A faction has emerged nationwide that seems to confuse free speech with a constitutional right to belligerence and verbal assault. As Rikers Island has run amok, so have school board meetings across the country. For those of you who thought our valley was just special, I'm about to burst your bubble. The National School Boards Association went so far as to appeal to the Biden administration for assistance in handling widespread threats against educators for, among other hot button issues of the day, mask policies.

Biden tossed this to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who wrote indisputably, "Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety."
