Dad arrested for speaking up at school board meeting (Gilsum, NH)
Best of Cain ^ | Tuesday May 6th, 2014 | Michael Johnson

Posted on 05/06/2014 4:08:10 PM PDT by Westbrook

Parents in Gilford New Hampshire went to a school board meeting to get answers as to why they were not notified that their children would be reading the book "Nineteen Minutes" which details, among other things, a violent sexual encounter between teenagers. On a day when we also hear that a California school district was trying to move forward with a "lesson plan that instructed middle school students to make arguments denying the Holocaust happened," isn't this the type of parental involvement we should be encouraging? I can understand if he was being abusive or if he kept the meeting from continuing, but to be put in handcuffs for a short outburst like this?

Watch and decide for yourself...

Gilsum is just a few miles north of Keene. Very rural, quiet town. Looks like the Nazis have taken hold everywhere.

Interesting commentary from other readers/viewers.

Schools should not be considered immune to child indecency laws

Of course!

This is pornography!

And the school gets away with it!

I think a very strong case for abuse can be made against the public school system, dating back decades and including particular components of sex education.

It’s time to hold perpetrators accountable.

I love Norman Rockwell.

But that was long ago and far away, in a country I can only dimly remember.

Before speaking, Baer was told he had two minutes. He went beyond that time and sat
down, but then got into an argument with another parent who approved of the book at
the high school.

“So what is the remedy here?” Baer asked.

The board said it would not take questions on the matter.

“Why don’t you have me arrested then?” he asked, after which an officer arrested
him and took him to the police station.

Meanwhile, Putin just banned uses of Russian profanity in various artforms. A little amazing that corrupting children will get you jailed in Russia, but protesting the corruption of children will get you arrested in America. The comparisons are getting scary.

Those particular (antiabstinence, “try it” sex positive “anything goes” aspects) have been sponsored for 40 years by Planned Parenthood’s “sex education” wing known as SIECUS.

Don’t try it, or the JBTs in full battle array will batter your door down at 3:00 AM, shoot your dog, confiscate all your electronics, and haul your beaten carcass off to the hoosegow.

Leftist pervs are more evil than any head chopping muzzle could ever imagine to be!
Any conservative allowing Public education abuse upon their child is totally negligent and complicite with this abuse.

I used to adore Rockwell until I read his political bent at the end of his life.
Look it up - I get why you like him but read more about him is my suggestion.

Time to home school or set up a separate system...
The way govt educated kids hit the work place these days so unprepared, it all ends up okay.

Planned Parenthood gets our tax money and the Democrats give it to them. Much of the rot in our culture has been been supported with our tax dollars without the voters even knowing about it.
