A Tennessee father was hauled off to jail after he insisted on taking his son home from school on time, rather than waiting for another half an hour under a recently implemented school rule.
Jim Howe, father of two children enrolled in South Cumberland Elementary in Crossville, Tennessee, arrived at the school on foot at dismissal time: 2:00 PM. But a new school policy states that students may only leave at 2:00 PM if their parents are picking them up in cars. Walkers must wait until 2:35 PM.
Howe maintained that the policy was meant to apply to students walking home by themselves, not students walking home with their parents.

A nation grows outraged... this is a good thing. The old boy has a helluva belly no?
3 cheers for video and the Internet.
*Hows about if they Tumble? Cartwheel? Leap-Frog?
Bicycle?*
Pogo-stickes, hovercrafters, Astral projectors?
So kids are not trusted to walk home by themselves anymore?
How will they tell their grandkids that they didn’t walk 5 miles to school every day? uphill both ways, in the snow on the way in and blistering sun on the way back.
“Sun so hot, I froze to death!”
Amen!
If Jim Howe has a dog, he’s lucky that didn’t take it along.
~~~Walkers must wait until 2:35 PM.~~~ What time do Crawlers get to leave? Hows about if they Tumble? Cartwheel? Leap-Frog? Bicycle?

Unfortunately for us, proceeds from a lawsuit are paid by you and me. Now if it came out of their union pension fund...
If this is what it takes to wake people up to controlling, reckless government and their hired government enforcers, it’s worth it.
I suggest all watch the video at the link.
I agree.
A travesty.
It must be disheartening to see the degradation that seems to be permeating law enforcement. Once the staunchest supporters of law and order, conservatives, now a growing culture of bad enforcement, poor decision making and an overreach of power. This was ushered in by the same PC rot that has now metastasized in our once beloved military. It used to be good cops outnumbered the bad ones by a wide margin and we all knew it. I hope your department is in good working order. If so, it won’t stay that way. Maybe you can opt for early retirement and leave it all behind.
TENNESSEE CONSTITUTION - ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
§ 1. Powers of people
That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.
§ 2. Doctrine of non-resistance
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
The pension fund might be a good place to hit as it would motivate the ruling class to better police themselves.
Yep..
Exactly so..0vomit’s future Janissaries, if he and his minions get their way!
