The New Jersey Public Education Coalition is a non-partisan group of educators, administrators, municipal leaders, parents, and concerned citizens who seek to protect our public schools and communities from right-wing extremism.

Across the country and here in New Jersey, radical right Political Action Committees (PACs) and their supporters are succeeding in disrupting our communities and attacking our public schools.

As right-wing extremists continue to gain seats on our school boards, they are attacking our teachers, librarians, and administrators, forcing hard-working, qualified educators to resign. They are attacking our children's education with hate, intolerance, and racial bias; attempting to whitewash American history and ban award-winning books; and sowing division and pain in our communities. 

NJPEC began as a Facebook Group for parents, educators, and citizens to come together to organize in each municipality, fight disinformation, and support qualified common sense elected officials and school board candidates. 

Right-wing extremist organizations along with elected GOP officials are actively recruiting, training, endorsing, and funding school board candidates and they are invigorated by their success in 2022.
