A father in White Center, Washington, publicly alleged that his young son was taken by his middle school to an anti-ICE protest without his parental consent, and now this father wants to sue the school. The upset parent described the incident as “indoctrination” and said he intends to sue the school district.
The father, Vance Glaw, who goes by the TikTok handle modern_ragnar_1.0, revealed in a video that his son had attended an ICE protest. According to Vance, his son told him that Cascade Middle School had taken him and his classmates to protest the law enforcement agency.
“Who said you could bring my child to a protest? Any of our kids to a protest?” a furious Vance said.
While driving to the school, the Washington father explained that White Center, a census-designated place, is commonly referred to as “Rat City.” He claimed the area is not safe for children, much less an appropriate place to bring them for an anti-ICE protest, which he said can sometimes become volatile.
When Vance arrived at the middle school, his son had already returned from the unannounced field trip. He pointed out what he described as “furry teachers on their bikes,” calling the situation “craziness.”
Vance’s son then got into the vehicle. When asked whether he had consented to being taken to the protest, the boy said that “he didn’t want to.” Vance then stated that he planned to attend the next school board meeting and speak his mind.
No Matter Their Political Affiliation, People Don’t Agree With Schools Doing This
Many users shared Vance’s anger and criticized the school over the student protest.
“I would lawyer up now! No consent from a parent. Definitely not legal.”
“Sounds like child endangerment.”
“Liberalism is out of control.”
In a follow-up video, Vance showed an email from Cascade Middle School that appeared to inform parents about the student protest after it had already taken place. He also revealed that he had been receiving threats and announced that he was suing Washington’s Highline School District. To support the legal effort, he created a GiveSendGo fundraiser.
In a later update, Vance said his son is no longer able to return to his middle school. He claimed the boy had been receiving threats since the video went viral. As a result, the Washington father said he is now looking to relocate his family.
