Ridgewood NJ,the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) released the advertisement Monday. In the ad, which as one Twitter user pointed out is currently airing, parents concerned about curriculum materials in classrooms are labeled as “extremists” attacking New Jersey schools to score political points. Republicans in the state reacted fiercely to the ad, slamming the union for demonizing parents.
“We don’t agree on everything in New Jersey,” a narrator begins the 15-second ad. It opens with pictures captioned “Pork Roll” and “Taylor Ham,” a reference to a popular cultural debate among New Jerseyans. “But we all agree that our kids deserve a “world-class education”. So when extremists start attacking our schools, that’s not who we are.”
The ad goes on to disparage and slander parents who disagree with the child grooming pedophilia based agenda.
Republicans and parents’ rights organizations blasted the ad and the NJEA .
“If protecting our children from Phil Murphy’s insane sex ed standards is ‘extreme,’ then we wear this as a badge of honor, @NJEA,” the New Jersey Republican Party wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
“Hey, @NJEA. Concerned parents who show up at school board meetings are not ‘extremists.’ THEY’RE PARENTS!” the State Assembly’s Republican caucus tweeted in response to the ad.
Republican State Senator Ed Durr, who authored the Parents’ Rights bill mentioned in the ad, blasted the NJEA as “out of touch” to the concerns of parents about sexual content in schools.
The NJEA is EVIL.
It used to just be self-serving… now it is openly anti-child
seems the NJEA wants half the parents to pull their children out of public schools
