A violent, transphobic and hateful physical aggressor does not belong anywhere near N.J. children, petition organizers wrote. We demand that he be removed from his position IMMEDIATELY, without pay, until a full investigation of this situation is complete.
The petition is addressed to both the Neptune Township Board of Education and the New Jersey Department of Education. It has garnered almost 2,000 signatures as of Tuesday morning, with a goal of reaching 2,500.
A letter of demand that includes the petition and calls for better protection of students, specifically transgender middle schoolers, will be brought to the township board of education this week, the organization wrote.
