Tyranny in Maryland: Arrested for Asking A Question About Common Core (+video)

Is Dr. Dallas Dance, Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, so incompetent and clueless that they have to have someone arrested who asks an “unapproved” question about Dr. Zimba’s statements on the Common Core?

As the push back against Common Core builds momentum, the boot of the state on the necks of the grassroots tightens. Websites, prepaid for 3 years in advance, are suddenly taken down for non-payment even though all the fees were paid. At school board meetings, board members only answer pre-selected questions that have been scripted. No “non-scripted” questions are permitted. Those who violate this, face arrest or other unpleasant experiences. Lord only knows what the child will experience in school as a result of a parent’s question.

Below you will see a video of a parent being ejected, with force, by a security goon, from a school board meeting on common core. The man ejected from the meeting is Robert Small. His crime? He asked a question as reported by the Examiner:

“I want to know how many parents here are aware that the goal of the Common Core standards isn’t to prepare kids for full-fledged universities, it’s to prepare them for community college…..Parents, take control. We’re sick of this. This is not a CNN political game. This is a public town hall… Listen, don’t stand for this. You’re sitting here like cattle. You have questions. Confront them. They don’t want to do it in public…. Parents, you need to question these people….Do the research, it’s online.”

This is the jackboot of tyranny. This is when you know you are no longer in America of the past. This is the America of Barack Obama. This is an American at a school board meeting being arrested for asking a question pertinent to the meeting. How dare an American tax payer ask Dr. Dallas Dance, Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools, and Lillian Lowery, Maryland Superintendent, a question!

Here you can hear the parents still objecting that their pre-submitted questions were not answered.

I wonder how many people will be arrest at the next meeting in Maryland? These tyrants need to hear from you. Even if you like the Common Core, this is not how taxpayers who payer their salary should be treated. As a citizen, you have the right to speak out. As an American, you are afforded your first Amendment Right. This gentleman did not speak out of turn. He was called on. Yet, he was Forcefully ejected.

If Dr. Dallas is this incompetent, then this superintendent should be fired or recalled. This is an outrageous infringement on the first amendment rights of Mr. Small and other parents in Baltimore, Maryland. This is not a partisan issue. This is an AMERICAN issue. In America, we have the right to debate and discuss policies freely.

If this is how parents are treated, how are they treating children? No wonder children don’t perform well on tests in school, they are afraid to speak out! Clearly, the administration, not the parents or teachers, are the problem.

Want to see your tax dollars promoting Islam and giving Muslims at an Islamic school in New York an opportunity to complain that other people don’t understand them, don’t respect them and discriminate against them in restaurants?

Oh, and you’ll also learn that Islam gave women rights in the 7th century that women in the West had to live without until the 19th and 20th centuries.

Just tune in to the multimedia page at the website for the Women’s Rights National Historical Park.

The Schenectady, N.Y, attraction is a part of the National Park Service. It highlights the campaign for women’s rights and has created a series of at least three videos with students from the local AnNur Islamic School.

The videos provide a forum for students to boast about Islam and complain about how they are treated. The students also express their beliefs about their own behavior and conduct.

A college student from California is making waves this week after being told he couldn’t pass out copies of the United States Constitution on campus.

Robert Van Tuinen, 25, was attempting to hand out complimentary copies of the US Constitution at Modesto Junior College in central California on Tuesday when a police officer informed him that he could only distribute pamphlets on campus if done from within a designated free-speech area that requires weeks of notice to reserve.

“Anytime anything is being passed out it has to be… you have to go through the Student Development office,” said the officer.

“Don’t I have free speech, sir?” Van Tuinen responded, clutching copies of the Constitution.

“But do you know what this is?” he asked. “What are the rules? Why are the rules tied to my free speech?”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said that it would be morally justifiable for Congress to pass a continuing resolution that forces Americans to buy health care plans covering abortion-inducing drugs even if doing so violates their religious beliefs.

CNSNews.com asked Murphy about funding the controversial provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, following a press conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

Schaffner is a proud father, but now also an angry one. He dropped off his son at Fox Chapel Friday night for a football game.

Obama: ‘Raising the Debt Ceiling…Does Not Increase Our Debt,’ Though It Has ‘Over 100 Times’ (+video)

Raising the debt ceiling doesn’t increase the nation’s debt, Pres. Obama declared in a speech today.

In a speech at the Business Roundtable headquarters in Washington, D.C., Obama dismissed concerns about raising the debt ceiling by noting that it’d been done so many times in the past:

“Now, this debt ceiling — I just want to remind people in case you haven’t been keeping up — raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you’ve already racked up, Congress. It’s a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved.”

Dozens of local Transportation Security Administration workers have been fired or suspended after they were caught in an illegal gambling ring at Pittsburgh International Airport.

TSA sources tell the KDKA Investigators that the officers were fired or suspended Thursday morning.

The investigation took a few months. TSA took a look at more than 300 of its employees who work at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Sources confirm TSA employees on the job set up an office betting pool of sorts, employees betting year-round on all of the big sporting events, the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, the World Series, the Stanley Cup and more.

Marines Had Weapons, But No Ammo During Navy Yard Shooting (+video)

So, Homeland Security gets a couple billion rounds of ammunition, but the military doesn’t get any. That’s disturbing.

On Monday, a crazed gunman killed 12 innocent people, and injured over a dozen more, in a Washington, D.C. Navy Shipyard. It didn’t matter that it occurred on a military installation, because in 1993 Bill Clinton decreed that all U.S. military bases be “gun free zones”; thus denying the victims their 2nd Amendment right to defend themselves. But, it didn’t help those who did manage to be carrying a gun at the military base on Monday, because, apparently, it’s an ammunition-free zone, as well.
