Two school board members in the state of Texas are facing grand jury charges after they privately discussed advancing Critical Race Theory and other far-left ideas in their district, in violation of a state law on meetings of governmental bodies, as reported by The Daily Wire.
The two suspects are Michelle Moore and Todd Carlton, the president and vice president, respectively, of the Carroll Independent School District (CISD). They exchanged private text messages between each other discussing the district’s “Cultural Competence Action Plan.” This was ultimately determined to be in violation of a law in Texas known as the Open Meetings Act (OMA).
The OMA dictates that the school board, among other government entities such as councils, is to hold all of its meetings in public. As such, the substantial correspondence between the two on a critical matter relating directly to the school district’s policy was ultimately determined to qualify as a meeting held in private, in violation of the law........To Read More....My Take - I have to admit I find this strange. How can private conversations be illegal? If they discuss these things privately and then bring them up publicly, why is that a crime? While I may disagree with what they're proposing, I find it difficult to find what they did as crime.
