*Two decades after 9/11, the real threat to the US is our own far right.*
Republican politicians, both minor and prominent ones, are fomenting
violence against school boards with the aim of intimidation, so they
won't require masks in schools.
When right-winger bullies win a victory through intimidation, they
call it a victory, and they vaunt it to whip up more bullies. We must
give them, instead, failures and defeats.
It would make sense for school board meetings to bring more than 20
strong men they can trust, perhaps some armed, to maintain security at
the entrances and inside the room. Plus a few cops, chosen for being
police officers,
rather than thugs, to arrest anyone that unmasks or threatens.
