Unsafe Spaces: How Schools Are Failing Biological Girls in the Name of Acceptance
How Policy 5756 put girls in danger at Westwood Regional School District
In a shocking and horrifying event, a former male student of the Westwood Regional High School who positioned himself as a trans female while in high school, was arrested this week for the brutal murder of two women. He allegedly beat them to death with multiple blows to the head, a heinous act that underscores the link between mental illness and Trans Ideology.
CONCERNS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN SERIOUSLY
A few years ago when Alan Abad decided to transition himself and began to use the girl’s bathrooms and locker rooms, some female students at Westwood Regional High School tried to voice discomfort about a biological male sharing their restrooms. The alleged escalations were treated as vague anxieties. How could any school allow teenage boys to be in the girl's bathroom and then silence the girls who didn’t embrace this aberration from all social norms?
You can thank the Westwood School Board for that and Policy 5756: The transgender student policy which allows transgender students to go wherever they want and for schools to actively affirm and support the behavior without any medical or psychological assessment, all the while keeping it from parents. ALL PARENTS, including those of girls who have to share restrooms and changing rooms with boys.
Westwood’s Board Majority is composed of far-left supplicants who have aggressively injected trans ideology into the district along with the teacher’s union (NJEA) at almost every level. Their crowning achievement was reimplementing policy 5756 which had been removed by the previous board in 2023.
Presiding over this far-left board and the drivers of the policy reimplementation are from right to left in 2024: Jorge Pertuez, Heather Perin, Loni Azzolina (Chair of the Policy Committee) Jason Garcia on his tiptoes, (Board President), Andrea Peck (VP) and Nicole Martin. The three conservative members of the board in 2024 to the left following Martin are Kristen Pedersen, Doug Cusato and Laura Cooper.
Despite concerns strongly raised by Cusato, Cooper and Pedersen regarding policy 5756’s reimplementation, the left-wing zealots all voted twice for its reinstatement. This policy distinctly allows biological boys claiming confusion about their gender to access girls’ changing rooms and bathrooms.
Which is what Alan Abad did.
WESTWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT IGNORING THE WARNING SIGNS
Mr. Abad did not present as female in any conventional sense. Referring to himself as “Candy” within the student body and “Alina” on school documents, Alan Abad presented himself not as a girl, but as a character, a farce of a girl. He did not attempt to blend in as a girl, preferring instead to dress in bizarre cartoonish outfits. He treated his gender identity as an unsettling spectacle while being affirmed, protected, and given free rein over spaces meant for biological females by the school and its administrators. Several students allegedly claimed that Mr. Abad’s behavior in the bathrooms was inappropriate and included wearing skirts without underpants and commenting on the sounds and smells he perceived girls were making while using the facilities.

This alone should have raised the school’s official concerns—but in the climate at Westwood where even questioning such behavior is met with condemnation, ostracization and accusations of bigotry, transphobia and other manipulative slurs, you can see why teenage girls would fall silent.
ALL concerns raised by biological girls about privacy and safety and their right to be protected by the school from invasion from boys should have been treated with legitimacy.
If the claims are accurate, these young girls were dismissed, their worries trivialized, and their objections treated as subordinate to Mr. Abads. Rather than addressing the unease of female students appropriately, these girls, as all women who fight against men in their private spaces, are made to feel that they are the problem. The official stance of Westwood School District is that if biological girls are unhappy, unsafe or uncomfortable with boys in their locker rooms and bathrooms, they (the biological girls) should go to the nurse’s office to use the bathroom or change there instead. But the School never told Alan Abad to do so. No, Mr. Abad was protected, affirmed, coddled and supported in his drive to create a false identity. Nor was he instructed that instead of violating girls' spaces, he should go to one of the single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms that were available in the school.
Let that sink in.
Abad had other options but insisted on violating girls' spaces. Shouldn’t that have raised a red flag? And instead of protecting biological girls’ rights and safety, school authorities subordinated those rights by shoving them aside in order to accommodate a mentally ill boy in their private spaces.
PROOF THESE GIRLS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG
It turns out this individual was, undeniably, male and undeniably violent. And now, two women are dead. Their lives were ended by being bludgeoned to death by the very same person whom the school previously allowed to be in inappropriate proximity to minor biological girls under the guise of Trans Rights and a Policy that promotes the affirmation of mental illness.
SAY THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD
It is becoming undeniable that deciding you are born in the wrong body, assuming a false identity and becoming a characterization of the opposite sex is more and more revealing itself to be a mental illness that shouldn’t be affirmed but ADDRESSED. Until 2019 and the rapid shift in the US political climate, gender dysphoria was classified as a mental illness.
However, mainstream media, the school, the administration, and even the guidance counselors refuse to see reality; by that refusal and outright denial, they put other innocent people in danger by forced proximity. Minor girls in schools should not be forced to accept boys in their bathrooms.
The mainstream media directly fails to mention in all articles that this ill person assumed a trans identity. The media doesn’t want anyone to know we have another case of a mentally ill person identifying as a different gender being violent and deadly. Imagine the media blitz and hype if this was a trans person murdered by a white non-LGBTQ+ person…
Has anyone learned about another case of a man who claimed to be a woman who began a cult and was arrested for his involvement in the suspected murder of a border agent and about 5 others? No? The few articles out there also reject biology entirely and refer to the alleged murderer as “she” when this individual is endowed with male genitalia, making him a He.
