Parents could be arrested for walking their kids to school
MSN News ^ | Apr 6, 2016 | Claire Gillespie

Bear Branch Elementary School in Magnolia, Texas, is losing students — and it has nothing to do with the standard of teaching. The school principal, Holly Ray, has decided that parents who walk on school grounds are trespassing, meaning anyone who walks their kids to and from school could, effectively, be arrested. Wow. Way to make parents feel welcome, right?

People who come here illegally and deal drugs and commit other crime are not arrested.

People in government who commit treason and compromise national security are not arrested.

People who shut down political events, threaten people and commit vandalism are not arrested.

Parents who walk their kids to school are threatened with arrest.

We lose this election, it’s over. And that’s not dramatics.

At least a peaceful solution to the insanity is over if we lose.

We best not wait too long because before you know it, you CAN’T speak out without going to a special place the government has just for you.

One step closer to Nazism. Arrest parents who walk their children to school but don’t touch those bastards out in the streets looting and protesting. It’s time for the people in this country to man up and smell the coffee. It’s almost too late.

The school district responded to our request for comment with a statement fully supporting Principal Ray, saying the goal is a safe dismissal process.

I know that here in NH my property taxes pay for that school. In essence, it’s my property too. I think if someone took this to court the principal would be fired.

Anarcho-tyranny. Look it up, tell me this isn’t a textbook example.

I wonder what sort of deviant, abusive acts this principal is committing against the children and is trying to hide with her no parents policy.

Don’t forget people who burned down entire city blocks in the riots last year. The only people arrested were probably people trying to protect their property.

Nope. Stay and fight. Retreating to the home isn’t going to stop these nazis. This insanity needs to be fought.

You may “save” your children in the short run, but the schools are gonna indoctrinate and pump out mindless zombies who will far outnumber your kids out at the ballot box.

Stay and fight!

Anarcho-tyranny is a paleoconservative concept used in critiquing modern “social democracy.” Samuel Francis argued that the problems of managerial state extend to issues of crime and justice. In 1992, he introduced the word “anarcho-tyranny” into the paleocon vocabulary.He once defined it this way: “we refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).”

In one of his last essays, he explained the concept:

What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through “sensitivity training” and multiculturalist curricula, “hate crime” laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.

Francis argues that this situation extends across the U.S. and Europe. While the government functions normally, violent crime remains a constant, creating a climate of fear (anarchy). He says that “laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals” routinely go unenforced, even though the state is “perfectly capable” of doing so. While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens. In fact, Middle America winds up on the receiving end of both anarchy and tyranny.

The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites … or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and “pathological” elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms—people who do not like to pay taxes, wear seat belts, or deliver their children to the mind-bending therapists who run the public schools; or the people who own and keep firearms, display or even wear the Confederate flag, put up Christmas trees, spank their children, and quote the Constitution or the Bible—not to mention dissident political figures who actually run for office and try to do something about mass immigration by Third World populations.

Francis argued that anarcho-tyranny is built into the managerial system and cannot be solved simply by fighting corruption or voting out incumbents. In fact, he says that the system generates a false “conservatism” that encourages people to act passively in the face of perpetual revolution. He concludes that only by devolving power back toward law-abiding citizens can sanity be restored.

How can a member of the public trespass on land owned by the public?

Nothing new here...it’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL.

If people don’t like the fact that they answer to the people who pay them, which is THE GOVERNMENT, then perhaps they should stop blindly supporting them.

...but they won’t. They’ll, once again, think it’s just some rouge person and not the system.

If people really cared, they would show up at the next school board meeting. Either the policy is adjusted and the principal replaced, or the school board is recalled, or forced to resign and is replaced. Nothing a bureaucrat hates worse than to lose a tax funded cash flow for doing nothing.

Stay calm everyone. As a spouse of a teacher I can tell you these articles are routinely one-sided. This policy is most likely the result of a few parents that are abusing the system. Probably they are randomly walking into classrooms not checking in acting like they own the school. My experience is a few parents have f***** it up for everyone.

“This policy is most likely the result of a few parents that are abusing the system. Probably they are randomly walking into classrooms not checking in acting like they own the school.”

From the article:

“the new policy, which is being enforced by Montgomery County Constables and has resulted in several parents being threatened with arrest if they set foot on school property, students must now get the bus home from school or find their parents in a long car-pickup line.”
