Arrested curriculum development: Parent taken into custody at school forum for questioning Common Core standards

As a general rule, beware any government initiative that requires public officials to silence dissent rather than engage in debate.

A parent faces 10 yrs in jail & $5,000 in fines…for challenging Common Core. This must not stand==> http://t.co/iok92LDns7 #stopcommoncoe

The security guard in this video should be prosecuted. Shameful, and shameful the reactions of the school board. http://t.co/4V0bWdsxRL

Robert Small, a parent in Baltimore County, Maryland, stood up at a school “forum” and wanted to air his concerns about Common Core standards. He ended up being arrested:

Small was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, which carries a fine of $2,500 and up to 10 years in prison, and disturbing a school operation, which carries a fine of $2,500 and up to six months.
