Professional victim and part-time Denver school board member Auon’tai “Tay” Anderson has devised a scheme to block a former supporter turned critic from being mean to him by obtaining a restraining order and filing a criminal complaint.
Anderson called the law on Brandon Pryor claiming Pryor cussed and scared him in his place of employment at the Struggle of Love Foundation in the Northfield Business Center, the same building in which Pryor works.
Chalkbeat reports Pryor and Anderson got sideways over a proposal to put the Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy at the Barrett Elementary site.
Pryor is credited as the school’s visionary, and there’s a lot of history and some bad blood with that site.
Pryor said Anderson responded angrily when Pryor wanted to talk to him about the school move, in particular the claim that Smith STEAM Academy’s principal supports it. Pryor said school families are divided and some are angry at the principal because they blame her for the pending move.
“Because he didn’t have a valid answer for me, he got defensive, and now he’s the victim,” Pryor said.
Pryor maintains there were no threats, he didn’t ask Anderson to step outside, and said cuss words flew in both directions.
Calling the law on parents and community members just because they disagree with the local school board decisions is a troubling trend that doesn’t tend to end well politically.
PeakNation™ will recall how the national teachers’ union got the White House and federal law enforcement officers in the Justice Department to go after concerned parents in Virginia, and it backfired with the election of a Republican governor.
Calling the cops on a school board critic shows Anderson is either feeling very confident, or vulnerable going into his reelection this year.
Anderson’s hearing in Denver County Court to extend the temporary restraining order is Feb. 7.
