“The first respondent asked why “all of Ridgewood” wasn’t invited, and the answer is really simple. These “teens” as they call themselves with their meeting “for teens, run by teens” invitation first of all, aren’t teens, and they are not looking for the betterment of society but rather, how many institutions can they attack and destroy. Their crowd of “know it all young adults” who consider themselves teens so they can hope to not be responsible for their actions. They hope to be getting more bleeding hearts who say “How could those big mean cops pick on a Latino teenager? They are obviously racists.” “or pick on an innocent teen (?) girl” who “just happened” to come with own photographer, recorder, and lawyer on July 4th? These brats assume they have the right to destroy society so they can have fun and get people to support them. Parents, please talk logic to your kids and hopefully get them to not participate in these mobs. Someone is going to get hurt.”

“The Jewish residents of NJ have good cause to be unsettled regarding BLM, and the rampant anti-semitism they believe in.
However, they should be more concerned with the Democratic party’s anti-semitic position. There has never been so much as a “no” spoken by Democrats against attacks being made against Jews. Anyone remember the Hanukkah celebration a few months ago? Shaheen; Cortez; De Blasio; Omar; Warren; Biden and yes, Obama and his cohort of Rev. Wright, Sharpton et al, they are all as guilty as sin of failing to condemn, and in fact outright support of such attacks.
The evil grew the same way in 1933 – Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Oust the Dems! “

“Parents need to spend more time teaching their kids about what’s right and wrong. And how to research, critically analyze and engage the world. These skills should be taught to teens and it’s not up to a school or university to teach them.
We’ve seen time and time again that public and private education systems are profit-driven. Even worse, the fees they charge students and their parents aren’t channeled to improve the quality of education. Rather schools treat their students as captives, while selling them in a secondary market to Pharma, political organizations, and corporate advertisers.
It’s not difficult to research BLM. Sit down with your kids, go on BLM website and listen to their leaders speak. Have your kids write down key positions and statements. Then have your kids read communist manifesto. Then have them read from survivors about socialist revolutions in USSR, Cuba and Venezuela. Put 2&2 together.
Congrats, you’ve bonded with your kids, taught them useful skills, and set them on a path that avoids hustlers.”

“The problem is their indoctrinated parents. Spend the next 24 hours watching only CNN/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC news. You will not see anything about rioting or damage being done by anarchists. They only present a picture of peaceful protesters, who are then being charged by Trump’s nazi storm troopers. The Left controls just about all of the news and they are not going to make the huge mistake they made in 2016 by giving Trump so much airtime because of the ratings. They don’t show his press briefings. Social media platforms are now censoring “hate speech”, but their interpretation of hate speech is anything from the Right while allowing anything from the Left.”
If you are close to a young person caught in the grips of a dangerous ideology, you may feel a moral responsibility to show that young person a way out. Here are some tips based on experience teaching young adults and research into the subject.
First, resist the temptation to reason. It is not an inability to reason that leads people to these positions. They are motivated instead by deep, often latent psychological drives, such as the desire to belong or be part of what has been portrayed as an important crusade.

“Why do we have so many bleeding hearts in our communities? If it is a “child–even if said “child” is 22–people can’t wait to slam the police for picking on a “kid”. Doesn’t matter if said “kid” is from out-of- state, or if they are no longer a “kid” except in attitude–these “poor little darlings” are being unjustly picked on. Who cares if they endanger others with their unsafe walking, or biking? Doesn’t matter if Police in various towns have warned them already and they are still breaking laws by the time they get to our community. Nothing matters to these individuals except that “a kid is being unjustly picked on” by these “nasty old Police who should certainly know better than to accuse “a child” of anything. These are the same individuals whose “darling child could never do a wrong” and thus other parents must have raised a child who can do no wrong either–unless it is said parents’ child who is being “picked on” by someone else’s “brat”. (Bet, if these people are actually parents they have no more than 2 “adored” children–with more children (or with the brains God gave them) a parent soon realizes that the world is not always rosy nor filled with “sweet little children”. What will it take to have these “highly indignant” individuals get out of their dream world and into understanding reality?”
“Bureaucrats, administrators…they definitely get paid by the word. No parent will suffer through this mess of information relating only to process. Moreover, the state is asleep at the switch. The districts and the NJEA know this and are confident that any scrutiny they receive for this mumbo-jumbo will end up being untimely and will only be partial. Nothing more than a post-game wrap-up. Therefore, they do as they please, everyone gets paid, nobody gets laid off or rendered superfluous, and the quantity of information absorbed by the students in the form of “learning” will continue to wither and shrink.”
