The Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) in Texas is using
its own armed agents to arrest parents who speak out against the school
board�s policies, according to Christopher Rufo in the City Journal.

Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said:

The battle lines are clear: on one side, the Biden
administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed
agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school
closures, mask mandates, critical race theory and corruption.
Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use
police power to silence and intimidate their opponents.

Two fathers, Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark, had spoken out against the
school board�s �alleged corruption and school officials� hostility
toward parents.� In August, while �produc[ing] evidence that the board
had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez,
against a mistress,� Story, a minister, was cut off midsentence as
Azaiez ordered armed officers to remove him from the premises,
according to Chronicles Magazine.

At issue in the next meeting was the district�s mask mandate. For this,
Clark, a retired Army captain, and other parents sought to speak, but
instead, the school board �locked the majority of parents out of the
room, preventing them from speaking.� According to Rufo, while the
parents were asking the school board to open the room for public
comment on a major policy item, �school board president Amy Weir
directed officers to remove Clark from school property.�

�As he was dragged out by two officers, Clark shouted to the audience:
�It�s an open meeting! Shame on you. Communist! Communist! Let the
public in!'� Rufo explained.

We live in a very normal country where school boards can send
cops to your house to arrest you and the FBI views parents as
terrorists https://t.co/O3SSr2XNiP

RRISD has it�s own police force, Rufo said, explaining: �with a three-
layer chain of command, patrol units, school resource officers, a
detective, and a K-9 unit.� And only a few days after Clark�s removal
from school board premises, the school district �sent police officers
to the homes of both men [Story and Clark], arrested them, and put them
in jail on charges of �disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a
meeting.'� They were released the next morning.

According to Rufo, many parents believe the school board is trying to
send a message: �if you speak out against us, we will turn you into
criminals.�

But these tactics are not unique to RRISD, explained Rufo:

In Loudoun County, Virginia, for example, where parents have
protested against critical race theory and a sexual assault
cover-up, the superintendent asked the county sheriff to
deploy a SWAT team, riot control unit, and undercover agents
to monitor parents at school board meetings.

The Loudoun sheriff did not comply with the superintendent�s request,
saying the board had not given �any justification for such a manpower-
intensive request.�

The issue of police power intimidation has become federal as well, as
Breitbart News reported Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the
FBI to look into concerned parents. Breitbart News also reported on a
whistleblower revelation that the FBI went as far as to use
�counterterrorism tools� to go after parents.

Story and Clark believe what they have gone through has implications
beyond RRISD, with Story saying, �This isn�t just about Dustin [Clark]
and me. It is about everyone. If they can come for us and get away with
it, school boards nationwide will be emboldened to come for you.�
