How is it that Marty Esquivel is above the law?

School Board Policy BB1, link, the law in this case, is clear.

Board of Education members shall have authority only when acting as a Board of Education in a regular, special, committee or emergency meeting. The Board of Education shall not be bound in any way by any statement or action on the part of any individual Board of Education member. No Board of Education member shall speak for or represent the entire Board of Education unless so authorized by the majority of the Board of Education.

Marty Esquivel does not have the authority to issue a restraining order (he would rather call it a "ban letter") He does not have the authority to command the APS Police (a publicly funded private police force, a Praetorian Guard accountable to no one but to Brooks and the School Board) to do anything at all; much less interfere my rights to speak freely and to petition my government at a public forum.

Esquivel has no authority to act individually. His only defense would be to prove he didn't act individually; which means the rest of the board will have to admit they met in blatant violation of the Open Meetings Act and decided as a body, to authorize his violation of my First Amendment rights.

So far they have not; except for School Board Member Paula Maes, who later added her name at the bottom of the illegal order.

How can they act outside the law?

1. Lawyers
2. guns, and
3. money

Not to put too fine a point on it, but;

1. unscrupulous, unethical lawyers; the kind that give other lawyers a bad name,
2. an armed Praetorian Guard accountable and loyal only to, the board and the superintendent, and,
3. an unlimited stream of "education" dollars to divert in order to litigate their personal exceptions to the law.
   

Even those would not be enough to enable them to ignore the law so blatantly and so egregiously.

They couldn't get away with it if they did not also have, Kent Walz and the rest of the establishment media leadership, on their side.

He wants to be Attorney General some day, link.

I don't think so.
