How many government agencies should be involved to prevent parents from criticizing New Jersey schools? According to members of the United States Military, they need to involve the following agencies:
- The North Hanover Police Department
- New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness
- Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office of Counter-Terrorism
- New Jersey State Police Regional Operations Intelligence Center
In December, we broke the unbelievable story about the military engaging the North Hanover police to silence a mom when she posted about posters hanging in her district’s Upper Elementary School on Facebook. Her crime? She didn’t think her six and seven-year-old children were age-appropriate to be exposed to words such as polysexual and pansexual while attending an elementary school, “Math Night.” I know, the bigotry.
At the time, we assumed that one rogue military personnel decided to take things too far; however, an OPRA request just revealed the extent of the collaboration between the military, the police chief, and MANY OTHER government law enforcement agencies. The documents below prove that the full force of the government is being used to intimidate and silence a mom speaking out to protect her kids.
High-ranking Lt. Col. Megan Hall used her position of power and authority to silence the mom from North Hanover. Hall sent an email to the superintendents of North Hanover and Northern Burlington Regional, describing the mom’s post in a negative and false light and alleging a security threat that NEVER EXISTED. The type of behavior highlighted in Hall’s email erodes public trust and undermines the credibility of the military as a neutral and non-partisan institution.
The email chain between the military and the police chief snowballed into a hysterical frenzy of military officers calling on their contacts in other law enforcement agencies to figure out how to silence a concerned mom to get this information out of the view of “extremist groups.” They labeled a New Jersey parent substack, Chaos and Control (the newsletter of the New Jersey Project), as an “Extremist group.” Apparently “Extremist” means any person that doesn’t blindly follow the leftist’s agenda to sexualize children. It is clear from these emails that parents speaking out against the current inappropriate content in the schools will be met with the full wrath of the government.
On behalf of the military, Chief Duff used his official government position to coerce the removal of the mom’s post on the Fresh Faced Facebook page.
After the police chief managed to get the post removed from the main Facebook page, the military still wasn’t satisfied and was going after more Facebook posts in other groups.
The United States Army, Air Force, Department of Homeland Security, The New Jersey State Police, and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s office are being used to intimidate and silence parents speaking out against the education system. This undermines the democratic process and stifles free speech, which is essential for a healthy and functioning society. Parents have a right to voice their concerns, and the government must respond in a manner that upholds the principles of democracy and free speech. The future of education and the well-being of our children depend on a strong and vibrant system that listens to the voices of all stakeholders, including parents.
