Hostile school board meetings have members calling it quits
The Washington Times ^ | August 29, 2021 | Carolyn Thompson

A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment. In Virginia, a board member resigned over what she saw as politics driving decisions on masks. The vitriol at board meetings in Wisconsin had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed....

“There is starting to be an inherent distrust for school boards, that there’s some notion that we are out to indoctrinate children or to undermine parents or things like that, when we are on the same team,”

We aren’t on the same team.

School Boards are not on the same team as parents. They are owned, lock, stock and barrel by the NEA and are there to further the interests of the unions and not teaching our children.

They are fully onboard with the precepts of Communism and are now allowing the full-blown Communist organization, Red For Ed, to dictate their agendas.

When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.

When the government fears the people, you have Liberty.

Guess the school boards are finding out that you can only mess with people for so long… Before they start messing back.

And when you mess with peoples children, you open yourself up to a world of crap.

This is good news. We must eliminate public schools and allow for school choice.

“There is starting to be an inherent distrust for school boards, that there’s some notion that we are out to indoctrinate children or to undermine parents or things like that, when we are on the same team,”
.......................................................
The “inherent distrust” is the result of what parents are learning everyday about the arrogance and deceitfulness of schoolboard members all across the country, and the intentional misrepresentation of America, its history, and its people. Parents understand very clearly that you people are NOT performing your duties in the interest of parents or of the America that they have loved, fought for, and died for ever since its founding. The vast majority of teachers today have been indoctrinated by the leftists in this country and by their filthy union overlords who don’t give a damn about the welfare of our children or their country. You and your ilk are despicable and unworthy any respect whatsoever.

The teachers will have a lot of fun with the low-IQ illiterate children that are streaming in.

Do you think the Muslim parents want their kids to be judged as black or as white supremacists? Arabs are Caucasian, after all.

I’m sure Snopes would find that Lincoln quote to be factual.

“had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed....”

This is not crystal clear, but the implication is that he’s wetting his pants over things he is imagining.

Note that the parents standing up to school boards have actually kept their children in public schools. It’s safe to assume that parents who home school or pay for private schools, place even less trust in current school boards, school administrators, and half the teachers. (As with anything, no doubt there are some good people trying hard in all those roles.)

We’re recalling four school board members here in Fargo over CRT and mask mandates. I’ve never seen this before.