We should all be scratching our heads about this serious hypocrisy. People who have decided they are trans force themselves into society and demand to be embraced and affirmed. The foundations of science, government, laws and our social norms are destroyed for their protection UNTIL they do something terrible. Then they suddenly are excused of their transness as if it didn’t exist and that part of them so thrust upon the rest of us is deliberately hidden and pushed into darkness and covered up, and never consistently addressed.
THE UNAVOIDABLE QUESTIONS
The arrest of this individual for alleged brutal murder where he bludgeoned two women to death now raises a series of unavoidable questions FOR ALL NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS:
How many more warning signs will the K-12 schools ignore before they prioritize biology over ideology and protect biological girls?
What will the schools do to fix the culture of silencing students who want their rights to safety and privacy RESTORED?
Why are the parents of girls NEVER NOTIFIED that there are boys in the girls’ bathrooms?
How many other boys in the district schools are frequenting girls’ bathrooms?
What will it take for the parents of New Jersey to stand up to the threat of being called bad names and fight for their daughters, and against the mental health pandemic across their towns?
This event should serve as a wake-up call to every Parent across NJ to demand the safety of biological girls prevail over that of special interests of Trans ideology.
THE RIGHTS OF BIOLOGICAL WOMEN AND GIRLS
The past few years have seen an alarming trend: young girls being told that their discomfort is invalid, that their personal boundaries don’t matter, and that their safety concerns are “bigoted, Transphobic and Xenophobic.” Schools that are responsible for protecting all students focus instead on only protecting those of the chosen political class of the far left.
This is unacceptable.
No school policy should ever force young women to surrender their security and privacy in the name of ideology. Westwood Regional High School ignores reality and ignores its student's safety while enforcing a two-tier approach to fairness, prioritizing trans rights over the rights of biological girls. If you’re not trans, you have no rights. If you are trans, then you have rights over everyone else because you’re “protected.”
Westwood Regional High School and its administration must at this point accept that they are putting girls in danger knowingly and negligently by continuing with Policy 5756. This is not about theoretical concerns. It is about real-life risks and consequences—consequences that have now proven deadly.
The school and its board must
Investigate whether or not escalations made by girls in the district for having boys in the bathrooms or changing rooms were and are fairly and properly addressed.
Answer to the community for mismanagement of the situation and apologize for allowing this boy into girls' spaces.
Immediately end the climate of the school where legitimate concerns were labeled as hate speech, inappropriate, or phobic because they came from biological girls.
Stop enforcing policies that prioritize ideology over safety and also elevate trans rights over everyone else.
Stop gaslighting girls into tolerating what no girl or woman should ever have to endure. A man, and a sick man, in their private spaces.
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness.
Westwood Regional School District failed their biologically female students. It is putting innocent girls in danger by refusing to eliminate Policy 5756 while actively affirming, allowing, and supporting biological boys in biological girls’ private spaces.
This is not just a crime story; it is a damning indictment of the blatant gaslighting happening to biological girls and women everywhere who are being forced to accept mentally ill men and boys in their private spaces.
WESTWOOD IN THE NEWS AGAIN, BUT IS ANYONE SURPRISED.
Westwood has commanded the media, both local and national, for its far-left lunacy. It is no doubt becoming the model that other districts can look at when they want to know what the outcome of self-destruction from the inside out looks like by letting the liberal left spread its madness.
The Parkside Community Church celebrates LGBTQ+ (especially the T) ideology more than it celebrates Christ. This Church has taken it a step further by actively entering town politics in an attempt to get its church elder elected to the Westwood Town Council.
A new Unitarian “Church”, associated with Parkside Community Church, moving into the town with a trans woman pastor that offers free “Sexuality Training” to minors by adults without parents present. The curriculum for this training is nothing short of disturbing.
The Insane Westwood and Washington Township School board meetings (April 2023 being the most prolific) were attended by hundreds of district teachers waving pride flags, capes, and shirts. These teachers also encouraged LGBTQ+ high school students from in and out of the district to scream and cry.
The madness of the inexcusable 2024 graduation fight involving the School Board President was so extensive that the Police were incapable of dealing with it at the time. Days later 12 people were arrested.
A Local brewery, 5 Dimes, poses as family-friendly while hosting drag shows. This brewery also actively permitted a man dressed in a woman’s pink nightie to expose his genitals to guests multiple times and never contacted the police.
A previous teacher was arrested for inappropriate sexual behavior and predation with a student during his employment in the district.
Considering the trending decline of Westwood and Township of Washington’s self-respect and decency within the past year, is it any wonder that they are back in the news with another shocking event?
This country needs to stop reaffirming mental illness! Today is the last day for states across the country to abide by the Presidents EO. Let’s see how many lose federal funding.
Thanks for this. This is not 'gender dysphoria' at all but a cult. Not only was this boy indoctrinated but so are the board members and staff, as well as countless students. Attaching a diagnosis to a cult permits cultural acceptance and medicalization. It is a dangerous game as you show. People need to be less fearful and do what is obviously right.
