A researcher from duke university, Tim Tyson, was arrested and charged with second degree trespassing according to wral.com for his actions of a Wake County Board of Education meeting Tuesday night.

Tyson was one of four people charged with second-degree trespassing after they interrupted the board’s meeting, locked arms and sang songs.

Rev. William Barber, president of the state chapter of the NAACP, Nancy Petty, a pastor at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh and Mary Debbin Williams, a Wake County parent staged what Barber called a “non-violent conscientious objection,” disrupting the meeting for about an hour to draw attention to a move by the board they believe will serve to re-segregate Wake County schools.

College professor Tyson is protesting the school board’s decision to go back to a community schooling model.  According to wral professor Tyson have the following words of wisdom regarding the matter:

“If the anti-diversity coalition of the school board thinks I’m a pain in the neck wait ‘till they meet my mama who taught fourth grade for 40 years and knows what to do with people who don’t do their homework,”
