Ridgewood NJ, most Americans believe parents are right to be concerned about controversial teaching in public schools, and reject the claim that these are “phony” issues.
A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and Human Events finds that 76% of American Adults are concerned that public schools may be promoting controversial beliefs and attitudes, including 58% who say they are Very Concerned. Only 21% are not concerned about schools promoting controversial beliefs. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
It’s so much worse than most even know.
Parents most definitely have the right to speak at BOE meetings and to vigorously voice their concern about teaching their children the flawed 1619 Project (which obliterates July 4, 1776 as our founding and disparages our Founding Fathers).
A sizable portion of property taxes go to schools and yet some “progressive” school boards tell parents not to get involved with what is being taught in school. That makes no sense.
Some stupid gems from BOE’s across the country have been telling white elementary grade students to assess their “whiteness”, to think about “alternative views of the Holocaust”, to feel free to identify as “no gender, non-male, non-female”. Many parents have rightfully said that none of this acceptable in elementary schools.
I don’t believe the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory are required teaching in NJ schools yet but if radical Phil Murphy was to be re elected one can assume that he would promote this garbage in NJ schools.
Another reason to vote Murphy OUT.
Stay tuned as Gorman will try his best to flood Ridgewood schools w non core programing. Read his letter from last week.
I expect everything from the kind of Murphy, Gorman and a couple of BOE members/candidates and other nuts and kooks amongst RW !diots. Porn books that promote boys sex starting at 4th grade have been found in school libraries in a few NJ towns not to mention VA and Texas. Who’s to say these books are not “hiding” somewhere in our elementary school libraries? I am afraid that with the “progressive” mindset that is prevalent in RW, CRT and “sex” education for minors will not get much resistance. I hope I am completely wrong. This is one of the main reasons I feel much more comfortable voting for Kwak.
Here is praying for a miracle win for republicans in VA and NJ. We have to stop evil from getting full grasp of our society and lives. Think about your kids future when you vote and forget about some mean tweets from a thin skinned politician. Vote for what’s right. What have you got to lose? In 4 yrs you can pick a Murphy type again if Ciatarelli is bad (even though he can’t be worse than Murphy or Biden). Take a deep breath and use your brain.
Not to worry.
RW schools are doing just fine.
They are advancing the core concepts of:
White People Su*k
America Su*ks
