ROUND ROCK, TX – According to reports, the Round Rock Independent School District in Texas is arresting parents at their homes who dare to speak out against the school board’s policies at school board meetings – utilizing their very own police force to accomplish this concerning practice to effectively punish wrong-think.
Christopher Rufo wrote in the City Journal earlier in November about how the proverbial “battle lines are clear” regarding the war waged by “the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents” against parents critical of CRT-laden curriculums, school closures, and mask mandates imposed on their children.
Rufo added that “Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use police power to silence and intimidate their opponents” citing the arrests of two local parents that were orchestrated by the Round Rock School Board.
Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark are two local fathers who have spoken out against the alleged corruption of the school board and the antagonism of school administrators against parents.
Story, a minister, was interrupted mid-sentence during a school board meeting in August while presenting evidence that the board had covered up an alleged attack by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, on a mistress. Azaiez reportedly had Story removed from the premises by officers.
During the following school board meeting, Clark – a retired Army captain – sought to speak during the meeting with other local parents but found themselves locked out of the room where the school board meeting was taking place.

While parents were asking the school board to open up the room so public comments could be shared, school board president Amy Weir ordered officers to remove Clark from school grounds. While Clark was being removed from the property, he reportedly called the school board members communists and demanded that they should “let the public in.”
But this wasn’t the end of the controversy regarding Story and Clark – as they’d find themselves being visited by police days later and arrested. The Round Rock Independent School District has their very own police force, reportedly consisting of patrol units, school resource officers, a detective, and a K-9 unit.
The school district sent officers to Clark and Story’s homes and had them arrested under charges of disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting, where the two local fathers were jailed overnight and released the following day.
It’s a rather unsettling development, in that the Round Rock School Board is using the guise of “disorderly conduct” to in effect criminalize criticism of the school board’s actions – putting parents in jail for voicing or simply trying to voice their displeasure with the school board.

when they refuse to allow u to speak that is when things get loud and therefore they think they can have them arrested. this is wrong, and those involved ought to be arrested for wrongful use of police force and the police should not be used this way. pull the bonds of these school admins and file complaints against them. once these boobs find out those complaints raise the price of said bonds and follow them to any other bond provider they will stop this over reach!
In every tyrannical takeover in history’s list of dead civilizations, it was never the tyrant or despotic dictator who did the actual dirty work, it was always, like here, their willing enforcers. There are hundreds of thousands of first responders refusing to obey these recent tyrannical laws. If only the LEO’s who arrested these two men took their oaths seriously and had the same love of country and of truth, they would have refused these wannabe America destroying dictators! Shame on them!
Letting a school district have their own personal Gestapo police force should have been a sign that something was very wrong from the beginning. County sheriffs should be enlisted to prevent the Gestapo from using their hired goon tactics; videotape all interactions, proving that “disagreement” does not meet the standard for “disorderly conduct”. If these parents don’t figure out how to destroy this illegal setup, they will be oppressed further.
IN TEXAS?! THIS IS TOTAL BULLS**T! ONCE THEY CLEAR UP THEIR “LEGAL” SITUATION, I’D BRING A HUGE LAW SUIT AGAINST THE SCHOOL BOARD.
This is just north of Austin, so that should tell you a lot.
Why anyone still has their kids in public school anymore boggles my mind
Massive lawsuit!
Back the blue. Shame on you. When I was in Washington d.c. the police were escorting antifa around like bodyguards.
This is what you get when you get the thin blue line crap and the back the blue bullshit. Police are now backing domestic terrorist, choosing pension over the people. They will be on the wrong side of the law when the shit hits the fan.
If anyone must be listened to its the parents of the students. The school Board are at the beck and call of the Parents NOT the other way around. If Parents are concerned with a certain curriculum that they deem inappropriate, or controversial then that curriculum should be suspended until such time as the issue is settled. why parents are being arrested for standing their ground is Tyrannical.
visit them at their homesw will you?
turnabout is fair play
This is how democrat commies operate; promise the moon, meet in secret, groom your children for sex, encourage your children to be gay and have unhappy lives. All in secret. They tell your kids they must not tell their parents. We must defund and cancel the Department of Education. We are production fewer graduates today then the day that department was founded.
Bring more Californians in and see what happens. I know what needs to happen, shut it down before it brings you down! Bring the companies in but leave the people behind. Texas doesn’t want this crap here.
Liberals have been training us to TRUST bureaucrats since Woodrow Wilson’s administration. If you are as skeptical as I am, you might want to sign this petition too! https://standforhealthfreedom.com/action/cdc-grand-jury-investigation/
