NJ schools to remain closed for remainder of the year!

The Issue

Recently, schools were closed due to reducing the spread of COVID19. Our children are traumatized and have experienced imbalance as a result of this deadly virus. Families have lost loved ones and the uncertainty of containing the virus is unknown outside of "social distancing." We have not had the time to properly grieve nor ensure that our children would be safe returning to school amid the pandemic. Governor Murphy has declared that our children should return to school "at least May 15, 2020" with the use of masks. Sending our children to school with masks would immediately expose our children to the fast spreading virus and may cause irreparable harm.  Some children are not age appropriate to understand why him/her are mandated to wear a mask. Educators have had issues in the past with classroom management and therefore will place an even greater task on them by sending children to school with the mandate to wear a mask. Twenty six states have closed their schools for the remainder of the school year, however New Jersey has insisted that we put our children in harms way and throw them in the belly of the beast.

SAY NO TO GOVERNOR MURPHY'S PLAN TO PUT OUR CHILDREN IN HARMS WAY!!
