JUST IN! ⚠️🚨🚨Imagine your child is being harmed at school. You report it. Instead of protecting your child, the school system turns its attention to you. We're told that parents should speak up when something isn't right. But what happens when doing exactly what you're supposed to do becomes the reason you're targeted? When I raised concerns about inappropriate conduct by another student, bullying, and a hostile school environment affecting my son's emotional well-being, I wasn't seeking conflict. I was fulfilling my responsibility as a parent. I didn't yell. I didn't threaten anyone. I simply brought my concerns to the attention of the New York City Department of Education. @NYCSchools Instead of a resolution, I found myself facing an ACS investigation that was ultimately dismissed on January 16, 2019. @ACSNYC About a year later in December 2019, my son was secretly removed by ACS without legal authority or jurisdiction when they circumvented his removal by using a third person at the Suffolk County Family Court. Then in November 2022, after I suddenly became ill and was hospitalized, new questions emerged when I reviewed my radiology records in October 2025. When two government agencies commit education document fraud, suppress evidence in family court in favor of a parent, continue a child welfare investigation despite overwhelming evidence in support of a parent and caused the non-consensual implantation of an external device that raises several questions. The below image shows a non-consensual implantation of an external device while I was hospitalized in November of 2022. Over the years, I have been secretly persecuted by the NYC Department of Education & ACS. @ACSNYC @NYCSchools All because I advocated in defense of my son. What would you do if advocating for your child came with consequences you never expected? What medical, scientific, or operational purpose would justify the use of such a device without consent? @hrw @PENamerica @MacArthrJustice @lawyers4goodgov @WeDemandJustice @propublica @theintercept @TheImprintNews @WesleyLowery @ACLU @boltsmag @POGOwatchdog @ABC7NY @News12BX @onthemedia @amNewYork @nytimes @RealLindellTV @DiamondandSilk @WashTimes @LiveAction @LiveNation

Yet another example of the lack of oversight and accountability within NYC Public Schools. Nearly $200K in taxpayer money is going toward a principal to run a school that doesn't even exist. Public school accountability must go beyond following the money and those actions by the NYC Department of Education must be scrutinized. As a parent with knowledge and experienced dealing with NYC Public Schools this is yet another example of fraud. I experienced the consequences of institutional failures firsthand and when oversight fails, children and families pay the price.
Update: “Public schools are underfunded.” Your tax dollars at work 💰 Time to dig into school budgets and demand some fiscal accountability.

👀👀Not! Why are low-income students being used as the testing ground for AI in schools? Children need to develop their own critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and intellectual abilities, not become dependent on technology before they've even mastered the fundamentals. Allow children to use their own brain faculties until high school. We already know the concerns surrounding excessive screen time and child development. Now we're introducing more AI into their learning environments? Our children deserve education, not experimentation.
“Gates spokesperson said the tools will be tested in schools serving high shares of low-income students, paired with teacher training, and evaluated by independent researchers” so it’s okay to experiment on poor kids? fortune.com/2026/09/19/the-g…

This is the educational homeschool curriculum I used for my son when I was homeschooling and I love them! 💓💓

🚨No government agency should have more power over a family than accountability for its decisions. I’m a NYC parent who challenged ACS and NYC Public Schools over my family’s rights. Parents should not have to fight behind closed doors for records, answers, or a fair process. @NYCSchools @ACSNYC If public agencies can make life-changing decisions, they must document them, explain them, and answer for them. Authority without transparency isn’t protection. It’s power without accountability. Parents deserve to understand the power these agencies hold and the accountability they should be required to demonstrate.

🚨🚨 JUST IN: The NYC DOE and CPS (ACS in New York City) are the new Southern planters and European colonizers, not because history repeats itself identically, but because institutions can still gain power by controlling families. Slavery turned human beings, family separation, and children’s labor into sources of wealth. Today, I see a parallel when systems treat parents as obstacles, children as cases, and family separation as an administrative outcome rather than a profound loss. When education and child-welfare systems operate without accountability to parents, oversight, or due process, they risk turning families into instruments of institutional power. @ACSNYC A child is not a revenue stream, a classification, a case number, or leverage. @NYCSchools @ACSNYC Parents’ rights are human rights. Children are not property of the state. Institutions exist to serve families, not build power over them or use them as leverage for financial profit. @NYCSchools Silence No More. @amNewYork @nypost @nypmetro @NY1 @News12BX @ABC7NY @ABC7NYNewsDesk @fox5ny @ACLJ @NewYorkFBI @reveal @NPR @CivilRights @BrennanCenter @ChildrensRights @NCCPR @FCAM2024 @POGOinvestigate @FBI @OCCRP @CommonCause @THECITYNY @TheJusticeDept @CityLimitsNews @NYAmNews @POGOwatchdog @NYC_DOI @StandwithMeg @JMacForFamilies @America1stLegal

