Unlawful assembly? Arrests in Northern Virginia school board meeting after parents erupt over CRT HotAir

Shortly thereafter, LCPS announced that it would appeal Plowman s decision. That set the stage for their very next public session, which took place last night & and we see how that went. Parents and residents within LCPS are angry over the woke turn of the school board and its abuses. With this context in mind, this looks much more like a pattern of abuse of authority. The LCPS has acted as though it serves itself, not the community, and very much as though regulations on public comments don t apply to it, let alone the Constitution of the United States.

In that sense, it s not even about critical race theory or transgender pronouns. This conflict is about the definition of representative governance in local school systems, the First Amendment, and abuses of authority. Its eventual resolution will show whether accountability actually exists for politicians in Northern Virginia, and perhaps in many other places as well.

Speaking of which, accountability takes more than one form. If conservatives get smart and start organizing for school choice in Loudoun County and Virginia as a whole, that could bring an entirely different kind of accountability to the LCPS as students drain out of its system.
