A visit by Education Secretary Linda McMahon at a public school in New Jersey ended up infuriating the parents who were invited to take part and then were banned from entering after arriving.
According to a report from MS Now, from Colts Neck, New Jersey, McMahon was scheduled to appear before the children at Cedar Drive Middle School with representatives from the late Charlie Kirks TPUSA to discuss civics labeled, History Rocks!
A memo went out to parents on Tuesday, alerting parents and giving notice under the Open Public Meetings Act, that they would be welcome if they arrived at 7:45 AM.
According to the report, parents who showed up were denied entry.

That's what scared me. Public schools are supposed to be nonpartisan.

(45 posts)I graduated from Cedar Drive way back in 1987 (8th grade). I wrote the school superintendent a very pointed letter yesterday about this visit. Apparently the head of the school board is the one who arranged it.
Trump already built one of his ugly golf courses on the other side of town, but apparently that was not enough. Now they need to brainwash 12 year olds. It sickens me to see this garbage in my hometown.

(31,043 posts)if I can't be in there my kid can't be in there. I won't have my child propagandized by this abomination administration.
I've said as much to hotel clerks and auto mechanics. I also told a jesus freak years and years ago in no uncertain terms not to talk to my son while I went into the grocery store (he was skating).

I say that now, not having a child in that school, but that's how I feel.
