I will NEVER mask my kids again. I will pull them first. I still see kids wearing them at school, sadly the psycholagical damage is done and those kids will need deep therapy to feel safe again and function normally in society. I do believe some parents would comply again hopefully the the majority won't. What were the outcome legal standings on state mandate for the masks? I know there were lawsuits but never heard the results.

I didn't comply before, won't do anything now. More truths about everything is coming out daily on many channels not associated with media.

Knowing what I know, they would have to jail me.

Any parent, and there are some, I see it daily, that will comply just to keep kids in school regardless of the outcome. I take my grandson to school every day, you just see the complacency.

A rude awakening is very needed and I do believe its headed our way.

The solution is NO! It's time for non-compliance!! If we don't end it, we will be facing a very grim future of enslavement.

Thank you for keeping us updated and informed, of the totalitarian policies of our leftist government and officials. Last night Clifton BOE meeting the union president for Clifton teachers spoke negatively about your organization and Garden State Families..She was upset that we forwarded your tape on drag queens to several people. The sad thing is, face masks, vaccinations, perverted sex talk to minors, nothing seems to bother them. God Bless you and your group, how do we talk or meet with you.

We are not even affiliated with Garden State Families. We are a secular group, and we are much larger.

Bottom line is, parents see through comments like that, and they know who is on their team instantly. Let these folks keep talking and digging their own graves. I'd say that the vast majority of parents are aware that a NJEA local president is anti-parent, anti-child. Just keep doing what you're doing - talk to other parents informally, let them know who is on their team.

ALL parents must refuse this time or yank their kids from school... do not comply

The teachers signing that are the problem. That could be where it all stops. But by signing this survey/compliance form, teachers acknowledge they are willing to enforce the same on all our children.

NEVER AGAIN WILL (THE SCHOOL, THE GOVERNMENT, OR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION) DICTATE WHAT IS BEST FOR ME OR CHILDREN. RESISTANCE WILL BE MET TO STOP THESE TYRANTS.

First of all, I do not trust their numbers at all. Second is as everyone has known and now seeing confirmed via hundreds of qualified studies, masks do not stop spread of germs and have caused so many delays in young children. Stop the political narrative we see it for what it is. No more suffocation devices!

OMG. This is even worse than just masks. The list looks like gear for an ER doctor. They act like they are doing triage rather than teaching. Teachers were always exposed to germs. They survived and so did the kids. The mindset today is weak (thinking that noone should get a cold) and does nothing to help our kids succeed. Sadly the last thing on the minds of administrators is actually teaching our kids the three Rs.

How about if we all start jamming the governor's phone lines telling them we will not do it, they will lose their entire democrat legislature next year if he remasks the children.

He now has control over the schools without having directly to make mandates. The superintendents will do the bidding of the state and the NJEA

I had some feeling this was going on behind the scenes. They say transparency, but we can feel in our bones that there is some carrot, or stick, that is motivating Supers, and even the BOEs. I think there's NJEA, then NJSBA watching, NJDOE..they're all watching who is following the agenda best. I haven't figured out what the carrot is - job promotion? Perks? Better state funding? What's the stick? Any insights?

This is why we need more like minded people to run for BOE. Our BOE has zero transparancy. We got 2 out of 3 of our candidates in this year, but the one got in that doesn't really care to be transparent. I'm trying to analyze this from the inside now, what motivates these people. It was obvious to me after attending my first NJSBA event that they are controlled by the NJEA. Why, I don't know. The majority seem to want parents out of the decisionmaking process. To them, parents are just nuisances that get in the way of the agenda.

EXACTLY - I'm seeing this more every BOE meeting - we simply need the right people on the BOE. This secrecy is intuitive - they haven't been able to stop human intuition. I think Supers are pressured by the letter organizations...and the BOEs are responsible to hold the line. Reign things in.

Took a long time to get to this point, we won't reverse in 2 years...but we are making progress. They pushed and overplayed their hand. Smart people abound, and slowly but surely, things will turn around.

It's become their religion. They are making a point with their masks, where they stand ideologically. Good luck to them. DUH-The leftist educators are always second to face the firing squad, right after the dissidents ; )

My SIL is a Community College adjunct. She showed up at a family event last week with her big mask on and spraying us all with hand sanitizer b/c the "covid numbers are up". They thrive on this fear. And now that many of them are fully juiced and boosted, they are getting covid - which further motivates their fear and buy in to this madness.

THRIVE on it. It's their new religion. Hand sanitizer. As if.

I haven't paid attention to the Covid numbers since 2020.

I don't even look at the COVID numbers, and just roll my eyes when it comes up on TV and roll my eyes on the inside when some maskhole mentions it.

Here are the hospitalization etc #s for NJ. Pretty steady state. The big bump up and down I believe was a change to the calculations, not sure, but I always scroll to the hospitalization section, with the dots. You see that only 44% of the state's ICU beds are filled, and only 4% of total ICU beds are Covid+ patients. Of all hospital beds total (including ICU), for NJ, < 70% of beds are full, and only 10% are Covid patients. If we know of those, half are ICU, that means only 5% of non-ICU beds in NJ are Covid patients. So if #s are up, they are positive cases, but they are vastly not hospital-level illness. And again, in the hospital with Covid can mean you are there for any reason and happened to test positive for Covid. You might not be in there for covid. You could break your leg and be admitted and if you test positive, they call it Covid for these purposes.

Exactly. During the height of COVID my dad had a brain bleed, which was later attributed to 2 brain tumors that he had no idea he had. After much neglect and poor judgements by the hospital, he had a second brain bleed which basically led to a decline and he passed away 3 months later. The last 2 months, he was quarantined in a hospice wing.... b/c it was the height of COVID and no visitors. They allowed us in once a week but we had to wear full body hazmat suits. Long story short, a week before his death we get a call that he tested positive for COVID........ like really? Did you not think that we would see through your game?????????? My mom had her lawyer call and threaten them if they dared put COVID as his cause of death.
