“Thiesen’s (and the entire One Village-One Vote cabal) argument that voting has to be moved out of the schools for safety is utter nonsense. AT Hawes, you enter the gym and do not even see or go near the children. At the High School there are gates preventing you from going beyond the polling place in the gym. Siobhan and others are just fear mongers. Their sole goal is to prevent citizens from voting on the Board of Education proposed budgets. These individuals hold the Board and Fishbein in such HIGH regard (they think they are infallible) that they want to deny citizens their legal right to vote on these budget proposals. This is Jeanne Thiesen who wrote on social media that she wanted to prevent certain individuals from speaking at BOE meetings to “filter” them out. She and all of them are controlling, insane, disturbed people.”

“Changes will ultimately be decided by the NJEA and dictated to state government and the various school districts. At the very least, the NJEA will effectively hold veto power on any and all changes that are proposed to life in our public schools in response to COVID-19. For their part, the powers that be know not to push too hard for changes of which the NJEA will not approve. The final plan will preserve all of the jobs, pay and benefits the teachers and administrators currently enjoy, and disadvantage students more or less exclusively. It will amount to a huge middle digit to parents of current students, and to sheep-like taxpayers who diligently fund this nonsense year-in and year-out.”

Ridgewood NJ,Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said Thursday that the health risks of keeping schools closed are greater than those of opening them, amid a push by President Trump to have students in classrooms this fall. “I’m of the point of view as a public health leader in this nation, that having the schools actually closed is a greater public health threat to the children than having the schools reopen,” Redfield told The Hill’s Steve Clemons.
At the Ridgewood Board of Education during the discussion of the Infant/Toddler Development Center , “Due to the pandemic, the district may have to pivot at any time; therefore, we cannot guarantee that schools will not be directed to close buildings and transition to remote learning.” The district is currently surveying parents and prepping for the opening .

“The “damn” history books are written by left-leaning Marxist professors who take every opportunity to sow racial division and present only “data” and “facts” that suit their narrative. I know. I worked in the industry for years. Authors are resistant to suggestions (or outright refuse) to include alternative points of view. They indoctrinate. They want to alter the course of this country. More recently, standardized tests (such as the SATs and AP exams) have been changed to test for different facts and events in history so that they coincide with the need to teach the agenda presented in the texts. For example, AP history exams are slowly but surely scrubbing or minimizing questions on Western Civilizations like ancient Greece and Rome so they are covered less in class since teachers naturally focus on what is needed to score well on the test. It’s insidious and it’s happening.
I prefer to judge everyone on their merits and nothing more. I’m not the least bit upset that blacks in the NBA are overrepresented given their % of the overall population. Whoever can do a job better gets the job. Let’s all stop being victims.”

New Brunswick NJ, The fall semester at Rutgers University will combine a majority of remotely delivered courses with a limited number of in-person classes, President Jonathan Holloway said today.
The decision was not made easily or hastily, Holloway said, but was made due to the uncertainty regarding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in cases in other areas of the country and in consultation with public health experts and university leaders.
“Thinks that, had this season of protests come before the Ridgewood District sent all of its students home, our high school Principal Gorman would have been fairly tripping over himself to pause academic instruction and authorize and encourage a walkout and a rollicking good BLM protest by the maximum number of RHS students during the school day, all fully covered by prog-friendly media outlets. Because powder keg, dontcha know.”
