"Free to learn" at who's expense? How much did his education at Allied cost the taxpayers of Monmouth County? Running against budget cuts?

Welcome back Mike and Randy!

First of all, although he may have "ran" as a Socialist candidate, there were no party affiliations on the ticket. I suspect that if the Socialist label were there for all to see in the voting booth, his returns would have been considerably lower. Just my guess.

Second, the Socialist party is one thing (and bad enough), but this is the same candidate that has posted his picture in the past proudly standing in front of a hammer and sickle flag. Yes, the flag closely associated with the Communist Party. You know, the same symbol proudly flown by the Soviets as they committed mass murder and countless other atrocities. I hope those horrors will still make the history curriculum under Mr. Noble's tenure on the Board.

Anyone who affiliates himself with the socialist thought of mind has not worked 14 hour days, paid payroll taxes, property taxes, income taxes . They want their "fair" share off everyone else's blood, sweat and tears. Our country is in the crapper. I want everything for free too but was raised the right way.

A good reason to get involved and start going to the meetings and monitoring what is being done.

Why is it that Red Bank gets 3 BOE members when Little Silver & Shrewsbury only get 1? They don't send more students or more money than LS & Shrewsbury.

As of 2011- Population is as follows:
LS 5,956
Shrews- 3,813
RB- 12,206

I bet this put a big smile on Trinity Hall administration face

"...and I would like to work against budget cuts and help make students free to learn."
"make students free to learn"??? uh oh...

Where exactly does Mr. Noble think the money comes from? Are teachers now volunteering? I'd love to read a more encompassing (and grammatically correct) statement from Mr. Noble concerning this topic.

About two years ago the black fist of the socialist movement poster was hanging in the hallways of RBR. My son notified me and when I called the school I was told they did not notice them displayed. I confirmed what my son told me with other parents who confirmed their children also saw them hanging on the walls. . The logo of a black fist showing power is similar to the Black Panthers logo... Let us all remember Trooper Foerster who was executed because he was white by the Black Panthers. This is only one of the many reasons I choose to school my youngest at home. I choose to teach him that we live in a wonderful democratic country called America that many men and women fight and die to protect the system our founding Fathers set up. I wonder why so many want to change our wonderful country. Actually I would hope they get the hell out if they don't like our system. I for one would give them a ride to the airport or border and happily wave bye-bye.

Best wishes to comrade Noble. The capitalist middle men are taking the surplus that workers produce. It is time to cut out that middle man. To readers: to not give in to the lies about taxes. Socialists favor lower taxes on the vast majority of the 99%.

Socialism: good enough for Eugene V Debs, Albert Einstein, Helen Heller, Bertrand Russel, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, George Orwell, WEB DuBois, A. Phillip Randolph, Oscar Wilde, Edward Bellamy, Cornel West, Jeremy Scahill, John Dewey, Erich Fromm, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, and Upton Sinclair.

Good enough for me!

I am not surprised that a socialist won such a seat, but what we need to know is what has changed in education since the 1940's until today. Education and all its associated institutions were once very different and not as liberal.

Most of the history books used in public schools to teach our children, and used in colleges and universities to train future teachers... are written from the perspective of the winners... those empire builders equipped with better guns, horses, and diseases. Few, if any, discuss the struggles of the conqueored. The socialist movement 100 years ago was proximate cause to many of the social programs and reforms in force today... which are slowly being whittled away. Anyone here know about ALEC? or the NDAA?

The NDAA.. serious questions have come up regarding Obama giving himself additional powers to kill any American at anytime he feels they are a threat to our country. He has made himself every American Citizens judge, jury and executer.

Actually, NDAA has had enthusiastic bi-partisian support and belongs to the office holder. I'll Bombya expanded the powers (and practices) introduced by BushCo and the public authors of the new world order. There are many things to be worried about. If you are in the top 2% of wealth, you should be worried about democratic socialism.

I like the idea of Green Drinks, and participated in one in RB a year or so ago at the Molly Pitcher. I'm not quite sure how the reply feature works on this blog, so sorry for the confusion. My grandparents fled the Ukraine due to intolerable conditions. They knew the difference between the original Bolshevics and then later the Communist Party and its tight control (in the hands of a few) of tools of industry and production, natural resources, etc which is antithetic to an economic democracy as espoused by democratic socialists. I am for doing away with labels... some people have mistakenly referred to me as a Liberal. I am not. Let me know when Green Drinks are on again.

GOD HELP US!!

All of you sound intelligent and reasonable, despite differing perspectives. Looking forward to meeting you at any future RBR school board meeting, as well as working with Patrick

Atlee Yarrow? lol He hasn't been clear on this page but Atlee obviously has a special problem with the SP. here's some back ground from his own campaign website: Atlee joined the SP-USA in late 1999 during the election campaigns in neither candidate did he see his values.
As a Socialist politician he was expelled from the Socialist Party of the United States of America on June 9, 2007 during the Socialist Party of Florida’s state convention without charge or notice via kangaroo court held by Marc E. Luzietti with only new party members being invited. Luzietti has been an outspoken atheist during both public and private events and it is believed that Atlee's Christian Social values played a role the personal attack that launched Luzietti into negative action to destroy and rebuild from within the SPFL." heheheh "it is believed"

i don't care what party he may or may not be, but don't you think their should be some requirements to be on the Board of Ed? how about a college degree? or experience as an educator? this is a joke

Shouldn't you have to have a college degree to sit on a High School board? As a RBR grad I am completely embarrassed by this. This loser is using RBR's board to pollute the community with his Socialist B.S.. Pat, try getting a college degree then a real job. Pay some taxes then come back with your radical crap.

We need to wake up., these radical anti US are infiltrating our government locally and nationally.

What is happening to our country is because too many turned their heads.

Well David Petrovich, how would a "true economic democracy" work? In case after case, the people have spoken in each election; therefore, "the majority" have spoken in democratic fashion on a great many issues. I find when the word "true" is used, it becomes an abuse and agenda having zero basis in facts or figures. Now if you or others care to present an actual case, then do so.

What a tired, ill-informed comment, Atlee. Only half the eligible voters cast a ballot and the vote is usually split. The problem is that both major partties, the corporate owned and controlled parties offer basically the same choices... so the vote, in my opinion, has become a meaningless charade. Whichever corporate shill wins, we still have war, poverty, and all of society's ills.

Can I point to an actual. modern example of a working, economic and social democracy? No. Our forefathers and foremothers when devising their new society were forced to consider the ancients for their model. Today, we need a new paradigm. The good news is History is on our side. We have the tools and talents. Like our forefathers & mothers, we can envision a new way to live in harmony with nature & with others, for the benefit of the majority, with equal rights for all. Necessity is the Mother Of Invention.

@David, what irony, in past history of communistic countries the half that wanted to vote in dictatorships were mass murdered. Sadly, the half in America who don't vote, often don't care either way as long as their sphere of influence "bubble" is not popped.

If history is on your side here, then world is in big trouble. Socialism has been trying to get out of hypothesis to a theory into a working model for one hundred and fifty years now? All attempts have been massive failures. Where people come together in social events and actions might be a place to start, but socialization begins at home where the family invents the person we each become, not how we interact.
