A gulag.
The headline says it all:
Parents barred from speaking at meeting they're forced to attend
- No media allowed.
- No questions allowed.
- No discussion allowed.
- Police orders to remain seated and quiet.
- Orders to sign a school policy on tobacco/drugs/alcohol that some parents had never seen before, on the spot, before leaving the building.
All on the authority of…the school board?
This isn’t the FBI or CTU. It’s a bunch of school bureaucrats who’ve decided to treat parents like 4th graders. Worse—the majority of Swampscott parents allowed themselves to be treated this way.
And what the hell was the press doing going along with this? If’I’d been there representing WTKK, I would have been either in the building or under arrest. The hacks on the school board to NOT have the right to overrule the First Amendment.



"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
