A parent is arrested at a town hall meeting for asking a critical question about the Common Core school program. Watch what happens in the above link from Fox News.
This is typical of how certain groups structure their q and a sessions. Instead of being allowed to engage in real discussion, audience members have to write their questions and hope they will be chosen. I've had to play that game many times. Other tricks are instructing questioners to stick to the topic, ask questions instead of making statements and return to their seat before the question is answered. That precludes follow up questions.
This is how the left operates. And now a man is arrested for challenging the wise people who rule us.
We are losing it, Folks.

All charges against him have been dropped and a recall of the school board has begun.
This particular controversy aside, it's strange that he thinks that the Common Core is about "lowering standards". It does remove some standards, but at the same time, it focuses on the ones that are left in greater depth - in other words, one could make a better argument about the standards being raised.
The left can't live unless they stack the deck. They can't take a chance they would lose this or any debate by open discussion and vote. They cheated in the last election by not allowing hundreds of Tea Party organizations the same tax status as the left wing parties got and who sailed through.
That would have been a lot of people who, in effect, lost their freedom of speech.
We are getting closer and closer to a Stalinist Communist society every year Obozo is in office.

When people of your opinion were in charge of proceedings, they did the same thing, all the way back to the 1950s. It's like school administrators either want to cram prayers down the kids throats or ban Bibles in back packs, but by God, left right or center, they are going to give direction!
Meetings have an order and a protocol though. This one might not have been a very good one. It doesn't say he was arrested for asking the wrong question. Its good, if true, that charges have been dropped.
Did you see the other item about the kid playing with a toy gun on his family's private property while waiting for a school bus?
Be assured! Obama said that America is not a Banana Republic. Yah, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to all that think that America is not moving toward Banana Republic status.

It should probably be noted that there's a pretty significant edit in the video. It might mean nothing, but it should at least cast doubt on the narrative we're being given as to what happened.
Sorry Squid but I sold that bridge some time ago.
Jakes,
Point well taken, but I do stand by my comments on the q and a rules for so many of these events.
"for so many of these events" -- that's how Gary gets so vague he is saying nothing in particular, but manages to maintain a self-righteous posture about a specific event that may not be at all what he said it was.
Siarlys,
If I said all of those events, you would have jumped all over me and probably for god reason.
