    Right-wing fanatics go crazy

    The idea that a school board could like this idea is pretty scary

    NJ school board slammed as 'arrogant and incompetent,' reverses decision to remove holiday names from calendar

    Board voted to list Memorial Day, Thanksgiving as 'days off'

    A New Jersey school board has reversed plans to remove all holiday names from their school calendar after parents expressed outrage at an emergency meeting on the decision.

    The Randolph Board of Education voted 8-1 Monday to reinstate the holidays after dozens of members of the community voiced outrage during the public comment portion of the meeting.

    Tom Tatem, a Randolph Township father of four who created a petition demanding school board members resign, and James Jacobi, a Randolph Township father of three, told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that the victory should be a lesson in transparency for towns across America.

    "It's not about being the loudest to get your way, it's really about learning that this needs to be a transparent and accountable and collaborative process with the town that you live in," Jacobi said. "And that's one of the biggest messages we were giving the board last night, consistently across 40 different speakers. And that's what they really need to come and think about."

    "They got the message," Tatem said. "They reversed course on their decision, which is very much appreciated."