"The Home School Graduation Recognition Act is a win-win. It benefits institutions of higher education amid declining enrollment. Colleges and universities, as well as trade schools, can safely accept homeschool high school graduates without fearing that the U.S. Department of Education will question their acceptance practices. Second, and more importantly, it will benefit homeschool students. It will ensure that a homeschool student who works hard and graduates with a homeschool high school diploma can go to college without worrying about his or her diploma being unfairly scrutinized. We ask the U.S. Senate to act swiftly to pass the Home School Graduation Recognition Act." thehill.com/opinion/educatio…

My Hot take: A parent’s rights do not disappear because a school labels a child, a caseworker opens a file, or a court proceeding moves behind closed doors. NYC’s education and child-welfare systems should never treat parental objections as obstacles to manage. Parents deserve notice, access to records, meaningful participation, and a fair opportunity to challenge decisions affecting their children. Special education is not a tool for silencing families or a child. Child protection is not a license to bypass due process. If institutions are confident in their decisions, they should withstand scrutiny. Transparency isn’t hostility. Accountability is the minimum. Parents are not inconveniences.

This is why I believe we must vote according to principles, values, beliefs, and integrity, not race, religion, or political party affiliation. I saw so many people happy that Muslims or Black Americans became mayors, governors, and senators. I am a proud Black woman, but representation alone does not guarantee accountability or good leadership. My experience navigating New York City’s public-school system, CPS, and homeschooling taught me that policies and institutional decisions can affect families’ rights, education, and lives. Leaders should be judged by what they stand for, the policies they advance, and whether their actions match their promises. Don’t simply celebrate who holds office. Ask what they believe, whom their decisions serve, and who is held accountable. I hope none of you experience buyer’s remorse. #VOTE #ElectionDay2026 #Elections2026 #ElectionDay #ElectionResults
Texas and Arizona "private" and homeschoolers are now under the thumb of radical leftist control. If only someone had warned them this would happen... oh wait you can buy the book & see what happens next. Wokeandweaponized.com

I knew this was coming. It’s just another way for Child Protective Services (CPS) to get involved, and I know how Public School Administrations like to weaponize CPS. Parents who homeschool should get homeschooling insurance, it’s supposed to protect you in situations like CPS home intrusions sent by the school. As I now know, if CPS has no warrant sign by a judge, you do not have your allow them in your home. It’s your Fourth amendment right. Also, when it’s time to periodically send your curriculum instructions and requirements to the school administrators which is quarterly, well in New York, make sure you do it by certified mail, and email if necessary. 💯💯
Homeschooling oversight that includes unannounced home visits or mandatory curriculum inspections is often framed as routine regulation, yet it functions as a warrantless search of a private home and family life - the exact kind of intrusion the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent. Why do you think they are pushing School Choice legislation so hard?

I can’t say I’m shocked by what journalist @SusanBEdelman reported. Based on my personal experience as a mother dealing with NYC Public Schools, I wouldn’t be surprised if @NYCSchools knew about these incidents and turned a blind eye. When my son was bullied at school, I initially assumed, as many parents would, that other students were solely responsible. In hindsight, I believe that when @NYCSchools target a child, it creates conditions that leave the child vulnerable to bullying. In one incident, my son was kicked in the head by a classmate after following his teacher’s instruction to sit on the floor. I have the October 2017 Online Occurrence Reporting System (OORS) report documenting the incident. What I witness as I now realize is that students, teachers, and staff are used against a targeted child. @NYCSchools Here are THREE things the @NYCSchools did: ⚠️February 2016–January 2018: I believe the circumstances surrounding my son’s bullying involved more than students’ misconduct. Ultimately, I withdrew him to homeschool. ⚠️June 2016–December 2019: The NYC DOE falsified and manipulated special education records, and subsequently weaponized CPS (ACS in New York City) against me, and used the fraudulent special educational records as a pretextual tool for Federal Funding. 💰 💵 💸 ⚠️December 2019–March 2020: My son was SECRETLY remove from my custody, despite being homeschooled, but to acquire additional federal funding under IDEA’s § 300.323's reevaluation requirements, the NYC DOE SECRETLY used a THIRD-PARTY petitioner and used CPS (ACS in New York City), as the real parties in interest at the Suffolk County Family Court. 💸 🤑💰 It took me FOUR YEARS to uncover the underlying involvement of NYC DOE and ACS.@NYCSchools @ACSNYC I don’t think this is an isolated incident. This is bigger than bullying. It demands accountability. #NYCDOE @TCCaucus @THECITYNY @SGNews123 @thegrade_ @noahharlan @LegInsurrection @nytimes @ChalkbeatNY @afcpress @STEMExcelNYC @WNYC @CitizenFreePres @America1stLegal @AFPfoundation @1210WPHT @VigilantFox @WGANNews @Timcast @CivilRights @hechingerreport
The principal of DreamYard Prep, the Bronx public high school where 15-year-old shooting victim Javits Frimpong was repeatedly bullied, changed his name from Anthony Santiago to Anthony Altu’ after multiple complaints of misconduct surfaced against him in 2024. Among accusations, he sexually harassed female teachers, rated faculty candidates by their looks, and pressured staff to falsify attendance records and school surveys. The DOE vowed to investigate the “deeply disturbing” allegations, but did not reveal the findings today. nypost.com/2024/06/14/us-new…

