Armed Agents Arrest TX Parents in Their Homes for Opposing School Board’s Policies

Wow. Not only are we facing tyranny when it comes to our personal medical health, but parents are being arrested in their own homes by armed agents for speaking out against their local school board’s policies.
Fathers Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark vocalized their opposition of the Round Rock Independent School District’s (RRISD) policies and “alleged corruption and school officials’ hostility toward parents.”
The board then sent their own armed agents to arrests the two men IN THEIR OWN HOMES, according to Christopher Rufo in the City Journal.
Rufo said, “The battle lines are clear: on one side, the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school closures, mask mandates, critical race theory and corruption. Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use police power to silence and intimidate their opponents.”
Breitbart reports:
In August, while “produc[ing] evidence that the board had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, against a mistress,” Story, a minister, was cut off midsentence as Azaiez ordered armed officers to remove him from the premises, according to Chronicles Magazine.
At issue in the next meeting was the district’s mask mandate. For this, Clark, a retired Army captain, and other parents sought to speak, but instead, the school board “locked the majority of parents out of the room, preventing them from speaking.” According to Rufo, while the parents were asking the school board to open the room for public comment on a major policy item, “school board president Amy Weir directed officers to remove Clark from school property.”
“As he was dragged out by two officers, Clark shouted to the audience: ‘It’s an open meeting! Shame on you. Communist! Communist! Let the public in!’” Rufo explained.
What is mind-blowing though, is that the RRISD has their own police force, Rufo explained, “with a three-layer chain of command, patrol units, school resource officers, a detective, and a K-9 unit.”
Just a few days after Clark was removed from the board meeting, the school district “sent police officers to the homes of both men [Story and Clark], arrested them, and put them in jail on charges of ‘disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting.’”
The two fathers were released the next morning.
Rufo added that many of the parents in the district feel as though the school board is trying to bully them and send the message that “if you speak out against us, we will turn you into criminals.”
Since when does a school board have that kind of authority? And in Texas nonetheless?? That’s something I would expect to hear about in liberal California, maybe….but not Texas.
