A Jersey City Board of Education meeting just got out of hand when one mother, Emily Pecot was taken into police custody and charged with disorderly conduct. At the time, Pecot and other parents were expressing their frustrations regarding special education programs and the amount of screen time students are exposed to in the classroom.
Per the NY Post, the situation got heated, escalating until police officers were forced to intervene. The officers marched in, stood Pecot up, placed her in handcuffs, and escorted her out of the building as onlookers shouted “shame on you” at the board members.
