Extremist Liberal School Board Members & Candidates Help Shine a National Light on Somers for All the Wrong Reasons

Last Week, local liberals (including school board members/candidates) gathered to protest Congressman Mike Lawler at Kennedy High School. The protest, and one unruly liberal in particular, managed to garner national attention for the Town of Somers.
Legacy media outlets like CNN, Newsweek, USA Today, ABC, NBC (and more) all mentioned the Town of Somers in their coverage of the Town Hall. The articles and videos all focused on an activist being removed from the event by NY State Troopers. All the coverage was (not surprisingly) sure to mention the age (64) and occupation (social worker) of the unruly guest in their headlines, and attempted to make it seem that she was somehow just randomly selected to be carried out by the police. She did nothing wrong, but was carried out by Troopers? What are the odds?
Is this what we're looking for from our current and prospective school board members? Bringing national attention to our community in such a negative light seems completely inappropriate for school board trustees. These are the people we want making decisions for our children?
The same crew was recently spotted protesting Trump and Elon Musk in the center of Mount Kisco...as well as the local Tesla dealership afterwards.

This isn't a new trend mind you. I'm sure you saw the "Academics Not Activism" lawn signs that popped up a few years back. Those signs were a direct response to current radical BOE President Amanda Kandel and her squad up to their usual "radical" tricks. See below:

Those lawn signs were called "disgusting" by the left. What's actually disgusting is the picture above, on a multitude of levels. The outdoor masks are a particularly nice touch. It was nice of them to pass that little "scientific" gem on to our kids in school.
Keep these people out of our schools! Keep their politics away from our children! Be sure to vote Rinaldi, Ritacco & Vala on May 20th. No more activists, only academics for Somers kids!
