When has the government in previous generations officially called concerned parents "domestic terrorists" for voicing their opinions at public meetings? You don't get to wave off everything at whim when there are real concerns out there. A large percentage of the population would disagree with you that "disintegration" is not happening.

Well, that particular incident was not mentioned in the parent comment. But since you’ve brought it up, what else do you call an organized campaign to assault, threaten to assault, vandalize the private property of, threaten the family of, defame, and/or falsely level criminal charges against public officials? https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/01/13/school-board-association-domestic-terrorism/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/01/13/school-b... “At an Illinois school board meeting, a man was arrested after allegedly striking an education official. A school board member in Loudoun County, Va., fielded abusive, profane and threatening emails, Facebook messages and phone calls for months. In Florida, protesters camped out in front of a school board member’s house and burned an “FU” into her lawn with weed killer. They called her a Nazi and a pedophile. Someone falsely reported her as abusing her child to the Florida Department of Children and Families. “Be careful, your mommy hurts little kids!” an activist yelled at her daughter.” (links to incident reports in original source) That’s not merely “voicing their opinions at public meetings.”

  Governments don't make blanket statements about all parents in response to "a man" getting arrested. Activist school boards working with government enforcement are directly destroying lives. This isn't some "old people yelling at clouds" that you make it out to be. There's a reason so many school boards are being flipped. It's a response to the obvious hostility towards parents and people are actually waking up to it. Your downplaying and strawmanning of the situation shows that you actually don't know what's going on. "Father arrested at school board event says they tried covering up his daughter’s rape by man in girl’s bathroom" "Round Rock ISD police force arrests parents at their homes" "Dissident Parents Targeted by School Board in Arizona" Not to mention the numerous instances of school admins promoting discrimination, violence, and their biased political agendas. https://www.projectveritas.com/news/exposed-greenwich-ct-assistant-principals-hiring-discrimination-ensures/ https://www.projectveritas.com/news/exposed-greenwich-ct-ass... https://www.projectveritas.com/news/prestigious-nyc-private-school-director-touts-sneaking-her-political-agenda/ https://www.projectveritas.com/news/prestigious-nyc-private-... https://www.projectveritas.com/news/nyc-assistant-principal-becomes-second-school-official-to-reveal/ https://www.projectveritas.com/news/nyc-assistant-principal-... This isn't education. It's indoctrination backed by authoritarianism.

    Project Veritas has been caught lying in their reporting (deceptively editing footage, misrepresenting court records, etc.) too many times for me to take them seriously. Their wikipedia page is particularly damming, every allegation lovingly well-cited: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas

      It's funny how everyone who claims PV "deceptively edits" is forced to retract those statements because there is no evidence of such. Wikipedia isn't, and has never been, a valid source of truth. PV has won every time such claims have been brought to court. So cite all the biased articles you like. They post the videos. Edit all you want, those words came from those educator's mouths. That contains more truth than you'll ever find in a news article attempting to spin a narrative.
