The prinicipal would not submit himself to the law as the parent demanded. Technically, trespassing is what got him arrested. But make no mistake the man was arrested for not submitting to school authority.
There is allegedly more to this than is in the article. Here are other pieces of information I have heard:
1. Dave was on the anti-bias committee at the school. They did this behind his back and announced it to the committee after it was a done deal.
2. The leader of the committee is a lesbian mom...can you "agenda"?
3. Dave has been pursuing this issue "legally" for some time with no resolution.
I admire him for taking it all the way to jail.
Be good idea to follow this one for a few more weeks.
