Dad hits back after 'false arrest' at school meeting

Spoke out against daughter's X-rated reading assignment

Leo Hohmann

Leo Hohmann is a news editor for WND. He has been a reporter and editor at several suburban newspapers in the Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, areas and also served as managing editor of Triangle Business Journal in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A New Hampshire man who was handcuffed and arrested for speaking his mind at a local school board meeting last year has filed a lawsuit against the police, alleging violations of his civil rights.

The criminal charges against William Baer of Gilford, New Hampshire, were tossed out of court by Belknap County Judge James Carroll in December, as WND previously reported.

Then-Acting Police Chief James Leach, who made the arrest, could have dropped the charges but elected not to, said Baer, who was arrested while addressing the board about a reading assignment given to his daughter’s ninth-grade class that included sexually explicit material.

“Lieutenant Leach, and Police Chief (Anthony) Bean Burpee, both took an oath to support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Baer told WND. “Lieutenant Leach violated my rights when he silenced and arrested me, and Chief Bean Burpee continued to violate my rights by prosecuting me for nearly seven months.

“These men abused their authority and their positions under color of law. The ‘law enforcers’ became lawbreakers and must be held to account.”

Citizens exercising their First Amendment rights have been roughed up by police not just in New Hampshire in recent years.

WND reported last year on the case of Eddie Overholt, a 76-year-old military veteran who was arrested at a Greene County, Tennessee, board of commissioners meeting because he stood up and requested that the board members speak louder so the audience could hear.

Just last week another man, Jeffrey Clay, was arrested at an Alton, New Hampshire, city council meeting for asking his elected leaders to resign due to “poor actions” and “poor decisions,” the Manchester Union Leader reported.

Press reports abound of other parents who attempted to address their local school boards about the controversial Common Core national education standards and ended up being ushered out, sometimes in handcuffs.

In one such case, in Baltimore County, Maryland, a parent was approached by a burly security guard, pushed, shoved, threatened and eventually handcuffed and forced to leave the meeting, reported Examiner.com, which also published a video of the incident.

Baer said his lawsuit is as much about stopping the national trend as it is seeking justice for himself.

He said it’s time for elected leaders to stop trampling the First Amendment rights of citizens. The video of his arrest went viral on YouTube, attracting more than 1 million views.

Baer spoke in opposition to a reading assignment given to his daughter, Marina. The book, “Nineteen Minutes,” by Jody Picoult, contained graphic descriptions of a violent sexual assault that, in Baer’s opinion, was not age-appropriate for a 14-year-old.

The school officials said the book had “important themes” to be studied about a school shooting.

Parents were not properly notified ahead of time about the assignment’s explicit content. Many concerned parents on both sides of the issue showed up at a tense May 5, 2014, school board meeting.

Several news reporters and at least one videographer were also present, according to the local newspaper, the Laconia Daily Sun.

Chairwoman Sue Allen opened public comment and limited each speaker to two minutes. The officer, Leach, was at the meeting, in uniform and initially standing off to one side, according to the Sun.

Watch video of William Baer’s arrest below:

Baer spoke for two minutes and was told by resident Joe Wernig that his time was up. Baer finished his thought and sat down. Wernig lives in Gilford and is a professional educator in a neighboring school district.

Two others spoke and were followed by Wernig, who accused Baer and other parents of trying to “dictate” what his kids could and could not read. Baer interjected, without being recognized, that Wernig’s statement was false and he was told by Allen to respect other speakers.

“Like you’re respectful of my daughter, right, and my children?” Baer told the chairwoman.

Baer said the school’s actions were “ridiculous” and that those present were getting a “civics lesson” on the First Amendment.

After a nod from Allen and Superintendent Kent Hemingway, Leach approached Baer and told him he was being asked to leave. He gave him no prior warning and Baer said, “I guess you’re gonna have to arrest me.”

Leach removed Baer by grabbing his wrist and leading him from the meeting room, all of which was captured on video. He was taken outside, handcuffed and arrested.

Leach did not respond to WND’s request for comment Wednesday. His boss, Gilford Police Chief Anthony Bean-Burpee, also did not return WND’s phone call.

Baer said he may include others on the lawsuit, but for now it’s just Leach being sued. At the time of the incident, Leach was the acting police chief, Baer said, and answered to no one.

“My inclination would have been to name everyone, and sort it out later. The attorneys representing me thought the action was primarily stemming from the false arrest,” he said. “If through discovery we find evidence that the school board/administration basically conspired to have me shut up at the meeting, we will add them as defendants.”

Baer has retained former Rep. Charles Douglas III as his attorney.

“Chuck Douglas was a U.S. congressman and served on the New Hampshire Supreme Court for 12 years,” Baer said. “This guy is a heavy hitter in New Hampshire. I picked him for very specific reasons so he could not just be looked at as some sort of ambulance chaser. When people see his name on the suit, they will know this thing is for real.”

Baer said he is also being advised by Charlottesville, Virginia-based The Rutherford Institute, which defends Americans against government abuse and overreach.

Marina Baer addressed the board after her father was arrested.

“I just watched my father get arrested because he broke the two-minute rule at a board of education meeting,” she said. “This just shows you resort to force at the first turn of conflict and I’m appalled.

“I don’t trust you. I haven’t. I honestly don’t feel safe around you people,” she said, before turning away to leave.

Baer said in December that his life and the lives of his family had been thrown into disarray by the arrest.

“After seven-and-a-half months of being pursued by the State of New Hampshire, through the Gilford Police Department and School Board, I am obviously pleased that all charges have been dismissed. Belknap County Judge James Carroll showed me there still is some justice in our system,” he said.

He had been charged with three counts of disorderly conduct.

