This week, unignored protesters who rushed at their Manhattan mother this week during an education meeting in Offerle, which was undermined by constant interruptions by left-handed activists chanting “We shake you” and “my little light.”
The troubling incident happened Wednesday at a district 2 Community Education Council meeting on the Upper East Side.
“She charged at me, she banned the door with her body and she said I couldn't leave,” Maron said.
A fierce woman, parents of two trans children, and other protesters followed, passing through the building and through the school's yard.
“I'm used to the protesters and protesters who are very much against me. In fact, I support their constitutional rights – but the last CEC meeting was horrifying,” added Maron, an outspoken opponent of trans women who compete against biological women in sports.
“I wouldn't have been physically safe without the reinforced NYPD presence. I left the building and headed down the street.”
The incident was the latest in a year's turmoil by trans-trans activists at a CEC 2 meeting covering most of Manhattan's lower, midtown and the Upper East Side.
At last month's meeting, the group snatched their heads, attacked Day, and even danced “Macarena.”
They began when an advisory body for elected parents passed a resolution calling on the city's Department of Education to review policies that allow transgender girls to play sports.
On Wednesday, they wore face masks, Palestinian scarves and birthday hats to celebrate the first anniversary of the protest.
Jesse Mojica, assistant executive director of the DOE's Office of Family and Community Engagement, asked meeting attendees not to shout out speakers or councillors, and announced that school safety agents are seeking assistance.
However, parents say the DOE was unable to ensure safety at the meeting.
CEC 2 President Craig Slutzkin said despite meetings with the DOE on safety, the situation has become “unacceptable” and that parents are afraid to attend the meeting.
“The DOE needs to do something big to fix this,” he told the post. “Simply increasing the number of safety personnel did not prevent harassment.”
Maron is currently seeking help from Mayor Adams and U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.
“The ongoing harassment and threats put my safety and the safety of other council members at risk and hinder our ability to serve,” Maron wrote in a letter to McMahon on Saturday. “We are looking for your guidance to ensure our protection in these elected roles.”
She begged Adams to allow the council to move to remote meetings.
Maron also urged McMahon to advise NYC parents to “suffer” his refusal to debate to discuss how the 2019 gender guidelines affect female students and athletes, including replacing the DOE's “gender” with “gender identity.”
This “threate democratic participation and undermines the girl's right to fair treatment under federal law.”
She is seeking a review committee that includes female athletes and trans students.
The DOE and the mayor's office did not respond to inquiries from the Post.
