Testa writes, “instead of focusing on the things that matter to parents and their children, such as recouping grave learning losses due to draconian shutdowns of our schools, the NJEA felt it was worthwhile to host a drag queen story hour and invited irrelevant social justice warriors Nikole Hannah Jones and David Hogg to speak.” Testa explains to Dom why he felt the need to pen the column, pointing to the prioritization of political issues over something like strategizing with teachers to reduce and make up for the monumental loss of learning during the Coronavirus pandemic.
