A Minnesota school board is forcing residents to publicly reveal their home address if they want to comment at meetings
· Oct 27, 2021 · NottheBee.com

Concerned parents and citizens have lately mounted extremely effective public campaigns at local school board meetings to protest the miserable curriculum these boards often implement.

So of course the boards are starting to fight back:

This is a business meeting of the school board. It is not a meeting that belongs to the public... Each speaker is asked to state his or her name and address for the record. Failure to do so will result in an individual not being allowed to speak.

It would, of course, be ridiculously easy for the school board to simply require speakers to submit their home address on paper before speaking rather than publicly revealing their address to the assembly (and anyone watching the livestream).

But you kinda get the sense that that's the point, right?
