Parent 'Manhandled', Arrested While Speaking Out Against Common Core At Meeting (Video)
youtube.com ^ | 09/20/2013 | n/a

Posted on 09/20/2013 7:15:35 PM PDT by massmike

A parent in Towson, Md., was arrested Thursday night at a public forum after vocally expressing his concerns about the Baltimore County School District's plan to use Common Core standards in its curriculum.

Robert Small, a concerned father, was forcefully removed from the meeting by a police officer after he interrupted Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance during the question-and-answer portion of the forum.

The meeting apparently didn't allow parents to stand up and ask questions or comment. Parents and other attendants were instead asked to write their questions on a piece of paper and officials would read them.

As a retired police officer (34 years) I post’m as I see’m.

Ok, that explains it. The section of the video you identified shows the law enforcement officer on the scene grabbing and pushing a citizen who, as far as can be ascertained from the video, is not prior to or at that time violating the law in any way. Given your perspective you probably can't recognize an assault perpetrated by a police officer, even when you watch it on video. I doubt the potential jurors or the public would be so blinded by their personal perspective.

That's why video recording is so important. Without it at trial the police officer would, like you, say he was attacked. And based on the charge of second degree assault, he has apparently already made a sworn statement that the attack on him was sufficient to cause personal injury to him, which seems, in the light of the video, to be untrue.

The video of course shows that the officer actually touched the citizen first, without any legitimate reason, and it appears, before he even identified himself as a police officer. And then the officer pushed the citizen, causing the citizen to lose his balance.

I would suggest that it is highly unlikely that the officer will testify under oath that he was attacked or injured by the citizen given the presence of the video recording.

I wonder how many of them have their own SWAT Teams that also are trained to do covert arrests and “renditions” of unruly subjects running wild and free out in the uncontrolled spaces?

An old sham useful to gull the rubes.

“This moron had a way to get his questions answered...”

Do you refer to slips of paper in a hat, with a few chosen by the board for answers, and other ignored?

*******
My guess is all of them - based on the amount of ammo purchased. But that’s a guess.

To in anyway state, imply, or intend us to believe or understand that his way worked is an outright lie. The story proves that. The major part of doing any battle, in war or in politics, is being smart enough to win. Doing stupid things that remove you from the battle prematurely will never bring about the resolution that you desire.

This board had already made up its mind and was going through the motions to let the peons think they actually had some role. It was a managed and manipulated event by elitists unconcerned with what anyone thinks but concerned only about bad publicity. Exposing this charade, its deceptions and heavy handedness is part of the war.

I agree - the board was using the Delphi Technique. And to add to that the same is true of those who made a scene at the TSA. Someone has to take the first step to bring the issue forward for the public to see it.

The question is what to do?
See post 29 of the other thread (analysis & suggestion)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3069473/posts?page=29#29

Here’s the suggestion:
Join the board get active in school PTA, get loud damn it, make your voice heard, lose some battles, ruffle some feathers, and become known for being THAT guy! Make them squirm when you are at council meetings. Don’t give an inch! Get involved, make it personal!

Something my neighbors and I are starting is a community after-school teaching program where Every Wednesday a volunteer parent puts a 90 minute session in place, to teach more direct skill based lessons. (I plan on teaching electrical concepts and computers) but it can be even simpler start a story book reading, but do something! It matters not your age or even abilities we all have something to teach and wisdom to share.

All we can do is push this rock up the hill, and remember what we are fighting for, never show them your Back!

So he removed himself not only from this lost battle but from the entire conflict with the total gain as maybe this has some long term impact. Sorry he would never play on my team. Rash, impulsive, reactionary, people never win in these situations. They simply appear to be idiots and cause more problems, and now he has more problems.

The what to do is the hard part. I ran for school board in NJ years ago and lost but did get the appointment to fill a vacancy. I chronicled my experience in an article I wrote several years ago. I’ll not repeat it here but simply summarize that the level of incompetence, corruption and complacency I encountered is so deep and so wide that reform is impossible.

I home schooled my youngest son. I have also tutored other children who suffered at the hands of incompetent teachers. I say home school while you can because the left must eventually target home schooling to keep their breeding stock viable.

If he had not done what he did, we would not be discussing it here because there would be no story.

