Loudon County, Virginia has been a flashpoint between the school board and parents opposed to critical race theory. The school board met Tuesday night and had about 200 parents signed up to speak.
Here’s former Virginia state senator Dick Black getting his mic cut off:

Update: former VA state senator Dick Black spoke out against critical race theory in the board meeting and crowd couldn’t stay silent. The Loudoun Co school board said if there were eruptions like this they’d end public comment pic.twitter.com/dx0oMAy1Fu

And end pubic comment they did. The sheriff also declared the school board meeting an unlawful assembly; apparently, you can riot all summer long and call it a protest, but you can’t challenge the school board.

The sheriff actually arrested two people for refusing to leave.
