The temperature is rising, and it isn't global warming.

A man stood up to challenge the local authorities in their implementation of the Common (indoctrination) Core standards during a so called town hall meeting, and was thrown out by force by the local rent a cop.

Note to the authorities: it's not a "town hall forum" if the people can't speak without being arrested.

From the article:


   "Robert Small had concerns over the Common Core education initiative, feeling that it was dumbing down the curriculum in his local school district.
"My question is, how does lowering America's educational standards prepare kids for community college?" asked Small, before soon being approached by a security guard — who was also an off-duty cop — and being dragged away from his seat.
The outspoken father then implored the crowd to take action. "Don't stand for this," said Small. "You're sitting here like cowards. You have questions!"
Apparently, Small didn't follow the proper protocol of submitting his question in writing ahead of the meeting, which is why he was taken outside, and eventually arrested.
Small now faces jail time for the incident, or a fine of up to $2,500."
All it would have taken was one or two others to stand in front of the cop and demand that he release Mr. Small, and the whole thing might have ended differently.  It will take some of these "authorities" being tarred and feathered several times before they will begin again to know who they really work for.  
That can't come soon enough.

  1. It takes organization to make things work. It's easy to shout down or arrest one man. Less easy in a town hall to shout down and arrest 1000.

    It's much the way I described the US relationship with China. If you owe somebody $1,000, you're a debtor. If you owe somebody $1 trillion, you're a partner.

    The adage "strength in numbers" applies in these situations.
