Those public school boards across America that have become followers of leftist Critical Race Theory, transgender, and green ideologies often face a common problem: parents who object to their children being indoctrinated.
Some have closed down meetings early, had parents arrested, threatened parents and even censored parents' speech in their effort to avoid accountability.
Now one district board in Oregon has taken its self-protection to a new level: It has ordered that its meetings are online, so parents cannot attend.
Fox News reports that parents in Oregon's North Clackamas School District were raising their objections to the board members' promotion of LGBTQ+ content to their children.
Parents also were provoked by a Department of Education report documenting "substandard" academic results in the schools.
So the board decided to have virtual meetings.
Fox reported, "The board's move follows an October meeting in which parents complained about the curriculum and argued that the district is working to keep parents in the dark, according to KATV."
"This district and the way it runs is a complete dumpster fire," one father said during the meeting, according to the outlet. "Stop gaslighting us in your little newsletters saying everything is okay."
Fox reported another father said "school choice and privatization of education" are coming.
Parents also have issues with the school's decisions to promote "gender-affirming care," which is a euphemism for promoting the body mutilations that come with transgenderism, as well as pornographic books in school libraries.
The report said, "Parents claimed their voices are being stifled by the district and the virtual shift is only the school board's latest effort to make sure their concerns are not being heard."
The board apparently was triggered by a mother's presentation during an October meeting on a book called "Gender Queer," to which parents objected.
The mother presented a poster with explicit images from the book, and board member Jena Benologa announced, "We're gonna have to shut this down and go back online" as board members walked out on the parents.
The district, in a statement to Fox, claimed board members "value" public input but they do not have to respond to speakers.
The board said parents will be able to speak if the meetings are online.

You implied that since your tax dollars paid for it you should use it, your tax dollars also allow for home schooling. And it don't mean anything if your kids have to grow up in life with public schooled kids , mine have done great , two nurses and a aero space welder. But I see your point about fighting the board
If you pull you kids out of public schools, then the school system does not get money from the Fed to educate your child. For every child in the public school system, the Fed provides money to the State to distribute to the systems. Less students mean less money from the arm twisting Fed. Why do you think schools have truant officers? It isn't because they want Johnny to get an education, it's because they want the money from the Fed.
That's the point I'm trying to make. They are using YOUR dollars to indoctrinate the children of the USA that YOUR children will have to mingle, work and breed with.
HELLO?
We have to fight for all the children is my point. I am not retreating from the battle field.
Those are OUR systems built with OUR money.
Defund the system , that's what I did when I home schooled my kids! It took the money from the public school system and used it in a private home school system.
The system won't be defunded, the money will be allowed to be reallocated ie school choice. School choice is not the same as defunding the system.
Trump said he wouldn't take down SS because of the number of old people who depend on it. I cannot see him defunding public education. Not happening. Come back to reality, honey.
Do you remember Betsy Devo's? Wtf are you trying to say???
