So many conspiracy theorists here who think Lakewood elected officials are corrupt. Come on man, there is no corruption in Lakewood. You sound crazy. You never have any evidence. If there really was corruption in Lakewood the FBI would have already investigated it. Even the mainstream media isn't talking about the corruption in Lakewoodso its obvious there isn't any corruption. Come on man get over it, your candidates lost, and unzere won, you people have to concede gracefully and just accept that this is what the town wants - more building and development and traffic. You think you see corruption like a bunch of lunatic conspiracy theorists because you can't admit that you lost the election.
ReplyDeleteStop with the debunked discredited claims of corruption in Lakewood without any evidence. Even Trump's debunked discredited claims of election fraud has more bunk and credit that your debunked discredited claims of Lakewood corruption. And of course you guys never show any evidence of the corruption in Lakewood. Twitter should label you guys as conspiracy nuts.
I agree. People do want more corruption, greed, higher taxes, poor infrastructure and high tuition. I designed a program for free English in 2012. I wrote a multitude of papers of how we can convert the school district into an infrastructure of opportunity and an engine of growth for all of Lakewood and its posterity. We would have free adult separate gender professional and trades classes (the rooms were not used at night), build new state of the art facilities using regulations within the existing code essentially for free, create work-study for our students to integrate their work with school to make our high school into one of the finest in the state and to bring in billions of dollars by litigating to change to funding formula thereby lowering taxes and expanding knowledge to all our children. Just as Robert Moses found provisions in the parks laws to fund the building of all of New York great highways, I was going to use the school laws to make Lakewood great.
DeleteAlas, the people of Lakewood, as you said, rather wanted corruption and status quo. WHen I proposed litigating the funding formula, I was shouted down in front of BOE members, Town Committeemen and Igud HaMosdos. The BOE closed down the industrial arts to close the door on vocational education. When the state exposed tens of millions of dollars of waste during my litigation, nobody care.
As it stands, the people of Lakewood will owe $140 million dollars should the state loan the district the funds it needs to operate this year. I do not see why the legislature should not require the taxpayers to pay back that money by removing the caps on tax increases for towns that owe $50 million.
What is at stake if we lose? Paying back $140 million and growing. What can be gained by winning? Adequate funding that can be used to give the all the children of Lakewood the best state of art education, new facilities. And won't budgetary stability promote the general prosperity of all the taxpayers and residents of Lakewood?
But rather than encourage, help,what do the people of Lakewood do? Not only they oppose me, but tell the judge that she should recuse herself for insinuating that the funding formula is a "Ponzi Scheme." And what happened the day after the APP suggest naming the high school after me (LOL but they really did), I get transferred to another school to teach elementary grades (this on top of being informed right before the last phase of the trial that for the first time in many years that I would not be rehired to teach summer school ). So Mr. Anonymous, you are right. The people of Lakewood want inefficiency, high taxes, corruption. They certainly do not want vision or progress.
But the AsKKKanim!
DeleteThe state has informed them that the current rate of testing is insufficient and are not meeting the required quota.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the required quota? Is there an executive order to that effect? How is this legal?
It sounds like some sort of informal request
DeleteThe new and updated request was corrected to only allow testing for Covid and nothing else.
DeleteRead the sentence till the end. It is the quota to prevent a shutdown. We don't need to test. But those morons who are trying to shut down Yeshivos in Lakewood, all the while yelling and whining about the others who are working with the governor, are liable to convince enough people to make serious problems for us.
DeleteThose people have no dog in the race, they don't face the consequences of their irresponsibility. The Menahalim do, and they see that testing is the only option.
What about all of you without a "dog in the race" who made a fool out of me for not wanting the public schools to open. From your armchairs, without any stake one way or another, our district became the only k-12 in NJ to open full time and it was already among the most crowded in the state with 28 kids in a single classroom. Everyone ran to the support of the district opposing the teachers whose lives were at stake when none of you had anything at all at stake.
DeleteHow many, so far, 50 already are positive? All this support to open without a dog in the race. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm done.
