To the editor:
There are three seats available on the Board of Education; I urge everyone to support Jill Dillon write-in candidate for Board of Education for the third seat along with incumbents Lee Goldstein and Neil Philips.
As a past member of the Board of Education for eight years, three of which I was chair, I am deeply concerned about the candidacies of Camilo Riano and Jamie Fitzgerald to the Board of Education.
I have watched the very negative assaults that Camilo has made against our school system, our superintendent, administrators and teachers. There is no room in Westport for this kind of behavior.
His interview through CDM with Steve Bannon about the horrors of Westport is propaganda. Camilo is an editor for Creative Destructive Media, the mission of which is “incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one.”
Jamie, on the other hand, has never been seen at a BOE meeting and has demonstrated little knowledge of the school system during her League of Women debate.
Westport students, parents, teachers and administrators deserve Board of Education members who will serve Westport to ensure that students and staff receive the support they need.

“The very negative assaults”?!
Wow, if I were Mr. Riano, I would sue this blatant liar for a defamation.
The fact is that Mr. Riano has been attacked by local radicals who are constituents of democrats on BOE and not vice versa!
And so, these radicals attacked Mr. Riano and all other speakers who spoke against trashy “critical race theory”, communist “equity”, and pornographic comics on two displays at Staples.
Their attacks are precisely why most people are afraid to speak at BOE and other town meetings!
This is while Mr. Riano consistently stood his ground and asked for the removal of improprieties.
Also, I find it extremely selfish when locals who have raised and educated their children in the best school district in CT now want to change this district to unrecognisable extent.
We don’t want you to experiment on our children! We don’t want your porn! We don’t want your politics!
Our children need education not indoctrination conceived in ill minds of radical left.
There is no room in Westport for good people who speak the truth? What a perfect example Ms. Urist is of the current left wing…”Agree with us or do not speak”. Ms. Medina is absolutely correct about who is being attacked, it is Mr. Riano. He has plenty of evidence of “grooming”at the schools. As it is a disgusting negative thing to be doing he is forced to describe in a negative way. It is what it is. I keep asking leftists to explain to the parents of Westport why this type of “literature” is good for the kids.
