their conservative neighbors to harass and publicly shame. The chamber erupted in cheers, prompting the board to vote 9-0 to end public comment for the rest of the meeting – which led to loud chants of “Shame on you” directed at the board and demands that members resign.
The large number of conservative parents in the room began singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” as board members filed out.
At least two people were arrested as parents cut off from speaking before the board remained in the room to deliver their prepared remarks to others in the crowd. One of them refused to leave until everyone had an opportunity to speak, and deputies told him that he would be arrested for trespassing if he refused to follow their orders to vacate the room.
Go here to read the rest. This is what happens when a political faction seizes control of a political institution and decides to go to war against most of the people they purport to represent.
Democrats just keep poking the bear.
I pray nothing bad happens, while I can’t help but wonder if they actually hope something does.
CRT is a gift to the right.
For the left [populated with crazy people and losers] dissent is terrorism.
CRT is a racist cult.
People emigrating from dystopian, blue state hell holes took with them nearly $27 billion in gross income.
The next move is for every single one of these parents to immediately pull their kids from any of this district’s schools and find alternate means of education. That immediate and substantial threat to the school district’s finances is the only thing that will bring about any sort of accountability for the board members.
Unfortunately, removing the board members would merely be treating a symptom, since the problem would still largely be in place. That’s not to say it shouldn’t be done, but it would be merely the first step in a very long uphill battle.
That being said, I think public schools are ultimately a lost cause. Sadly, many private and even Catholic schools are just as bad, and sometimes even worse. The paradigm of outsourcing education may have worked at some point, but for the most part it doesn’t any more and likely hasn’t for a long time.

No, it’s not. The capacity of the rubbish teachers and administrators to ruin the schools is crucially dependent on the negligence of the board. This board is not negligent, but actively destructive.
The most effective thing you can do to kill off this monster is to shutter the state teachers’ college and to remove from state ordinances any measure which requires faculty hiring (or administrator hiring) be contingent on the completion of an MEd or BEd degree.

The behavior of the officials is going in the direction of Jim Jones and Jonestown, where no one is allowed to leave the Peoples Temple.
@Greg,
“..going in the direction of Jim Jones and Jonestown’…..”
– and we haven’t even discussed Climate Change yet.
An ideal situation would be a Board with minimal interference into the running’s of the school. A wish. And a good Headmaster. The Headmaster is key. Not merely an administrative figurehead. I’ve seen schools improve almost overnight simply by an installation of a good strong Headmaster (cleaning out teaching staff by performance managing them out of the role, lifting the academic performance, creating a strong relationship between parents and school, solid school protocols and policy, good curriculum). It can be done.
The Star Spangled Banner as resistance. Joe Biden says we’ll need F-15’s to resist:
