The latest outrage whipped up by Fox, etc. to keep the base riled up.

Here's an example:

Patriot Party member arrested at Chandler school board meeting


A member of a right-wing Arizona group that has protested COVID-19 closures and school equity programs was arrested Wednesday outside the Chandler school board meeting after a disturbance.

Steve Daniels, chair of the Patriot Party of Arizona, was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespassing after a school representative and police officers asked Daniels to leave the district office and he refused.

A video of the exchange, which Daniels recorded and was later posted to YouTube, shows Daniels and dozens of community members outside the district office on Frye Road protesting the use of critical race theory in the classroom.



Critical race theory was not on the board's meeting agenda. But as rumors have swirled that the district is using the academic framework in classrooms, the school board decided to address it head-on. In an announcement near the start of the meeting, Board President Barb Mozden said the district is not teaching critical race theory and neither the board nor administration has discussed implementing critical race theory in the curriculum. Her statement was included in the board agenda that was posted online.
