Sadly this article is more about being anti-car than it is about being anti-tyranny. Our cars provide us with vast amounts of freedom on many different levels.

The problem was that he challenged their authority and did not submit immediately. To bureaucrats and politicians, their power, rules, and procedures are more important than everything else, including sanity. This father did a remarkable job staying calm in the face of injustice...

The state thinks it owns your kids.

I'd get arrested for this, too. I love my kids. If I want to walk in and get them when school's out, stay out of my f'n way. Pretty simple.

This country is really finished. The vast majority of people are so sheep-like to allow this kind of thing - giving up control of their own children. It's friggin over... The majority will do any damned thing they are told to do, I'm sure of it.

Hello lawsuit for unlawful arrest! When the state claims more "ownership', interest and authority over your children it is tyranny, plain and simple. I believe a parent should have the right to remove their child from the school no matter what time it is, whether school has been dismissed or not. Outrageous!

I'm amazed that parents can become (rightfully) outraged over incidents like this, yet show no concern about being forced to submit their children daily to the tender mercies of a state "education" bureaucracy.

Hard to believe. I understand being cautious but once it is established that he is the kids father what is the problem?

the sheer arrogance. His argument was you have to follow our rules, even when school is out

Sort of reminds me of an obsolete nation-state which told people to follow the line to the 'showers'.
