Yeah, but isn't getting arrested at this point sort of counter productive? If he disagreed with the school-board policy and the state statue, he should have started on that tack weeks or months ago, not a week before the election. Now he only looks foolish, spending time dealing with an arrest.

If he wants to fight the school-board policy and/or the state statue, getting arrested might not be the best way to start the ball rolling. Then again it might, if he doesn't mind the arrest record.

If he feels the statute or school board policy deprives him of an inalienable right, he has to be arrested so he can challenge the legitimacy of the statute in court.

Without the arrest, there has been no deprivation, so he would lack any legal standing to challenge it.

He probably would have addressed the issue earlier, but had only recieved the letter from Hardison to stop passing out fliers the week before the incident.
