Fort Lee High School teachers Fathia Balgahoon & Stephen Wolowitz confiscated students' cellphones and proceeded to:
- tell students Hamas is an "armed resistance movement"
- characterized the pro Hamas, anti-Israel campus protests as "peaceful"
- fed them misinformation like the "green map"
The poisoning of young high school minds must NOT be allowed to spread like cancer like it has on college campuses.

I am proud to sign a first-in-the-nation, bipartisan law to equip NJ students with tools to identify fact from fiction.
K-12 media literacy education will empower future leaders to accurately assess information — essential in preserving our democracy in a time of disinformation.

Just n fyi 4 all you young NJ high school baseball players. @RutgersBaseball is the real deal. Going 2 a bigger school doesn’t necessarily mean u will get better opportunities. Stay at home where u belong. We get the same looks as these other schools. Take pride in where ur from

In recent years, we've seen how quickly disinformation spreads, especially on social media. This has created real challenges for our democracy.

33 years ago, my wife and her family escaped Soviet Ukraine as refugees of religious persecution. Jews had no future there, no hope of true citizenship.
Now I keep thinking about the inspiring leadership of Ukraine’s Jewish president.
Democracy is worth protecting.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We must never forget the horrors of that time, or the events that made them possible. The sheer scale of death, of men, women, and children murdered in horrendous fashion. We must stare into the truth without blinking.

It was my honor to kick off the 2021 @njasl School Librarian Convention in Atlantic City last night. School librarians are absolutely vital(!) to the success of our best-in-the-nation public schools. ALL students deserve access to school libraries!

A dad bought a gun 4 days ago. His 15-year-old son takes the gun and kills 3 people. The son was arrested and refused to cooperate. The dad (gun owner) hires a lawyer to protect his son from being treated as an adult. Fu@k the dad, the son, and the system that allows this.

If your town’s schools do not have certified #schoollibrarians speak out at your BOE meetings. Consistent presence at Springfield’s led to $ being allocated to update library collections & possible renovation of space. We will attend & speak until there are librarians hired
We were patient during the pandemic but finally went back in person last nite to plead to our board to please 🙏hire librarians in our k-8 schools 🏫 ! @NJASL @njla @bibliobeth @LHSMediaCenter #springfieldnj #informationliteracy #digitalliteracy #springfieldNJ

Don’t wait to vaccinate your grade-school kids against Covid-19!
CDC approves Pfizer-BioNTech for ages 5-11.
Here’s why I wouldn't delay.

It defies logic that as we've been witness to impacts of misinformation & have seen a decline in reading we're seeing cuts to #schoollibrarians & #schoollibraries @seccardona @neatoday @DrBiden @njasl @njea @ALALibrary @EveryLibrary @https://tinyurl.com/edsurgeslide @EdSurge

U.S. Senator @CoryBooker sent a special congratulatory message to grads. "Berkeley College Class of 2021, the Class of grit, and guts, and greatness...You have told the world that you are not defined by what happens to you, you are defined by how you choose to respond,” he said.

why are school districts cuting positions, when this document from US DOE clearly states that ESSER funds can be used to prevent layoffs? See page 5 oese.ed.gov/files/2021/03/FI… @NJASL @NJEA @NewJerseyDOE @DrAllenMcMillan @Nj21United @NJPSA @NJASANews

As we continue to celebrate National School Library Month, we continue to lift up the voices of our school librarians who bring learning to life for children. Every child deserves a school with a certified school librarian! #SchoolLibraryMonth @NJASL

Wrapping up National Library Week by delivering some cupcakes to our White House librarians.
Libraries have gone above and beyond this pandemic to adapt to our changing world and serve our community. Whether you’re visiting in person or virtually, thank a librarian today.
