Texas School District Unleashes Armed Agents to Round Up Concerned Parents in Their Own Homes
Welcome to Round Rock, Texas, where the Round Rock Independent School District decided that its police department — designed to handle on-campus issues — should go out into the city and arrest a couple of men who confronted the school board, according to the City Journal, a publication of the conservative Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.
In an August school board meeting Jeremy Story, a minister, produced what he said was evidence the Round Rock school superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, had assaulted a mistress, City Journal reported. Azaiez cut Story off in mid-sentence and had police remove him from the room.
In September, Dustin Clark, a retired Army captain, and other parents objected to being locked out of a school board meeting and unable to speak on the district’s mask mandate. There was also a tax issue, according to Chronicles, a magazine published by the Rockford Institute, a conservative think tank based in Rockford, Illinois.
But Board President Amy Weir responded by ordering police to remove Clark.
But it didn’t end there. A few days later, the school board sent its police to the homes of Story and Clark to arrest them on charges of disorderly conduct and disruption of a meeting.
They spent a night in jail, with supporters holding an all-night vigil outside.
Merrick Garland’s DOJ policy in action!!
