To The Daily Sun,
I was shocked to learn how the Gilford School Board permitted a concerned father of a Gilford High School female student to be arrested and handcuffed for defending his parental rights.
He was not loud. He was not disrespectful. He was not violent. He was being a responsible parent, just doing his God-given job of protecting his children.
If a parent can be arrested for disorderly conduct, acting out of a natural instinct to protect his offspring, I would think educators who deliberately allow pornographic material in the classroom have committed a greater offense.
The School Board's decision to now permit parents to accept controversial material or opt out in advance is a little too late for the students exposed to the material and for the man arrested.
In the name of all that is good and decent, the School Board owes Mr. Baer a public apology, at the very least, and should move to have the charges against him dropped.
