The confused educators of public education are once again in trouble.
This time, Brainiacs is a Baltimore County school official who stopped calling officers and asking future U.S. Marines simply questioning. Why did Parker Jensen want to know, why do some of the classrooms at Towson High School in the county have American flags?
Now he has called for the school system. This means that Jensen should never be stopped and is the target of a police attack, so taxpayer money must be wasted defending a lawsuit that should never have been filed.
Bonus Facts: State law and county school bulletin board policies require that stars and stripes be displayed in all classrooms in county schools. This means that the county is almost certainly legally wrong. Similarly, it was to break state law and its own policies.
You are interrupted
The nasty story of Young Parker began in February when he realized that two high school classrooms were not displayed because they were needed for law and county policy.
Jensen approached the vice principal, “He said he would investigate the matter,” the station reported.
In March, Jensen says he returned to vice principal as there were no flags in his classroom yet. A few weeks later, nothing had finished yet, so Jensen felt concern for the principal's boss.
On March 28th, he left class and headed to the school board, ready to record a cell phone camera. “Someone came out and talked to me for five minutes and then I thought I was on the way,” he told the station.
“I want to talk to some sort of supervisor who regulates public schools in Baltimore County,” Jensen told the receptionist. He waited an hour. Then it got ugly, Fox 45 continued:
“I have the right to be here and record,” Jensen said on video, showing the lobby surveillance camera. “They record us all the time.”
However, the administrator never came out to talk to him. Instead, in the video, five police cars responded to the management building to stand up to Jensen.
“Three cop cars for kids? Five cop cars?” Jensen says in his video. He then turns to one of the executives. “You don't think that's a waste of resources, do you?” the officer shook his head and said no.
School officials claimed Jensen was trespassing. Of course, they hid in the bushes when they asked for an interview because Fox45 could not discuss “records and disciplinary actions of certain students.” They said the flag was in the classroom as of April 1st, the station reported.
Jensen won the battle for the flag, but the school's MARMS became nuclear by the future demon dog. They stopped him for seven days.
“You're stopped from school,” Hardnose emergency manager Richard Mass told him, the station continued. Reasons: “Destructive Behavior,” “Refusing to cooperate with school rules,” “Don't follow the direction.” The station also reported that he was facing trespass charges.
Violation of rights
Naturally, Jensen was “very frustrated,” he told the station.
I feel that what they did was illegal. As you know, we have the right to record government employees in the course of their obligations. It just makes a bad light shine. I think what I was doing is legal and there's a reason to be there. And the only reason they pause me is because they know they are at that wrong end.
Therefore, the county must fight Jensen's lawsuit. Jensen's lawsuit states that he violated his first and fourth amendments under the federal constitution. The lawsuit calls the county's case “retaliation for exercising his initial right to amend.” He also accused officials of “issuing false statements about his actions.” “Retaliation” was also “to cool his initial right to revise.” The 14th Amendment Request states that he was denied a legitimate procedure.
“He was stopped for most of the time,” Attorney Sarah Spitanic told Fox45.
The lawsuit seeks damages and requires the school to be exempt from suspension.
Taxpayers will be happy to know that valuable educational dollars will fight lawsuits against county lawyers. The county's school budget is $2.45 billion. Registration: 111,659. Cost per student: $21,942.
State law, county policy
Under state law, each classroom has a flag that requires “all students and teachers in charge to stand up,” and recites the pledge of loyalty.
“If you don't have a pledge of loyalty and a flag, you're just saying words that don't mean anything,” Jensen told FOX45. In any case, in 834 words, the county flag policy is clear and detailed.
The US flag shall be displayed in all school buildings and in each classroom during the session.
Similarly, the principal or his nominee is accused of “ensure that the flag is properly displayed on his/her school or school grounds.”
and “Each school shall begin the day by offering appropriate opening exercises, including salute to the US flag, readings of the Pledge of Allegiance and other patriotic exercises.”
