Parent arrested on trumped-up charges for speaking out against common core at forum

Reported by The Baltimore Sun on 2013-09-20

Robert Small said he wanted to express his dismay over the introduction of a new school curriculum at a public forum Thursday night in Towson, but instead the Ellicott City parent was pulled out of the meeting, arrested and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer….

Assault of a police officer???? Outrageous. Watch the video. Mr. Small did nothing even remotely close to assault, never mind that the brute who “arrested him” was an off-duty officer working as a security guard. As he was led out, Mr. Small cried out to the other people, “Don’t stand for this. You are sitting here like cattle. Is this America?” Good question. Where is the courage of people to stand against tyranny? Today’s America is a mere remnant of the America that defeated Nazism, and even of the more recent America that won — yes WON — the Cold War. We are afraid. Afraid of the police state that our behemoth government is shackling us with.
