Letter to the Editor: A Battle Is Won, But The War Is Far From Over:

Statement from Get Up, Stand Up: East Ramapo regarding Klein's resignation

Let’s celebrate the resignation/firing of arguably one of the most incompetent “educators” of all time... but at the same time, we need to remain vigilant in our fight against this reckless board. Klein may be gone, but Yehuda Weissmandl still holds the reins to both the board and this district. The board president may have faux-praised him tonight, but it’s only a matter of time before the board starts using Klein as their own scapegoat.

We see from this that the overwhelming public pressure and media attention generated by our protests were indisputably effective. In that vein, we will continue to employ these and other methods in our efforts to hold this board accountable and to bring true justice to East Ramapo.

We welcome this positive step forward and look forward to the next one: the resignation or removal of the entire board.
