Police arrested a high school physics teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last Wednesday. Teacher Lux Claridge went to a meeting of the Emporia, Kansas City Commission on July 22 with their spouse and brother.

They left the meeting in handcuffs, dragged out by police on the orders of a city commissioner.
