The military has no jurisdiction outside of their base and anybody who sent an email from their military email is using their position and not as a private citizen. Each and every one of those people needs to be removed from their positions. The Chief of Police has no business contacting private citizens and telling them to remove their social media posts as that is a violation of their First Amendment Rights. The mayor should have immediately removed the Chief of Police. Unfortunately, the only way to put these people in their places would be in the court system. While I'm not entirely optimistic about the court system in NJ I think this would have to happen in the Federal Court System. The most troubling statement made in those emails was the comment related to "right wing" extremist groups. There are parents of all political affiliations who are troubled about what they are seeing. It's obvious that the schools in many regions are trying to assert their control over the kids by destroying the parent/child bond. It's exactly what every Communist country does.

I will ask my sister, a General in the USAF, to see if it's normal protocol for the military to involve itself in local school board issues. I think I know the answer but we'll see.
