Will the little fascists be asking the FBI to investigate the woman?
Hopefully if they do, the agents will be from Hannity's 99%

Exodus! Yes, that is the answer.

It is the “transitioning” to a non-biologic sex that has me the most concerned. This is a **sick, sick, sick*** fad that has life-long non-reversible consequences. The government schools are pushing it.

I have been attending our local community college since 2014. This year “transitioning” youth are **everywhere**. This phenomena is so sudden, I am horrified.

Was decorum the bleeped out word?

I don’t like your decorum, or any decorum in that case. I cheated, Joe.

Another school board member called for “decorum”

SCOTUS:...debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.

Parents exercised their first amendment right to free speech, peaceable assembly, and protesting the government for a redress of grievances.

To the school board, this is domestic terrorism.

The Supreme Court ruled in New York Times v Sullivan (1964)

23.
The general proposition that freedom of expression upon public questions is secured by the First Amendment has long been settled by our decisions. The constitutional safeguard, we have said,

'was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people...

The maintenance of the opportunity for free political discussion to the end that government may be responsive to the will of the people and that changes may be obtained by lawful means, an opportunity essential to the security of the Republic, is a fundamental principle of our constitutional system...

(I)t is a prized American privilege to speak one's mind, although not always with perfect good taste, on all public institutions...'

and this opportunity is to be afforded for 'vigorous advocacy' no less than 'abstract discussion.'

The First Amendment, said Judge Learned Hand, 'presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues, than through any kind of authoritative selection.

To many this is, and always will be, folly; but we have staked upon it our all.' Mr. Justice Brandeis, in his concurring opinion in Whitney v. California, gave the principle its classic formulation:

24.
'Those who won our independence believed...

that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government. They recognized the risks to which all human institutions are subject.

But they knew that order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination;

that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government;

that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones.

Believing in the power of reason as applied through public discussion, they eschewed silence coerced by law—the argument of force in its worst form. Recognizing the occasional tyrannies of governing majorities, they amended the Constitution so that free speech and assembly should be guaranteed.'

25.
Thus we consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.

It's a shame how the institutions of public discourse have turned away from holding government accountable and towards silencing the critics of government. Local school boards are the entry level of government, and these people don't like being challenged once they've obtained their positions of power, even on its lowest rung.

In the three years I taught “Embedded Computing” in high school, I provided my entire lesson plan to all parents. I also made the course material available, all 2 Gbytes of it.

Look again. Whether or not sovereign immunity kills you dead as a doornail, the school districts will provide a defense and indemnity at public expense.

As I said, the parents are the problem. If they don’t remove their children from these schools, they have only themselves to blame.

All this explains why they support a degenerate child groping pervert as their president.

Not even close to as scary as the reality it is based upon. What the homosexual left is doing to children and this nation is positively terrifying.

The government schools have always been a low-intensity hostage crisis by their very nature: they separate children from their families; good luck to both. Now the hostage crisis is going higher-intensity.

I don’t even have kids and I’ll ask the obvious question here.

If its OK for underage students to read as an assignment for class, HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY BE INAPPROPRIATE for a board meeting of adults????

Clearly they think it is inappropriate as evidenced by the fact that they cut the mic when she was reading it. So....why they hell is that being assigned to students?

It is either:
A) appropriate or
B) inappropriate

Pick one. You cannot have it both ways.
