## Resource

A Jersey City school board meeting erupted into chaos when a parent with a child with special needs was arrested during public comment, sparking outrage from Councilwoman Eleana Little, who called the arrest unacceptable and demanded restored speaking time and stricter removal policies. Two other trustees backed her stance, but Board President Noemi Velazquez fired back with personal attacks, calling Little’s views “uniformed” and accusing her of “avenging syndrome,” while dodging engagement over the holiday weekend. Little responded publicly, calling Velazquez’s reply disrespectful and indicative of a broader pattern of dismissive leadership — revealing a deepening rift between community advocates and school board officials over the value of public input.
