School Board Drama: Meeting Cancelled Amid Controversial Text Scandal

In Marlboro, New Jersey, the school board has decided to postpone its upcoming meeting. The reason? Safety concerns, according to Brian Cohen, the board president. This decision has sparked quite a bit of debate among other board members and parents. Parents have been organizing peaceful protests on social media, showing their dissatisfaction. The last meeting was quite intense, lasting six hours, with many parents demanding the resignation of two board members. These members, including Vice President Chad Hyett, are accused of being part of a group chat that targeted fellow board member Danielle Bellomo. The group chat, named "ThisBitchNeedstoDie, " included some very offensive messages. One of these messages, allegedly from board candidate Scott Semaya, was particularly harsh. Semaya quickly withdrew from the race after this message became public. Mitesh Gandhi, husband of board member Aditi Gandhi, is also accused of participating in this chat. The scandal gained national attention, even catching the eye of Sen. Ted Cruz, who called it "wrong" and "evil. " Parents have expressed their concerns on social media, suggesting that the decision to cancel the meeting might be due to shame or fear of community backlash. The Marlboro Police are still investigating the alleged threats against Bellomo. This situation has certainly brought a lot of attention to the school board and its members.
