E ucation ‘Is This America?’: Parent ‘Manhandled’, Arrested While Speaking Out Against Common Core at Public Forum Sep. 20, 2013 7:30pm Jason Howerton Related:

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?”
Yeah, how dare he ask non-pre-approved questions out of turn?!?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
The ‘leadership’ responsible for this mess will have to live with the consequences of their actions and deal with the broken society they've helped create, and wrecking future generations. Their social experimentation will lead to a Frankenstein society run amok. 10 years from now, if Common Core stands, it will have rotted away the brains of America's youth completing Obama’s transformation of America.
Stop Common Core now!

“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...”

Yeah, I attended a GOP candidates’ forum prior to a primary, some number of years ago, for our congressional representative. It was a real eye-opener for me. It was a very well-behaved group that could not have numbered more than 150 people, yet we were also required to write our questions.
My written question about securing the border was never used, nor was any question relating to the border. It was clearly a setup and meant to protect the seat of RINO Wayne Gilchrest. Some of the questions were so obviously planted.
I wonder who that woman is and who’s side she was on?
Can we identify this jackboot “Security Guard”?
‘Dictatorship 101: Beck’s Chilling Break-Down of What Parent Arrested After Questioning Common Core Means for America

He wasn’t merely arrested,” Beck said. “He was removed with excessive force, and today he faces 10 years in prison…Did he look at all out of control? …This is the way it used to happen in mother Russia, not America.”
Small was charged with second degree assault of a police officer, faced a $2,500 fine, and up to ten years in prison,
"Where were the teachers as he was being removed? You know, the ones who always teach about how it’s wrong to bully people?” he asked. “Did not one person have the decency to stay stop, up there on the board?”
“We have seen in the past few months teachers stand up for a colleague who raped an 8th grade student, but the teachers don’t stand up against this?” he added.
As Small was being pushed out of the room, he expressed shock at how the crowd was sitting there like “cattle,” urging them to “question these people.”
Beck agreed: “Time to get out of the herd, because you’re being led to slaughter. Perhaps people were afraid to speak because they were afraid of being dragged off by a police officer…And when nobody is there to stand up for you, it’s because you weren’t there to stand there for everybody else that was dragged off.”

It was intentional, hence the quotes. Have you noticed how many schools call themselves "excellent" or proclaim that everyone is "excellent?"
My apologies...damn my failing eyes and scuffy reading glasses. :-)
Agreed...everything connected with public education seems to be just ‘excellent’ nowadays.
Bravo! I agree.
charges dropped this morning!
Good. The growing police state held in check... at least locally and temporarily.
