I seriously do not understand how anyone could approve of a performer who does not understand that their act is never for children in any format. On that basis alone - a performers complete lack of self-awareness or logic or humanity - that person should have nothing to in any proximity with children. People have literally lost there mfing minds to such a level of sick, stupid and debased it's like time for another Flood. Time to build an ark.

So the NJEA Convention this year was tantamount to a Freak Show with a side dish of political activism extremists.

Where is the equity for children who are conservative? Are pro-life and pro-Second Amendment? Plan to vote for Republicans? Do those children have a voice, given all the EQUITY everyone is so obsessed with? Are those children in the closet about their beliefs? (Yes). Are those children discriminated against? (Yes). It's all one-sided.

Parents can homeschool for starters. You don't need politicians for that. And parents can sue the schools instead of just screaming at the sky. Write your elected officials. Complaint to government agencies and put these issues on the public record.

I don't know where the lawyers get the money when the parent quits their job to homeschool.

Now all the parents have to do is go to this link. https://open.substack.com/pub/justingaffneysamuels/p/filing-complaint-against-groomers?r=6512g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web In the article, I post links to the federal and state agencies. It is procedure is whatever those agencies say it is, because they have to follow the law regardless of someone's feelings, and there has to be an investigation long before a lawyer can go before a judge. This is it, to put in plain and simple and anyone who can deal with basic instructions can do this.

I don't have to show you anything. I provide this information as a courtesy. Its up to you to follow up or not.

Well if you knew how to follow instructions, the first step is to file complaints with the state agencies. It is the parent's responsibility to figure this stuff out in each individual case. Anyone with reasonable intelligence and not mentally handicapped can do it.

We need to defund the NJEA , one of the strongest unions in the country

These people literally need jail time. They're promoting abuse. It's mental abuse, and trauma, and it's just as long lasting as physical abuse.

People who live in New Jersey, whose kids have been affected by this, have to get lawyers and sue. Or otherwise report this to Jersey state agencies and politicians. Simply venting does nothing.

Who's paying for the lawyers? will you help fund?

If you have a positive ruling from a state agency, the lawyers are free. I actually have a lot of experience Title VI and Title IX complaints, having filed hundreds of them. The first thing one has to do is file a complaint with the relevant state agencies. Let them investigate. At the conclusion of the investigating, assuming it is POSITIVE, they will often provide you with one of their own lawyers, for free. Even if you have to get a lawyer, when you can prove damages, lawyers may take cases on contingency, meaning they don't get paid unless you get a settlement or you win. Lawyers will do this for big cases they know they can win.

How is this event on the taxpayer's dime? Schools in New Jersey operate for 180 days, so the schools being not in session for two days during the Teacher's Convention does not affect that. If there were no days off for the Teacher's Convention, school would get out two days earlier in June. So again, how is this on the taxpayer's dime?

Parents need to complain to state and federal authorities on these matters. Its completely illegal. Sexualizing kids is a form of sexual harassment, and illegal under Title IX, which forbids all sex discrimination. Racial discrimination and critical race theory is illegal under Title VI, which forbids racial discrimination. Please check out this article for links on how to file complaints. https://open.substack.com/pub/justingaffneysamuels/p/filing-complaint-against-groomers?r=6512g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

it is, however, there are many federal laws that are broken.

Putting the complaints on the public record and getting an investigation going can be the first step in suing these people and stopping them. Doing nothing is not an option.

This was the NJEA convention paid for by tax dollars. I'm not sure how that lawsuit would work and who is paying for these things.

https://open.substack.com/pub/justingaffneysamuels/p/filing-complaint-against-groomers?r=6512g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web If you can read, I gave explicit instructions on how to do it. You file with the state agencies in NJ, or with the OCR. You gather evidence of ILLEGAL activity and explain how that activity is harmful to either OCR or the state agencies linked in the article. They will investigate. That is FREE. However, the process is whatever they tell you, and I am not the ultimate one deciding. If you want to proceed, you contact either OCR, which I linked to in that article, or you click on the link for state agencies in that article and contact the one in NJ. It is whatever they tell you, and if you don't want to contact them that is not up to me. File complaint, let the investigation proceed and this is how you initiate things and all of that is FREE.
