About 100 Old Bridge NJ parents, guardians and grandparents showed up at the curriculum meeting to voice their concerns, even congressional candidate Darius Mayfield attended. The board had never seen any meeting like this. Speakers made it clear that the NEW inappropriate K-8 curriculum was not for their kids. As a resut, the BOE did not pass the new curriculum. Instead, the district has chosen to continue substantive conversation on the issue, while honoring parents' rights to a thorough review.
This district has such strong leadership. In the picture child advocate and inspirational speaker Darin Accettulli is speaking with Darius Mayfield. Darin has worked arm and arm with Kristen and myself, fighting for freedom during the lockdowns and the school mandates in 2020. We are making our way across New Jersey and fixing the schools one district at a time.
Darin, along with the parents in Old Bridge are truly an inspiration to us all.
So glad to see this happening .
Now we need to get all the local boards in every county to get on board. Many boards have no one filling those seats this November. Do you have a list of who they are, or maybe Jersey 1st has a list.
We need to focus on those seats so we can declare all counties winners
