Last fall at a school board meeting, a woman came to the podium to complain to school board members about the longtime COVID-19 closure at her children’s elementary school. Administrators of the school had closed the school for 40 consecutive days, frustrating and angering parents in the district. She told the board, “We are coming for you,” which she later said was intended not as a threat, but to warn school board members that they would be voted out in the next election. Then she was called by the FBI.