“Make no mistake, these three criminal charges against me were not ‘dropped’ by Gilford Police Chief Bean Burpee and his prosecutor Sgt. Eric Bredbury; they were dismissed by a New Hampshire circuit court judge after a full hearing,” Baer said. “In spite of having months to review the law and the facts, the prosecutor refused to drop the charges or even propose a plea, but rather continued to seek a conviction to justify the state’s violation of my First Amendment right of free speech, and my unlawful arrest.”

That is probably the whole story in a nutshell. Lack of training and experience and arrogant to boot.

A lesson for any municipality or county here.

I doubt this was a 1st amendment issue. It appears this disgruntled subject already used up his allotted time to speak. The public meeting must have rules and limitations or this subject will then remove the liberties and freedoms of the other parents that are there to speak. Even though he's most likely the most important person he knows, he isn't more important than any other person in there complying with the rules so everyone gets to speak.

He probably was given multiple chances to be fair to his peers... and he decided to act like a nazi jackbooted thug towards them and decided he was going to use their time to speak whether everyone in the room liked it or not.

Now, if he was never allowed to speak and was silenced because they knew they weren't going to like what he said... then YES, poor policing, heavy handed and quick to use LE. Somehow I doubt it... and somehow I think you know he acted a fool too.

He was probably removed for trespass... he doesn't have a constitutional right to enter and remain in that building if he was asked to leave.

Let's not invoke the constitution, when the entire school board and agenda, and circus proceedings are fascist bulls***. That school is paid for with this guy's TAXES -- which are confiscated, regardless of school board agenda and subject matter consent.

I agree with your school board agenda opinion. But it still doesn't give this person an unlimited timed, no rules speech... or the unfettered right to remain in that public building after the building personnel that's responsible for that building asks him to leave.

If he feels the school is so so so wrong... he should run for a position on the school board and make changes. Something tells me he probably has a minority view and that's just one more reason he shouldn't speak longer than anyone else there.

I don't believe the concerned, justifiably irate parent was asking for "unlimited time" -- just enough to give opinions, and have legit questions address and answered. Instead he was treated like a piece of crap and criminal. The LEO treated him with ZILCH respect -- unlike the manner in which they would have treated a black, an Arab, a homo.

If he feels the school is so so so wrong... he should run for a position on the school board and make changes. Something tells me he probably has a minority view and that's just one more reason he shouldn't speak longer than anyone else there.

That's a cop out resolution.

Just because certain members of school board have been elected doesn't mean they have carte blanche to hijack and warp the education process, then treat the parents like children when they object. The subject matter is highly inappropriate, yet the school board in their arrogance dismiss and snicker at serf-parents whose minimal time to voice objection is met with derision and Brownshirt-type ejection. 14 year-olds who are being are being fed Sex & Violence 101 is NOT "educational." It's indoctrination.

Negative. It's what a civil society does.

He is the tyrant that removes the freedoms and liberties of his peers with his Brownshirt actions. The other people in that room have just as much rights to speech as he does. He wanted them to lick his boots while he spoke FOR THEM, DURING THEIR TIME... whether they liked it or not.

The right to speak is for EVERYONE, not just the nazi thug who is the most important person he knows.

THIS above quote is all YOURS. You've italicized it, which is wrongly attributed it to ME.

Here's my previous simple response to that opinion of yours:

"That's a cop out resolution."

Negative. It's what a civil society does.

Affirmative. It's a local community's school board, which indeed HAD recourse if they found the elected school betraying the trust of the parents, and acted like Czars and arrogant mafia godfathers who give the middle finger to parents.

He is the tyrant that removes the freedoms and liberties of his peers with his Brownshirt actions. The other people in that room have just as much rights to speech as he does. He wanted them to lick his boots while he spoke FOR THEM, DURING THEIR TIME... whether they liked it or not.

You've reverse the truth of the matter, joined the politiburo bullies of the board, along with the their thug-bouncers in censoring, and short-circuiting legit concerns that required further debate. Thugs of feather can't stand to be exposed as fascists.

It's clear who boots demanded be licked and "authoritahs." And as usual, you back the wrong side. Remember this: Taxpayers are the boss of punk civil servants and punk LEOs -- NOT the other way round.

Negative. One big mouth feeling he was victimized does not equal betrayal. Even if I personally disagree with the book he's talking about.

He speaks his 2 minutes. If he gets no satisfaction than HE AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PARENTS PISSED OFF can make a difference by voting him in for change.... Then we come down to reality. It's just him pissed off.

Now he can remove his kid and homeschool.

An entire 120 seconds?? HA!

Not nearly enough to debate the case, and expose the bull*** and Kangaroo Court proceedings. And any sane person know it.

Now he can remove his kid and homeschool.

Fine. Where's he going to be refunded the taxes he was coerced into paying that are unconstitutionally confiscated by this gubmint monopoly? OR, will a "vote" change THAT??

I agree with you here... school taxes are socislism anyway... but he won't be the first to pay them and still homeschool.

Sucks to be him. Maybe he should go off the grid

You're still missing the point; You can't be surrendering to fascist boards of education with NO legal, moral, or ethical grounds for subverting and indoctrinating the pods.

You gonna stand by still, Daddy as they teach communism, transvestism 101, and LEOs as "abusive oppressors"? Wait till your ox is gored...(oh wait -- you'll accept it until the next school board election, right?)

He has a right to pull his child from the school and teach his moral and ethical ideals.

And I hope his kids keep talking in his class if they disagree with something he teaches... so he knows how it feels

Let me ask you again:

ARE you gonna stand by as a father as the school teaches communism, and transvestism 101, as LEOs and school board bouncers restrict and oppress your right as a moral, taxpaying parent?

OR....will you merely accept and swallow your kid's psychological abuse and forcibly reading smut until the next school board election?
