A new petition is calling on New Jersey school board members to resign after they voted to remove holidays from the official school calendar on Thursday.
The petition was created by a user with the name Thomas Tatem on Friday and demands Randolph Township school board members and Superintendent Jen Fano to"resign immediately," saying they"clearly do not have the best interests of our children in anything they do."
"If we don’t have anything on the calendar, we don’t have to have anyone [with] hurt feelings or anything like that," Dorene Roche, one of the board members, told Fox 5.Randolph Township Schools Director of Communications and Digital Media, Matthew Pfouts, told Fox News that Superintendent Fano was not involved in the board's vote.
The petition has garnered more than 200 signatures, though it is unclear whether signatories are residents of Randolph Township."We will not allow our beautiful town to be taken over by woke cancel culture," one signatory, named Frank Tomasiello, commented on the petition posted to Change.org."History exist[s] so we can learn from it… The good, the bad, and the ugly. And you have now become part of the ugly.