What you and I say here has no bearing on this issue there. We do not vote there so for you and I it is just a discussion here. This is a local political matter that will be won or lost at their ballot box. This guy would have been much more effective running for the school board out making speeches getting his message out than sitting in jail.

I know it is a little late going to this thread, but I would like to say that I would like to be added to the libertarian ping list and for some reason my pm feature on my account is not working so I figured I would send the request to be added here.

“Terrorist Professor Bill Ayers and Obama’s Federal School Curriculum”

“...Common Core is part of an effort to implement regionalism, the replacement of local governments by regional boards of federally appointed bureaucrats, who in turn are beholden to international bodies. Regionalism will eliminate the freedom parents now have in choosing neighborhoods with good schools because tax funds will be distributed equally. There will be no escape in home schooling or private schools either, because the curriculum will follow national tests. Students will be tracked through mandatory state records that will then be accessible to Washington bureaucrats. Ultimately, all students will be subject to education mandates implemented by Obama’s radical cronies...”

Common Core Lesson Plans: A call to Jihad, Converting to Islam, 5 Pillars of Islam, submitting to the Will of Allah

5 pillars of Islam, submission to the will of Allah, A call to Jihad, Converting to Islam, what is Islam? Overview of the Koran and Sharia Law, Islam and the US; hate crimes and hope, spirit of Islam, root causes of muslim anger with the west, Muslims creating huge empire on 3 continents.

Sounds like the start of a novel or the beginning of a sci fi movie or perhaps the government uncovering a terror plot with the discovery of manuals to carry it out. No!

What you just read above are lesson plans designed by Lesson Planet for teachers in your public schools in the United States based on Common Core standards as part of the infamous Race To The Top.

Lesson Planet boasts that 400,000 teachers use their plans in their classrooms everyday.

These lesson plans are being followed and designed around Common Core guidelines inside our schools in Tennessee and in the majority of states across our country and our kids are being exposed daily to this brainwashing.

Common Core! The state led initiative to indoctrinate your child with the necessary tools to make them a “good citizen inside a global world.”

Implanted in this very devious scheme, some call nationalization of our school system, lies a Trojan horse that has many tentacles.

The obvious takeover of our schools by an overreaching government, the dumbing down of our children to the lowest denominator, the ridding of local control of our schools and boards and the easing of our nation into the hands of Islam with Sharia Compliance as the law of our land. This package is wrapped neatly inside a dominant political system while the foundations of our country are being eroded and replaced and parents think our kids are learning the 3 Rs and their ABCs in our schools both public and private. Our kids are being led down a path by our schools that opens their minds to religious beliefs that should be left up to the church and their parents choosing of the most suitable and preferred belief system for their child.

Our kids, parents, teachers, school boards and Superintendents should be yelling Danger, Stranger Danger very loudly through the halls of our schools. Instead, we hear the gentle cry from the politically correct that we should be all encompassing, tolerant and willing to learn more about “other” religions. We should at least respect them and understand where they are coming from. Right?

Take a minute and read an excerpt from one our assigned Common Core textbooks. It’s pretty easy to see the propaganda and lies to protect one religion over another.

https://attachment.fbsbx.com/file_download.php?id=632628836772053&eid=ASuVoBaDs1X8xNjUBkzZxCE4WF6ElNTfDCImD0V2huSO_y1xZGgt2p6NfXtGXhh67Ks&ext=1377003589&hash=ASvS6IdNvETimv7g

This is creeping sharia ladies and gentlemen, this is also taqiyah. The deliberate lie to gain acceptance.

This is the gentle yet massive push that the left and Islam need to complete the task of world dominance and they have found Common Core as the vehicle to do their dirty deed inside the US.

We no longer live securely in a world where we are wrapped up tight inside our own borders, devoid of any outside influence. The enemy is now within. The many faces of our enemy are now inside our own government, they are inside our schools, our country and the persuasive argument that they are also in our minds is in it’s infancy.

Look around you. Listen to the apathy as our nation is ripped to shreds by a concentrated band of evil doers dead set on destroying our country from the inside and the silence from the church and parents is deafening.

Mainstream media is an ineffective monstrosity no longer relied upon to notify it’s citizenry, churches are under attack, religious leaders are tied and silent, our schools have been successfully re routed, prayer is out and humanism is in, religion and Christianity have taken serious blows, the forefathers have been vilified and the Constitution and it’s credibility are waning, the beginnings and foundation of our country is questioned and on and on.

