Hypocrite Matthew Giacobbe Did Everything Possible to Attack My Free Speech Rights Regarding this Personal Blog After I Exposed His Dishonest Practices. Meanwhile He Has Been Defending another Board Member’s Anti-Semitism as a First Amendment Right…

Westfield School Board VP Refutes Ethics Complaint Alleging Antisemitism | Westfield, NJ News TAPinto

From the article:

“Giacobbe writes in the motion to dismiss that those who filed the complaint aim to “create a chilling effect for both board members and scholars such as Aziz from engaging in actions and speech that are within their First Amendment rights.”

The Board member being defended by Giacobbe clearly shared disgusting, antisemitic beliefs.  Being she is a Rutgers Law Professor does not make it any better.  Many professors are hate filled whackos.

Matthew Giacobbe clearly has no problem defending antisemitism as long as he can make money doing so.

Matthew Giacobbe is a big hypocrite on most subjects but especially free speech.

After I exposed Matthew Giacobbe’s dishonest practices and billing on this blog, he tried to have the Lodi Board of Education hire his former law partner to go after my blog one week before an Election.  Of course, using Lodi tax dollars.

Giacobbe’s bills approved by the Lodi Board of Education also show that he had Mark Wenzcel contacting Kathryn Whalen at the School Ethics about my blog after the SEC had been siding with me and before it flipped.


Summary:

Matthew Giacobbe believes the post below is NOT a First Amendment right for Board members.  This blog post set him on the war path to go after me and this blog:

Lodi By The Numbers: Once Again, Lodi was Deceived and Taken Advantage by a Politician Run Law Firm (Post Date: September 18, 2019)… (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)

Matthew Giacobbe believes that posting Antisemitic statements and even signing the documents described below is a First Amendment right of Board members:

“The complaint also argues the board vice president’s signing of a document called “Palestine & Praxis: Scholars for Palestinian Freedom” shows “hatred and prejudice against Israelis, Jews and people supportive of the existence of the Jewish state (i.e., Zionists).”  The signed document includes a commitment to “pressuring our academic institutions and organizations to respect the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel.”

It Has Been Alleged that Matthew Giacobbe Was Illegally Billing Westfield to OPRA the Emails of the Westfield Superintendent and Other Board Members...

In Lodi, OPRA requests were submitted for Matthew Giacobbe's legal invoices.  "Giacobbe" redacted them to the point that they were unreadable. 

In Lodi, OPRA requests were submitted for Nancy Cardone's emails. "Giacobbe" redacted to the point of being unreadable.

"Giacobbe" illegally redacted a separation agreement that is public record.

"Giacobbe" even redacted a basic annual audit.

Giacobbe has the audacity to file OPRA requests using public funds while blocking members of the public from access to those very same public records.  

Matthew Giacobbe believes he gets to determine who can and cannot use the Open Public Records Act.



Matthew Giacobbe Didn't Only Defend and Even Praise a Board Member Spewing Hateful Antisemitism. It is Alleged that Giacobbe Also Helped that "Law Professor" Retaliate Against Other Board Members Using Westfield Tax Dollars.

Matthew Giacobbe should be forced to reimburse the taxpayers of Westfield for every dollar he billed the district for opposition research on other Board members that had nothing to do with the ethics complaint pertaining to his client's Antisemitic posts and activities.

Matthew Giacobbe's dishonest billing must be called out and ended. His retaliatory practices must never again be funded with tax dollars.  He must be held accountable at some point despite how many members of the New Jersey legislature he makes partner at his politician run firm.
