so we're learning more tonight about
what led up to loudoun county school
board members
shutting down a heated meeting tuesday
we showed you this where parents
showed up to share their opinions on
transgender policy critical race theory
being taught to their children
one person was arrested for resisting
arrest and allegedly physically
physically threatening another attendee
well the lcps superintendent then
cut the meeting short declared it an
unlawful assembly
so another person was later arrested for
refusing to leave
after that happened and given a summons
for trespassing that man john tigges
talked about what happened with her own
tucker carlson tonight
we were supposed to go until seven until
the school board heard something they
didn't like and the net result was
they shut it down loudoun county not the
only school district
with deep disagreements on these issues
hundreds of people also attended a board
meeting in fort worth texas last night
to discuss
crt some attendees argue the subject
matter wrongly victimizes
minority students well tonight it
appears there's a growing trend parents
digging in to find out the details of
what is going on
in their children's schools and in some
cases like we covered in randolph
township up in new jersey
their coordinated efforts in opposing
school board policy has been
successful so let's talk about that and
our other top story the president's plan
to shut down crime by getting tougher on
guns with our brim team panel for
tonight so rob
omaree author of the unbroken thread and
brandon tatum former police officer and
author of
beaten black and blue being a black cop
in an america
under siege gentlemen thank you both for
being with us tonight great to have you
back
thanks shane okay so i want to start
with this our mike emanuel was out at
the meeting last night and got
um you know some of the sound that was
coming in from parents who were not
happy about what they were hearing and
before the meeting got shut down there
were 250 plus people
signed up to speak and i think about 50
or so got to before
it got out of hand i want to play
something that mike got from an unnamed
parent last night who said
don't assume that my kid is oppressed
my child is not oppressed and don't
assume that
as long as you marxist push your
unconstitutional agenda
on my child she will not be returning
back to mountain county schools
okay so brandon that mom says her child
is not going back
if what they're teaching is what she
makes it out to be what she described as
marxism what do you make of this fight
that's going on
well kudos to that that parent you know
we need to stand up for our children we
need to hold these
school districts accountable they
shouldn't be teaching garbage in our
schools like that you know we don't live
in an oppressed nation and there's no
reason
to be subjugating young people to being
a victim forever you're never going to
make it in life like that you're
definitely not gonna make it in the
united states of america so
shout out to the parents who go out and
show up and and i think it's a great
thing they need to continue to do that
i wish we would have done it before it
got to this point um where
we're all riled up and ready to you know
throw these people out of the school but
i think it's it's an honest thing and we
need to consistently
go and hold them accountable stand up
for our children and they don't do what
we expect them to do in the school
district take our children out
well and a lot of folks are saying
listen this is a right-wing conspiracy
this is a rallying cry for conservatives
and it's not actually what's going on in
schools there's no such thing as crt
that's being taught
in fact this is brenda sheridan she is a
member of that loudoun county school
board and this is her defense
of all the pushback that they're getting
here's what she said tonight
we are being promoted as something we
are not teaching something we are not
and and asking people to reflect
on their own lives and the ease with
which they
are able to succeed compared to someone
who
has been a part of a marginalized group
is uncomfortable
okay so rob what are we getting here i
mean is there something that parents
are accurately describing a crt is this
a boogeyman what's happening
shannon it's absolutely a real thing and
parents being
are being gaslighted by democratic
politicians
by their media allies as saying that
they don't get what's being taught to
their children
listen especially over the past year
thanks to the pandemic
parents got a front row seat to what
their children are being
taught and this is not for example the
history of racism or denunciations of
racism
it's not the history of slavery or jim
crow parents of all races
are happy to have their children learn
about that to have their children
understand why all that was a stain on
our nation
this is something else this is telling
that there are two groups of americans
and depending on their skill
skin color one group are oppressors and
one group
are permanent victims and that's
incredibly anti-american
some of the trainings are racially
segregated the idea that for example
four-year-olds
have to unpack their racial privileges
is deeply deeply radical and un-american
so when american parents hear that you
don't get crt it's not what you think it
is
it's just about diversity training it's
just about teaching our past
that's a lie and we're being gaslighted
and so i'm incredibly cheered by this
uprising of parents across the country
including as you know to chan and many
african-american parents
who don't want to be told that the
children are permanent victims
and that they're utterly oppressed that
that's just
as i said it's an un-american idea and
so this uprising is very healthy
and it gives me a lot of hope about the
future of this country frankly because
this is poison propaganda it's it's not
teaching diversity training
it's not teaching anti-racism this is
something else this is a kind of
neo-marxism
okay brandon you you touched on some of
those themes too i want to make sure to
get um some reaction from you brandon
tonight to what the president is saying
because you've been on the front lines
you have served
our community uh by being a police
officer in uniform here's what he said
in his speech today about getting a hold
of crime which is clearly in some cities
soaring right now here's the president
no one needs to have a weapon that can
fire over
30 40 50 even up to 100 rounds
unless you think the deer wearing kevlar
vests or something
community policing and programs that
keep neighborhoods safe and keep folks
out of trouble these efforts work they
save
lives so brandon you talked about a lot
of things but a lot of emphasis on gun
control today and he's there talking
about
hunting and deer wearing kevlar vest i
mean when i was in law school i didn't
learn that the second amendment was
about hunting
but listen you've been on the front line
so i'd like to get your take on what the
president said today
well i don't know if if the speechwriter
is the dumbest person in the world or
joe biden is the dumbest person in the
world but
anybody with common sense know that what
he's explaining about deer and hunting
and the second amendment
is asinine you know you're not going to
curb crime by stopping
law-abiding citizens for having guns i
mean just use common sense
if you don't care about killing people
you definitely don't care about
illegally being in possession of a
firearm
so therefore the laws are not going to
stop criminals i don't i don't
understand how we don't see that at this
point
um what we do need to focus on is people
who are committing the crimes the gun is
not the problem the person with the gun
is the problem
and for him to go out and say a gun
shouldn't have a hundred rounds
well with joe biden if you have two you
know uh two magazines with 30 rounds a
piece that's
60. you put three in there and then now
you can you can shoot up as many people
as you want to
so how ignorant is it that you are
worried about a single capacity magazine
when you're not looking at the totality
of circumstances most people are shot
and killed by handguns
not even rifles and then most people who
are killed are killed
due to suicide self-inflicting wounds it
has nothing to do with
the american population going out and
massively killing people also
due to math when we started talking
about defunding the police when they
start demoralizing law enforcement in
this country
we see crime go up it goes out of
control the gun laws have not changed in
the last couple years
it's been the rhetoric against police
officers and if you keep bashing them
they're not going to proactively police
they're going to leave the police
department at astronomical numbers
and these communities are just going to
get shot up every weekend because you
don't have people there to protect and
serve
so if he really wanted to make a
difference stop focusing on foolishness
and start empowering and emboldening
police officers
funding them so they can protect the
community the way we
we believe that they were supposed to do
from the very beginning
yeah and some of these most vulnerable
communities are the ones who say they
want more police there and they feel
like they need them in order to keep
them safe
brandon thank you for your years out
there in service so rob thank you for
being with us tonight it's great to see
both of you
thank you shannon god bless you
