Simonelli is his own insider. He was on the SCSD's Equity Team. It's my understanding that he took suggestions for reading materials from COMMUNITY participants and passed them off as coming from the school board. Since Simonelli is running for office this year, it's clear to me that this was all a publicity stunt to further his own political career (at the expense of the children).
I grew up in St. James. Patio Pizza was my spot, at least twice a week. This depiction matches the culture of this town, of the district of Smithtown, and of Suffolk County. It is a powder keg, for sure! The culture is aggressive, often on the verge of violence, and racist, from coded to blatant. It is misogynist, homophobic, and transphobic, from coded to blatant. They are the loud minority, and they are organizing.
Any truth to these three being leaders of the alt-right group No Left Turn in Education? They're the ones who don't want grade schoolers learning about Ruby Bridges because "history should be taught without references to race."
This has to be a joke. So overly dramatic….I wonder if the author had a thesaurus open the entire time? It’s just another attempt to make Smithtown residents feel bad for working hard, not accepting handouts, being family oriented and highly educated and wanting to raise children in a safe neighborhood. We’re so horrible…

There was so much more to this, I should know, I'm the Patio Pizza girl.. It's been a long arduous journey but necessary.

This is the most ridiculous garbage I’ve read in awhile. Get a grip nod you’re going to write such garbage you should at least share your real name.
