    On se demande juste comment c’est possible.

    Such injustices and outrages against personal dignity, the diverse consequences of a common cause, social inequality, build up in the consciousness of the working class. And when this sentiment emerges in political form, the target will not just be local school officials.

    Teacher’s arrest in Louisiana: Another day, another outrage
    12 January 2018

    What could be more “American” than a local school board Town Hall meeting? The type of scene portrayed in a Norman Rockwell painting—democracy in action, an opportunity for ordinary citizens to air their complaints and have their voices heard, the embodiment of “civic duty” and accountability. In today’s America, however, Rockwell, witnessing the fate of Louisiana teacher Deyshia Hargrave, might be driven to adopt more the style of Francisco Goya or Hieronymus Bosch.

    • @reka euh, l’article explique la raison de ce type d’événement :

      The ruling elites are so accustomed to doing whatever they please without resistance that they respond to the first signs of opposition with the police baton. This class contempt for the concerns and democratic rights of working people percolates from the White House and halls of Congress in Washington down to the level of the petty bureaucrat tasked with enforcing budget cuts and austerity.

      If this is the response of a local school board to the challenge of a small group of teachers, what would the response of a billionaire like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos be to a real rebellion of the working class and a mass movement that threatened his wealth and the dictatorial rule of his class? Bezos wouldn’t call out deputy marshals and hired security guards, he’d call out the US Army.