What memahalim? There are lots of menahalim who dont approve of the testing and not doing any of this in their schools.
DeleteThere's no evidence that any of the cases among the public schools originated at school. As a public school employee in a different district, I think Lakewood showed great courage and did the right thing by their students.
DeletePick up the phone and ask your daas torah whether you should sign the form. I was advised to.
DeleteBut do we not have a dog in the race to have the public schools open.
DeleteWould there still be bussing for the yeshivas if they closed the public schools?
Also, a lot of our employees send their children to public school, if they have to stay home, it will foul up a lot of local businesses

DeleteRabbosei dont be sheep by blindly signing the consent form to have your kids tested in school without you being there. It is not mandated and they are bullying parents into submission.
ReplyDeleteMost schools are not testing.
If you want to test do so on your own.
ALL medical testing should be done at a Dr's office with the parent at the child's side. This is abuse of the children! Do not consent!
Deletehttps://firstamendmentactivist.blogspot.com/2020/11/lakewood-sephardic-school-caves-to.html
ReplyDeleteHow dare that School talk down to the parents .
ReplyDeleteRead their whole letter , the underlying tone is shameful.
Father knows best.
DeleteI really don't get this anti consent sentiment on this site.
ReplyDeleteYou send your child to school on trust. You have no idea what happens there, what kind of stuff they are teaching them. They might tell them that the Lubavitcher Rebbe was Moshiach, or that there was Yiddishkeit in America without Reb Aaron Kotler. They might teach limudei chol, they might not. There may be a teacher who is (horror of horrors) a Democrat, an Obama supporter.
But you trust the school on all of this, you are not seriously worried. You know that they want to do the best job possible, and they have no interest in ruining your child's life.
Yet for something as inconsequential as a simple saliva test, people kick up such a fuss. What do you really think the school is trying to do? Do you think the children will be hurt by this test? Do you honestly believe that there is a nefarious plots to do with children's saliva, their nasal passages, or anything else? Why do people make such a fuss about irrelevant issues?
If you are worried about your school, get hold of the text books and see if they are up to your standards. That is important, not this stuff.
When I chose my children's school, I chose one which has chinuch standards I trust. However, I feel that they are overstepping their boundaries by forcing a medical procedure upon my healthy children (as trivial as it might be) for political gain. My children are not pawns & neither should yours be. (& btw-its not the mechanchim that are asking for it -its the askanim that are. Big difference!)
DeleteAsskanim are working overtime to take credit of keeping schools open they fell into murphys trap and cant get kut. This testing can put a entire mishpacha in quarantine on a false positive and if they only test healthy kids that is sheker and it is all about the gelt.
ReplyDeleteTell me this Trump supporters.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump is so smart, why does he hire the dumbest lawyers possible? How does a lawyer not know what the word 'opacity' means? How does a lawyer not know the meaning of 'strict scrutiny'? He is seriously mentally deficient, and he is the one on whom you guys are relying?
As a non-Trump supporter, I am pleased that they didn't get a smart lawyer to argue their phony fraud claims. Or is it that anyone with a multiplicity of brain cells refused the case?
Here goes another Biden supporter making outlandish claims without any evidence.
DeleteNothing outlandish here. Read the court transcripts. Giuliani spoke like a third grader, confusing basic legal terms. He didn't know what the word 'opacity' means. The evidence is out there.
DeleteLately a bunch of Anti trumpers find their way to Hefkervelt. Seems to be a coordinated effort- a typical liberal mobjob.
ReplyDeleteI guess you can't imagine that there is diversity of opinion in our community. You can't fathom the concept that there are people out there who express their opinions without coordination.
DeleteIt doesn't make sense that there are so many Biden supporters who believe the anti-Trump conspiracy theories without any evidence to back them up.
DeleteI think all the anti trumpers in the website are the same person.
The issue here is the Trump conspiracy, they are the ones peddling fraud claims on the internet, then backtracking in court - "we are not alleging fraud".
DeleteThere are plenty of Biden supporters, 80 million of them in the country. Why do you think ten of them don't make it to Hefkervelt?
