Marina Baer watched her father get dragged away by a police officer after he violated the two-minute rule at a school board meeting in Gilford, New Hampshire. The dad, William Baer, was speaking out against the sexually graphic content found in a book assigned to his young daughter.
Earlier this week, 14-year-old Marina confronted the school board over the incident, telling members: “I honestly don’t feel safe around you people.”
“I just watched my father get arrested because he broke the two minute rule, at a board of education meeting,” she said. “This just shows that you resort to force at the first turn of conflict and I am appalled. So I don’t trust you.”

Easier said than done. Not to sound like I'm making excuses,and I don't know what anyone else's towns are like,but mine is a textbook example of a small town that's controlled by a few big families....where only the FIRST names of our town officials ever seem to change. It's so bad,and the citizens are so frustrated and disgusted,that no one has even run opposed for the last three town elections!
It's THAT bad!
Why are the having kids read stuff like this instead of actual literature? I guess it is because today’s teens can relate to a school shooting and pooled semen, but not to, say, a boy and a runaway slave floating down the Mississippi on a raft.
It's true - their kneejerk reaction is to call the police at the slightest sign of things not going their way.
Two minute rules are meant to be broken. It’s sad how cowed the other parents are.
It’s getting to be a habit:

I wouldn’t of been able to sit through that, then again I’m the guy always putting myself into the line of fire and taking the brunt, must be my infantryman background.
Those people there should be ashamed.
I only figured out in about 2008, that I’m a sheepdog, and suddenly my whole life made sense lol.
Give it a year or two more, and a 14-year-old who says something like this will either be very-publicly arrested, and charged with sedition and encouraging a riot, or she will simply disappear.
Corrupting kids is part of the leftist agenda

Thanks for this article.
It helps us prepare for the inevitable future shock of the Jackboot Heel of Obamanation that will come down on those of us who still have American Core Values.
To make her a target of intimidation and harassment.
That is how the Left works. But it works both ways.
Those school board people HAVE NO SHAME. They’re leftists. No shame, no morals, no honest intellect, nothing but a program to gain absolute power over people and their lives.
Wowsa. Looks like some school board folks need to learn their proper place in the scheme of things.
Our Governor had to disband the DeKalb County school board last year. What a mess!
School Board Election is a great place to show em the door.
Yeah, yeah, its harder to do, but can get it done.
Yes, they should be ashamed to just sit there. That’s why school boards can get away with their bullying.
He acted like an ass
well, there are still real men out there, I just pray there are enough. This dad’s young daughter did a good job too, pray there are more young girls and women like her too.
I can’t help but feel things are coming to a head, both sides keep pulling farther and farther away from each other, something will give. You can’t stretch an elastic band forever.
