Citizens fed-up with PBC School Board members acting like petty tyrants; consider yourselves warned

All over the United States, elected officials are acting like petty tyrants and abusing the citizens they serve. The Palm Beach County School board is one of the worst.

Last week, PBCSD chair Frank Barbieri had parent Everett Cooper forcibly removed from a public meeting and arrested for the horrific crime of standing in the back of the room.

“My name is Everett Cooper. I am being arrested for standing in the back of the room,” he pronounced as police took him away.

They aren't acting - it's for real...

A “school board” can have people “arrested!” Is this fr’kn Stalinism???

Maybe he should have taken a knee instead of standing.

Unless he or other parents plan on running for the school board, there is no ‘fight’ here. Maybe Mr Furnari could event run instead of writing click-bait headlines.

WHAT IF THEY GAVE A SCHOOL AND NOBODY CAME ?

Someone should have educated him on his 2nd Amendment rights and why they exist.

Thanks for posting.

Those including Legislatures in the Education equation that includes everything from teachers to the Governor and everything in between for all fifty States should get a gold star for perception.

Legislatures are just as big a part of the problem as rubber stamp complicit and neutered School Boards. Two points in relation to the SD incident. Legislative Committees are one way good legislation gets canned without much fuss. After all the Bill got a hearing and was voted on and the vote was overwhelmingly nay or yea as needed.

Necessary legislation can be passed much easier without the appropriate penalty attached. There is a ton of criminal Statutes with weak penalties. In the case of Representative Peterson’s Bill, Tri-Valley School District was being asked to cleanup it’s act with appropriate penalties attached. Well, we can’t have that it will cost the School District, so they provided their best and brightest to testify against the Bill. “Opponents testifying included school groups and a mother of a Tri-Valley student”.

Shazam dead on arrival, after all a simple apology is all that was needed. All that may in reality be true, to various sides of an issue. Law isn’t the answer to all of our problems. There aren’t many in the smaller government camp who will disagree with the fact we already have far too much law on the books. In this particular case, the problem was out in the open the liberal Legislature in the form of the fifteen members of the judiciary took action, they deemed appropriate. End of story till the next time.

EXCELLENT reply.

We needed the advice and reminder.

Around here, the school faked kids having a disability (the whole class) to get more money. They don’t care about the students. People should take their kids out of these prisons. When they start losing all that money per student, they’ll have to start firing teachers.