This is deliberate. As I believe Abraham Lincoln once said
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

The enemy has a foothold on the conscience and will of our country. The citizenry is labeled a racist, a bigot, a hater, extremist and even a terrorist if you speak up or out against this coup of our country. It has taken many years and many battles to get here. The propagated system that is in place has raised one generation of children and is working on the next.

The softening and indoctrination of this generation of gullible minds will be the finishing touch that springs us into Socialism and situated within influential positions to perfect the transition.

The left, the communists or whatever you prefer have been working for years to complete this task and will be very successful unless more Americans speak up and speak up loudly.

We are at a critical tipping point. Attempt to talk to a child that has been inside the system, ask them a geography question, how to do their time tables, who is your Congressman etc. The answers will be very shocking and proof that something is astray.

Why should we be tolerant of Common Core or Islam? Why should we tolerate indoctrination and it’s stronghold on our children and the next generation? Why should I be tolerant of a political system that wants Kafirs (you and I) dead if we don’t convert? Why should I be respectful of a society that sees you as the enemy but yet we need to make our children the tolerant and accepting ones. Why should I sit by idly as Jihad is sending many Americans home in a body bag half the man or woman they once were and bound to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives? Why must I be willing to accept and allow this “religion” where Sharia law dominates and women are less than whale dung? Why? Why does my child’s school feel it needs to be the moral compass for my child’s religious beliefs? Why am I as a parent frowned upon when I demand that my child skip the lessons where “other” religions are discussed?

America was founded on Judaeo Christian values. Our foundation is the 10 Commandments and our God, our savior, of whom millions believed died on a cross and rose again. My god is not Allah nor Muhammed our messenger. My beliefs or your failure to believe as I do will not result in a sword across the back of my neck and why should I look the other way when my child is being taught Islam and that acceptance is mandatory to be successful inside a global arena?

Why in blue blazes should my child be subjected to the negativity of “other” religions when my only goal and choice is to show them the love of Christ and not Allah. I could care less if they “understand and become tolerant” of a religion I personally disagree with as a path for which my child should follow. I do not want my child exposed to perhaps other harmful religions, there are things about “other” religions I don not want to think is the norm, to name a couple killing other for your cause and pedophilia. That should be enough, but sadly it isn’t!

Kids are confused enough as is and are trying to sort their way without the confusion of many religious influences in their young minds.

If you wanna teach Islam, Christianity or Buddhism to your child please feel free to do so. After all we live in America and part of living here is we have free choice and the liberties to do as we please inside the law of the land. My liberties are now being infringed upon because now I do not have a choice of what I want my child exposed to. Our school system has taken that right away!

Where did we go wrong when somehow we have relinquished our sovereignty and decision making capability over to a school system that is in the middle of a hostile yet willing takeover.

Backlash? I’m sure many that read this blog will go directly to the sewer and ask why are you and your staff not tolerant of other religions?

Here is an example of a lesson plan from the standard “submitting to the will of Allah” where you have replaced one God with another god.

Whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted of him, and he shall be among the losers in the hereafter. (3.85)

http://www.islamicwritings.org/spirituality/submitting-ones-will-to-allah/

This is not hardly what I want my 12 year old to learn in middle school, she is trying as others to find herself inside a world that is not always seen clearly. Why add to this confusion? Why not allow the parents to subject that same child to the religious belief they desire, free of any other influence and let the schools get back to teaching the fundamentals of being a good student.

The left has drilled the school system for years, sued, complained and fought for “no religion, bible, pledge, prayers or 10 commandments” in our schools and now they are saying we should be tolerant and accepting of “all” religions?

The same folks that wanted religion completely out of our schools are now demanding that Allah, Buddah and others be a part of our children’s curriculum.

Uh uh! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it one more time. How can you not expect a backlash by many Americans when you are doing the exact thing today that you fought to eliminate over the last 40 years, what is good for the goose is good for the gander!

You have brought the fight to us and regrettably successfully, don’t come whimpering for your religion to be accepted now that you have another agenda. It doesn’t work that way! Not in America! Our memories are not that short!

Common Core must be eliminated from our schools and the real foundations of our country reestablished and the new age foundation, the 5 pillars of Islam eliminated!
