Michigan mom sues her school board for reporting her to the feds after she spoke against Covid policies
ยท Sep 29, 2022 ยท NottheBee.com

Remember when virtually every parent with common sense was called a domestic extremist because they opposed insane Covid restrictions in schools?

This one mom voiced her opinion to her local school board, and they literally reported her to the feds.

Now, the mom is fighting back.

From the Mackinac Public Policy Center in Michigan:

A Michigan mom is suing the Chippewa Valley School Board for violating her First Amendment rights. Sandra Hernden, with the help of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, is taking legal action after facing retaliation from members of the school board. Hernden spoke out against the district's COVID-19 policies, and district officials responded by reporting her to her employer and then to the Department of Justice.

Hernden is a police officer and mom of three boys. When the Chippewa Valley School District turned to remote instruction in spring 2020 in response to COVID-19, Hernden witnessed the toll it took on her children, particularly her son with special needs. Without the in-person assistance and individualized attention that he once had, his grades plummeted. He suffered socially, too. When the board decided the schools would stay virtual in fall 2020, she knew she had to fight for her son.

"For two years, I have been demoralized, humiliated, discredited and demeaned," said Sandra Hernden. "I can live with a lot of things and be called a lot of names, but none of this will stop me from fighting for my children. I'm bringing this case not just for my family, but for all the families like me who feel they have no voice."

This woman โ€“ who is a police officer and special needs mom โ€“ was persecuted because she disagreed with the school board's insane policies.

Could you imagine telling Americans 10 years ago that they'd be reported and investigated by the FBI for free speech at school boards?

And for voicing anger at policies that are hurting their children, no less??

Like many other parents, Hernden disagreed with the district's COVID-19 policies and spoke out at school board meetings. At one point, she accused the board of making politically motivated decisions that were not in the best interest of the students. In response, one board member wrote to Hernden's then-supervisor at the Harper Woods Police Department. The member accused her of "veiled racism" and of behavior that was unbecoming of a police officer. Hernden was then subjected to an internal investigation, but her employer determined she had not violated any department rules.

The problems continued after the school board began restricting Hernden's speech by interrupting her at meetings and prohibiting her from sharing her opinion. In response, she cautioned the board that their actions may be illegal.

This was a persistent Mama Bear that the school board did not want to deal with.

They tried to shut her up and curtail her right to speak in a public meeting.

These cowardly school boards are the absolute worst.

Things quickly escalated after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum about investigating parents who attend school board meetings. One day after the memorandum was issued, the president of the Chippewa Valley School Board admitted reporting Hernden to the Department of Justice.

"No parent should have to fear for their livelihood or their liberty because they stood up for their children," Steve Delie, attorney with the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation. "We hope that this case empowers parents to have the courage to speak out for what they believe is best for their children."

At the direction of one of the nation's largest teachers' unions, the Joe Biden DOJ led by Merrick Garland began persecuting parents who wanted schools opened. The Chippewa Valley School Board saw this and decided to report their troublemaker parent to the feds to intimidate her and ruin her life.

So many of these school boards have proved that they are the lowest scum and consider nothing but their own glorification and power.

Hopefully, this lawsuit will make a difference. We should see HUNDREDS of these all across the country.
