The Ridgewood Blog Brings a Free Market Laissez-faire Point of View to Local, New Jersey State and National Issues.
“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.”

“I’ve read the article twice now and don’t detect any racism. Thoughtful and provocative, yes, which seems to be the problem for “progressives” and those who think they are, like some commentators here.
It’s great that young people are out protesting and showing solidarity with another group of people but I wonder how well informed they truly are and whether they and their parents (and some commentators here) are able to separate the basic, laudable idea that Black Lives Matter and the BLM organization/leadership, which has a distinctly socialist/radical streak which is much less acceptable to informed, mature adults. I suspect not.

“I’ve seen comments on this board justifying recent BLM protests by Ridgewood’s younger people. The argument goes something like this: let them protest, at least they are standing up for something.
That would be an ok argument if the movement they are claiming to be a part of didn’t result in country-wide mayhem, burning of the flag, deaths of many innocents and billions in property damage.
But since these unfortunate things have happened, I don’t see how it’s ok to come out in Ridgewood and stand up “for something.” Something ain’t good enough. BLM ringleaders know what the purpose is. Ridgewood kids do not. Until they get educated about what’s actually going on, they should study math and English instead of protesting.”
“You you think that some of these poster would have figured that out.“Among the demands are four specific ones, related to education in Ridgewood. But let’s march everywhere but in front of the Board of Ed.
I hope your Ridgewood parents are proud . Go to the twitter feed post above and you will more of this . @RW4BL

“I recommend that parents of these protesters google CNN payout to Nick Sandman. It’s a big figure. It doesn’t take much imagination to picture a law abiding resident who gets into an argument with the kids… some of them act aggressive… a nuz outlet or Twitter outs the resident publicly… the Leftist mob smear the resident… the resident files a juicy lawsuits against the nuz outlet… and against the Ridgewood kids who were smearing him…
This is all fun and games, and material for college applications… until the slow wheels of justice finally club your kid with a 6 or 7-figure decision. And don’t think for a second this won’t happened to you because some a$$holes in DC or whatever got away with worse. Those a$$holes had no $. You do.”
