NJ teachers union ad attacking parents as 'extremists' a 'pull from the playbook': School board candidates

Medford Township Board of Education candidate Kristen Sinclair and Camden County School Board candidate Eric Simkin blast the New Jersey Education Association for labeling parents 'extremist.'

The New Jersey chapter of the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in America, posted the short ad on YouTube. The ad flips back and forth between colorful photos of teachers with students and black-and-white photos of parents, arguing that the latter are trying to fuse politics with education.

"When extremists start attacking our schools, that’s not who we are," the video says. "People who only want to fight to score political points should take that somewhere else."