Let's talk about public education in New York. * New York ranks #17 in the US and spends $37,033 per student (and our inept NYC spends a whopping $44,000). * Florida ranks #3, spending $16,700 per student. usnews.com/news/best-states/… Why do we get so much less for our money?

Exactly! Make it make sense. Oh yeah, it doesn’t. 😕 😟 NYC Public Schools are making over $40K per student per year. Passing failing students on one hand. Committing special education fraud on the other hand. And weaponing CPS (ACS in New York City) against parents while secretly using special education and CPS (ACS in New York City) to SECRETLY enforce fraudulent special education records I disputed YEARS AGO. @NYCSchools A report card is supposed to communicate what a student has learned, not create an illusion of achievement. AS a parent who scrutinized my son's educational records, I know why accuracy and accountability matter. Parents should not have to discover years later that grades, assessments, or records failed to reflect a child's academic abilities. Geez, NYC Public Schools is COLLECTING that bank every which way they can. 💰 💵💃🏽 💸 🤑 🕺🏽@NYCSchools Imagine a public-school administration such as the NYC Public Schools NOT providing children with an education as an Educational Administration. Make it make sense. Oh yeah, it doesn’t. 😵‍💫 🤔 😕‍ @alexanderrusso @EricLDaugh @RightLineNews @NAACP_LDF @America1stLegal @CivilRights @NewYorkFBI @NYC_DOI @gatewaypundit @AEI @TheJusticeDept @stinchfield1776 @Deseret @FreeBlckThought @DailySignal @MHowellTweets @EpochTimes @AmThoughtLeader
Over $40K per student per year... It doesn't have to be this way. Change is possible.

“I looked back and discovered he was deemed ‘not proficient’ in math on a 7th-grade state exam.” I give our state exams much more weight than my children's report card grades. Grades have become meaningless in the public school system.
In a devastating 1rst-person piece, NYC education advocate and mom Adriana Aviles tells how her son received the highest grades in math throughout elementary and middle school in Queens’ District 26, the best in the city. Yet now in high school, she soon discovered, “He couldn’t solve basic algebra. He couldn’t do geometry. He couldn’t compute elementary-school fractions." “My shock soon gave way to heartbreak, then anger. The NYC education system had betrayed my son to make itself look better." “I failed too. I didn’t scrutinize his work closely or check his performance on state test scores because I figured if his report cards were good then everything was fine.” “I looked back and discovered he was deemed ‘not proficient’ in math on a 7th-grade state exam.” nypost.com/2026/10/31/us-new…

This is a HUGE PROBLEM. This is not simply a failure of standardized evaluation measures or teachers’ failure to record accurate grades. Teachers follow directions, and they are not the only people responsible for what appears in the Board of Education’s student portal. @NYCSchools I know because I experienced it. I submitted a two-page letter expressly rejecting my son’s speech-and-language-impairment classification because I genuinely disagreed with it. Despite my written objection, NYC Public Schools SECRETLY placed him in special education without my knowledge or consent, altered and backdated my disagreement letter from June 23, 2016 to December 18, 2015, and issued me FIVE special education case-closing letters over the span of two years. @NYCSchools This goes beyond grades or testing. It raises serious questions about parental consent, recordkeeping, transparency, and institutional accountability. In my experience, this was not a clerical mistake. I believe it was FRAUD. Parents deserve full transparency.

It’s really a disgrace that a kid and their family can be assured everything is fine by a child’s grades, and then be totally lacking in basic academic skills This is why we need some standardized evaluation measures, and some graded by ppl other than the teacher It’s the only way to have some consistent sense of what learning is(n’t) happening nypost.com/2026/10/31/us-new…

This issue is about same pattern of misconduct, different motive at the hands of the NYC Public Schools. The same thing happened to my son and I, but in reverse. When families are given an inaccurate picture of a child’s academic progress, they cannot make informed decisions or secure appropriate support. My own personal experience raises serious concerns about the accuracy, integrity, and use of my son’s educational records, including records maintained by NYC Public Schools despite my written objections. Altering a child’s educational records is ALWAYS bad. Schools must not confuse passing a class with proficiency or allow misleading records to shape a child’s educational path. Parents deserve transparent assessments, complete records, meaningful access, and accountability when information is inaccurate. Students deserve better.
And it’s not just her son. In all 32 NYC school districts, far more middle schoolers passed math class than were proficient on the state test.
