We’re seeing some wild moves by schools lately. As we reported, there was action by the Vanguard School in Colorado booting a 12-year-old kid out of class for having a Gadsden Flag on his backpack. The school caved after the public backlash and young Jaiden’s standing up for his rights has now encouraged kids who want to put up the flag on their lockers.
But there are a lot of issues in schools, as James O’Keefe shows in his latest video.
It gives one a view into the psychological take on how a school board in Livingston, New Jersey deals with citizens who might want to voice concerns. It is not a positive look. It’s a look through body cam videos that the O’Keefe Media Group was able to obtain from the police that revealed the conversations between the school board and the police.
The video appears to show a Livingston school official talking to an officer who is wearing a body cam. The official, the executive assistant to the Superintendent, tells the officer that they called the police because they didn’t recognize the people, She didn’t think they looked like “Livingston,” and she thought they looked “Trumpish.”
BREAKING: Police bodycam footage shows NJ School Board officials calling police on citizens they don’t recognize who look “TRUMPISH!” Police colluded with school officials to scan license plates of all attendees who looked 'different'.

POLICE: 'I don't answer to journalists.' pic.twitter.com/9cVIlINwwA
The officer is perhaps unintentionally funny, he asks if she thinks they are something like “Antifa” or something along those lines. He gets who is dangerous while the official is concerned they might be “Trumpish.” But the citizens are part of O’Keefe Media Group including James O’Keefe.
O’Keefe told the police he was a journalist. Then the officer went back in and the body cam revealed that he said to them, he “could care less” that O’Keefe was a journalist, he should worry about his town, “He can be a journalist all he wants, I don’t answer to [him].”
O’Keefe notes the officer apparently forgot he was wearing a body cam that caught all this. He chastised the officer saying that he doesn’t answer to citizens/citizen journalists. He notes that the Open Public Meetings Act in New Jersey ensures that the public can attend all school board meetings, regardless of where they live.
At one point, the officer also offered to run the license plates of the citizens. Another school official says she got video of everyone in the parking lot and the officer says, “I can run the plates.” That’s concerning when they haven’t committed a crime or even done anything apart from being unfamiliar and “Trumpish.” Then he says he just starts “scanning” all the plates, even those not related to the O’Keefe group.
How they dealt with the O’Keefe group is so wrong, it’s an open public meeting — any member of the public is welcome. Then, stereotyping people and deeming them suspicious seems the opposite of what they would allegedly be pushing in a diversity and inclusion class. So what are they trying to say here about “Trumpish” people?
O’Keefe described how he then followed up with the Livingston Police Department and Captain Tom Smith. O’Keefe says he has more videos coming about what was said about all this.
If government officials, school board members, and police don’t answer to citizens who do they answer to? Why are they so scared of sunlight? What are they hiding? Share your stories with us at OMG: https://t.co/jFNgLldYMy

So stay tuned, more to come.
What was so bad about a journalist asking or receiving information from a school board meeting? These school officials have been trying to take charge of the children for decades. The lying liberals making accusations about people looking “Trumpish” is a joke. They are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill but it’s transparent as to what they are implying. They are stirring the pot and then putting themselves as the victim, won’t work. It’s all a lie that they are so desperate for control. The other video shows a man who is concerned about inappropriate books in the school’s library but he was told to stop and they had the police remove him. More parents need to step up and take the bull by the horns, these school officials dont have the rights over your children! If you give them an inch they will take a foot. Children need parental guidance not some jackass that doesn’t make sense but will indoctrinate them to destroy their lives.
Just another commie city in New Jersey.
These are the human trash that are hurting our children.
