Video: Man Arrested After Questioning Common Core

Video of an Ellicott City man being arrested during a meeting about the new education standards.

Watch the video of Robert Small, an Ellicott City parent, who was arrested and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer during a meeting about the new Common Core curriculum in Towson on Thursday night, according to the Baltimore Sun.

In the video small can be seen asking questions about the curriculum, then being asked to let other people ask questions and then a police officer trying to forcefully remove him from  the meeting. 

Common Core, the new standardized curriculum being implemented by Baltimore County, has become controversial because schools are trying to implement the new system on the fly.
