Angry father speaks out at school board meeting

Brandon Michon says his message isn't political. And if parents want to keep their kids home, he's fine with it. But the Virginia father says he's gone to Loudoun County School Board meetings for months and feels like his voice isn't being heard. Then, when his 5-year-old and 8-year-old spoke at this particular meeting, he says the board didn't acknowledge them. That's when he stepped forward and did not hold back.

"Alright, let's walk!"
He has no issues with the officer, who is actually doing his job as opposed to the board members who aren't doing theirs.

When I hear things like Math is racist it angers me that people won't stand up to that type of insanity. This guy has guts. People should take his lead.Follow his lead. Sorry.

"We aren't getting our way, can you ask the cop to escort the man that is making complete sense out of the room."

That's the only thing that should be contagious: RIGHTEOUS ANGER!

As a teacher of 15 years, this parent is absolutely right! I have been working in-person at my school since August 2020. My daughter has attended school all year in-person. There is a lot of misinformation out there which caused much fear and enabled many teachers to not want to return to the classrooms. Schools are not petri dishes for Covid and children are not main carriers of it either. It's time for schools to reopen.

Can I ask the deputy to maintain this absolutely sterile and heartless environment we maintain here?

Him yelling felt like I had got his power transferred to me

[ladybugkej]

Wow 😮. I love seeing parents standing up and speaking out!!!!

[AM-bkei]

Honestly, he gave these people exactly what they wanted. They're on a power trip and they love the feeling of seeing how much control they have over people's emotions.

These arrogant people need to be replaced with intelligent parents who want what is best for their children. Great speech by father who cares.

It's about time the people take action!

[MrMJpilot]

“Can you ask the deputy to make sure the gentleman leaves the boardroom?” 🤨🙄 a bunch of cowards who want to hide behind the police when they get called out for their stupidity!

[markwitmer]

You know these people are thinking,
"Yes!..He raised his voice. I can call him mean and just not listen to him"

[maryzimmerman]

He's right, it makes me feel good to hear him yell!!!

[Mike_Dubo]

This isn't anger. This... IS RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION!

Whoever that woman was at the end should be fired. She should understand the parents frustration let him vent and then take the high road. Instead she sounds bitter and petty to the facts and lacks the empathy and sympathy to do a proper job or to even be up there on that board.

Teachers have shown there true colours with this pandemic.

"c can we have a cop do something cause im scared and useless"- that lady.

[xidaucay]

They don’t care, they went on continued their business as usual

[AlexKS]

Need I also remind that the people who are on school boards are not elected officials yet they wield power like bureaucrats.
