We’ve been informed by the National School Boards Association that concerned parents flooding school board meetings all over the country to object to the implementation of Critical Race Theory, gender identity politics dogma, and mask mandates in public school classrooms present “domestic terror” “threats” in certain instances to local school officials, which the group says merits a stepping in of the Feds for closer monitoring and investigation.
Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland has indicated that he agrees with the sentiment expressed by the NSBA, and issued a memo earlier this month that directed the FBI to, in concert with each U.S. Attorney, “convene meetings with federal, state, [and] local” officials “within 30 days of the issuance” of the memo in order to “facilitate the discussion of strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff, and will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response.”
It is with that in mind that we turn to a disturbing incident that took place in Indiana earlier this week that we haven’t heard much about for some reason. Per Indianapolis news outlet WTHR, things got extremely heated during a Shenandoah school board meeting after Jason Greer, a parent who was expressing his opposition to mask mandates for children, was nearly attacked by school board member/assistant secretary Alan Troxell.
Prior to the attempted attack, where Troxell had to be physically restrained (as you’ll see in the video clip), Greer referred to him as an “idiot”:
In a video provided to 13News, Greer can be heard calling Troxell an idiot. At that point, Troxell gets up from his chair behind a row of tables and goes toward Greer.
“What? What’d you say? Did you call me an idiot?” Troxell yells toward Greer, who remains seated.
A school resource officer restrained Troxell.
“I’m tired of that stupid bastard,” Troxell says in the video.
The officer points toward the door and Greer can be seen getting up and apparently leaving the room.
I want to make it clear that, contra to the wording in the tweet below, Greer was not “physically attacked” – but that was only because the resource officer intervened. Watch:

According to WTHR, Greer’s presentation didn’t convince the school board, which voted to extend their mask mandate into January of next year. The superintendent for the school system also told the news outlet that Troxell said he was “sorry” for his outburst and attempted attack, which wasn’t enough for Greer, who has called for him to step down, claiming he has shown similarly hostile behavior at other meetings.
Four days after the actual attempted assault of a concerned parent by a school board member, Merrick Garland has been strangely silent. Perhaps that’s because these parents don’t have teacher/education unions or fancy coordinated national organizations that support Democrats with which he can collude, as it appears he and/or other members of the Biden administration did with the NSBA.

Yeah, it only goes ONE way, doesn’t it?
If the parents were really terrorists Biden would be arming them with military weapons.
That school board member looked unhinged. Good thing he didn’t have a prop gun like Alec Baldwin.
Merrick is a Hack AG. He will do whatever his Boss’s handlers tell him to do, without hesitation.
Yeah, he went off on the parent to much....
....but don’t call me an idiot either.
I wish that the school resource officer had not intervened.
The only good thing is, he won’t be AG for life. Gotta credit Cocaine Mitch for that.
Politicians have ZERO right to go after a constituent who calls them an idiot. If he can’t take the heat of insults, he has no business in that seat.
“against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.”
US Supreme Court
New York Times vs Sullivan
Why do you wish he had not intervened?
No big surprise...
The country’s education system, at all levels of administration and teaching, is operated and controlled by ardent communists...
It needs to be gutted completely and the former concept of Public School Systems reestablished...
It would then take several generations of reeducation before the country could be in a position to get out from under the communist yoke of tyranny,,,
Well then we would see the reality of our Marxist educators.
He didn’t “go after” anyone. Smarten up.
All liberals are domestic terrorists.
You must be blind. The board member jumped out of his chair and went at him to the point that a cop restrained him. And it’s because the constituent called him an idiot... which he immediately proved.
He also threw his papers on the table and cussed a blue streak. He’s an idiot, went after him, and is unfit for office.
Smarten up.
I see your point. Wonder how that would have been covered if the cop would have let him complete his attack?
But he didn’t reach him. He was acting all big because the cop was there and he knew he had him for cover.
You are either a woman or fag.
Idiot
They kicked out the parent and let the violent leftist politician stay.
That school board is in for serious trouble if they don’t boot that nut job out.
Bootlick. You may like government officials charging at constituents acting like they are going after them. Nobody else does. You must be a Biden fan, he always plays tough guy too and talks about who he wants to fight.
