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.
However, Small began speaking out against the district’s use of Common Core, prompting a security guard, who was also a police officer, to approach him and order him to leave. “Let’s go!” he said sternly. Maryland Parent Manhandled, Arrested While Speaking Out Against Common Core at Public Forum

When Small didn’t immediately comply, the officer began pulling his arm and pushing him towards the exit. Some audience members gasped at the cop’s use of force.
“Don’t stand for this,” the father said as he was dragged out. “You are sitting here like cattle! Is this America?”
I’ve seen this type of cop/security guard behavior at small town council meetings. It needs to stop.
Common core = core of communism.
Can’t properly propagandize without it!
He forgot to add ten and two and get eleven.
Common Core says it’s not getting the correct answer that counts, it’s the way you arrive at it.
Of course, Maryland is a bunch of Dimocrats anyway.
“Common core = core of communism. Can’t properly propagandize without it!”
We need to get rid of the federal department of education. It has a huge budget and no students. It is only for propaganda. If conservatives retake the government is should be one of the first targets.
Just who the hell is he to try to speak and challange his betters??
“Down, dog—and kennel”.
For Mr Small - private school.
You’ll feel much better.
Wouldn’t want to have anybody disagree with the communists now would we we.
This too shall be fixed in the coming CW2
30 years ago, we were all bellyaching that we wanted “Law and Order”, and “Criminals Locked Up”. In doing so enabled the new police state, with a communist at the helm.

Or not
Public schools are a lost cause... just a conditioning pen for the sheep.

An education degree marks one as better than no one.
Nobody arrested here

Oh I forgot. Illegals have more rights than American citizens
Imagine, if you will, a scenario where a White security officer manhandled a Black parent...
It would be even better for him and his family if he can leave the people’s republik of MD. Move to Texas. Or another, more desirable state. Just don’t move to most very large metro areas unless you are way on the fringe of it and are seperately governed. A medium sized town in a generally conservative area is the ticket.
Yes. Now sit down and shut up!
Did you really think there’s “freedom of speech” in the USA? There isn’t any and hasn’t been for a few years.
You lose you job for expressing your opinion. You go to jail. You get an unpleasant visit.
