In the latest example of why your local school board’s matter, a conservative activist was recently removed from a public meeting, for reading out of a book that is available to kid’s in HISD school libraries.<\/p>\n
“They were not my words that I was speaking when I stood up there” said activist Bonnie Wallace, “These were words that were Houston ISD’s words, directly from the district’s own library materials, by the way paid for with taxpayer dollars.”<\/p>\n
Simple, straight forward, and the truth. But a truth that the HISD Board did not want to hear, which is why they ordered 3 police officers to remove Wallace not only from the meeting, but they also forced her to get into her car and drive away. Talk about authoritarianism!<\/p>\n
“It’s hypocrisy” Wallace told KTRH, “They removed me for displaying their own hypocrisy of their library book policy. Once a board can just silence a viewpoint that it doesn’t like, no one’s voice is safe.”<\/p>\n
That is why Wallace has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against HISD.<\/p>\n
“Why was the content purchased in the first place with tax dollars, for minors?” noted Wallace, “All I did was read aloud from the district’s own speech. They did not like it.”
And they don’t like being confronted, or asked about it either.<\/p>\n
We reached out to HISD for comment and reaction, but they did not respond to our request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the latest example of why your local school board’s matter, a conservative activist was recently removed from…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":776874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[4345,425,50,358,3187],"class_list":{"0":"post-776873","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-houston","9":"tag-local","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116526731153100936","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
