NJ Republicans Parody Hateful NJEA Commercial, Union Files Copyright Claim

TRENTON, NJ – The New Jersey Republican Party released a video parodying and mocking the hateful NJEA advertisement that called New Jersey parents upset with the direction of education as extremists.

In the video, Republicans mock the NJEA, claiming children belong to the union, not the parents.

Within 24 hours, the video was removed from YouTube, claiming a copyright violation filed against the NJ Republican Assembly Caucus by the powerful teacher’s union.

In a parody ad released on YouTube Wednesday, the Assembly Republican Office in Trenton slams the state’s teachers’ union for its latest 15-second TV commercial calling outspoken parents “extremists.” The parody, “If the NJEA was honest in its commercials,” says the New Jersey Education Association has the radical agenda, not parents.


Today, the video remained on Facebook.


While we can’t show you the parody video, we can show you the actual hateful and divisive video published by the NJEA last week, which would be funny, if not scary.

“Stop resisting our agenda and accept that you have no control over your children’s education. To all the radical extremist parents out there, back off. We are the NJEA,” reads the spoofed voice-over.

The union quickly moved to remove the video from the internet, working overtime this weekend to file copyright claims to silence the dissent by Republicans.

“Rightfully concerned parents and conservatives have been pushing back against the state’s new sex education standards that require students in grades K-12 to learn about sodomy and gender identity. The NJEA used its commercial to accuse parents at school board meetings of being extremists and Republican-sponsored legislation protecting a parent’s right to be involved in age-appropriate education as anti-LGBTQ,” the GOP said.

Assembly Republicans, including Assemblymen Christian Barranco, Sean Kean, Hal Wirths, Christopher DePhillips, Parker Space and Jay Webber, have pending legislation (A3763, A3883 and ACR21) that addresses parental rights and consent, grade-appropriate curriculum and revising the controversial learning standards.
