In a meeting in Towson, MD, a man gets thrown out for asking questions about Common Core.

See, they allowed questions… as long as you wrote them down and they could select the ones they wanted to answer. But the questions people were most concerned about didn’t seem to get selected. One parent of grade schoolers in the community decided to stand up and ask his question anyway. Luckily people are starting to follow my advice and take their cameras to events. (Yes!! …Okay, I’m guessing other people have suggested this, too, but I’ve been a real noodge about it for years.)

Here’s how it played out: For his troubles, the man was arrested, and held until 3am.

Ted, as a person that played in the corporate world much longer than Ten has, I can tell you that most BOD's, especially in Silicon Valley, are composed of OTHER CEO's! That's what's caused the ridiculous CEO compensation in this country. In other countries, BOD's are mandated by the government to have at least some representatives of labor on the BOD.
