Ridgewood NJ, Schools have possession of children for most of the day and occupy most of their remaining waking hours with homework, inculcating many false and useless ideas and attitudes, but children can still find time to set off into the world of knowledge and ideas on their own.

Ridgewood NJ, first they eliminate the school budget vote now they want to restrict who can serve on a school board . Resident Aditya Sing posts his observations on Facebook of the Ridgewood Board of Education debate ,” you should be very offended by Mr. Kaufman’s statement about excluding almost half of the Ridgewood residents as BOE Trustee, as tax payers they are as much invested as us and actually help set off the school tax cost of school parents, as someone who want to continue living and contribute to Ridgewood and doesn’t wants to put a “for Sale” sign on my home, the day my Child graduates, I am disappointed about an attempt to exclude a large section of residents, while lip serving “DEI” mandates (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).”

Ridgewood NJ, on October 4, 2021, the DOJ announced a new initiative to address “harassment, intimidation and threats of violence” against school board members and employees – including but not limited to the creation of a federal task force as well as dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response by law enforcement under the auspices of the FBI.
Chris (Kaufman) is a fractured Board Member, all he does at this point is raise opposing views for no other reason than to hear his own voice, most of his arguments are just for the sake of arguing because of the changing dynamics of the school board which he has no control over. When a board is ‘fractured’ by just one member it can barely function. Why is it that a tenured board member, chooses to run for re-election with his buddy (“Lastly, I have chosen to run with my friend Mahmoud.”) ? It’s because he realizes that he can no longer stand on his own two feet, and in addition, to present an even deeper divide to the board in the event that they both are elected. Chris should finish his term, and leave his volunteer post, there is only positive in having served, by running for re-election all he is doing is cementing a negative, lets do him a favor and keep him on the positive side of the volunteer ledger and cast your vote for a fresh volunteer board member. Mahmoud is barely present, so no mention.
