Another parent arrested at a school board meeting.

Really getting tired of this crap and the cops who are way out of line.

Not it to mention the room of people who do and say nothing. Way to be good little sheep.

The Cop was doing his Job and removing the "disturbance", you can see them talk a few seconds in the hall before he put him in cuffs. Remember you can't upset the sheep (Libs) too much now. The bigger issue was how the hell that became required reading and who the hell would give that to a child to read? The excuse of "forgetting to send out the permission form" was way too weak to let stand.

When did speaking out of turn, outside of a courtroom, become an arrestable offense?

Removing him from the room is one thing, arresting him? I don't see a cause here.

Gotta keep the peace. No room for descent or choice in the new Amerika. Now shut up and get back in line slave.

ETA- My comments refer to school board not LEO. Cop was courteous and seemed even a little reluctant.

Lobbed from my electronic ball and chain.

Forget the outrage at what happened, did you see how many people followed the officer and the guy!? "Excuse me folks, I don't need your assistance right now."

The story is about the guy getting arrested, but what about the allowing of the further degradation of our society where children are assigned books that have themes that most parents I know would be vehemently opposed to.

Time and a place. Try that in any public/government meeting and it is a local violation of the ordinance on Disturbing the Peace in just about every jurisdiction in America. He was rude. The cop was patient. The citizen will pay the fine.

Next time maybe he will be respectful of the other citizens who were participating like civilized people. Something about catching more flies with honey comes to mind.

One F'ed up school.
These school officials are as bad as Davis' chancellor Linda Katehi.

I don't think the officer did anything wrong and I don't know if the Dad will be fined or not. But I hope not because the Dad has a very good point.

School board meetings are notorious for ignoring parents and I can see how the dad was frustrated. I would be irate. How many of you actually read the excerpts from the book? If I posted them here I am sure my post would be removed and rightly so. So let's see, the book is about a school shooting, bullying, sexual violence and graphic underage sex...a literary classic indeed. How many of you want to bet that the book is unbiased on each of those subjects?

The issue is not the with the Dad being removed for disorderly conduct. Hopefully he just got a ride down to the station and had to call his wife to come pick him up. The issue is with the schools/teachers doing whatever they hell they want without a single worry about consequences. Using assigned material to indoctrinate kids. "Oh whoops, we're sorry we made your kids read this trash without asking you first (fingers crossed behind their backs) we'll be sure to send a note home next time."

Well guess what, here's the school official response regarding what will happen next time. Does this sound like a school board that is sorry?

The School District policies IGE, IJ, IJA, KEC (available on the school district website) refer to the procedures for the use of novels containing controversial material. The district will take immediate action to revise these policies to include notification that requires parents to accept controversial materials rather than to opt out. Furthermore, the notification will detail more specifically the controversial material.

I know I am old and stuff.... But the way I think about it, if the school needs to ask parental permission to include a book, that right there is reason enough to not use the book in class. It isn't like there is some shortage of reading options in the world. I don't understand the need to include edgy subject matter in teaching. Leave that crap for college or adult writing classes.

i wonder if the cop got on a local forum to see if it was OK to arrest this guy?
