“There’s a free speech fight brewing in New Jersey.
On Wednesday, Assembly Republicans made a parody video ad that featured the NJEA’s logo, riffing on the union calling some of the parents who have showed up to local school board meetings to protest the new sex ed standards “extremists.”
By Thursday morning, the video had been taken off YouTube “due to a copyright claim by the New Jersey Education Association.”
Getting a video pulled from a website doesn’t help the NJEA’s cause when they’re being accused of trying to silence people.
“The NJEA’s action only drives home the Republicans’ point that they will stop at nothing to censor differing opinions, whether it is parents at board meetings or political speech in a video,” Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio (R-Warren) said in a statement.
DiMaio didn’t say whether Assembly Republicans would appeal to YouTube. But this brings up the concept of “fair use.” The video was clearly a parody and marked as such. It’s also political speech.”
Looks like another case of Democrat Immunity .
