In this episode of “Irony Exacts Her Sweet Revenge”…
A 19-year-old, New Jersey high school graduate who said his senior year was ruined by “awful” COVID-19 shutdowns handily defeated an incumbent school board member in his local school board race this week.
According to Washington Examiner, Nicholas Seppy was a 2020 Egg Harbor Township High School graduate and beat Terre Alabarda 17-to-1. “Parents were not being listened to,” Seppy said, adding that he “wanted to give them a voice on behalf of their children.”
“Parents were not being listened to” Nicholas Seppy told @elfaddis, adding he “wanted to give them a voice on behalf of their children.”

After initially shuttering schools in March 2020, the Egg Harbor Township School District forced most of its students into entirely online learning or hybrid learning models — with very limited, in-person instruction for most of the 2020-21 school year.
Seppy echoed his comments in a statement to The College Fix, slamming the COVID shutdowns as “awful,” and saying he decided to run for a seat on the school board “out of a desire to serve in [his] community” and to “give parents a voice in the district.”
“Hybrid education was not yielding the enthusiasm in students they thought it would. [Specifically young students who missed] out on an entire year of education.”
Reality: School boards and powerful teachers unions didn’t Don’t be a foolWhat did students and their parents think about lockdowns? They didn’t care about the impact on students, especially young ones, who were prevented from learning in person by months after months of closed schools.
@NicholasSeppy calls the COVID school closures “awful, wants to give parents a voice, and promote vocational education. He was victorious by a wide margin. https://t.co/S880hrkOjW

It is a passion that I have for Egg Harbor Township, and it inspires me to be a role model for others. EHT will have a great reputation in terms of both the quality of our education and how efficient we manage our budget.
It would not have been possible without your help over the past two years. I want to express my gratitude. My opponent Ms. Terre Abarda deserves my gratitude for her strong and fair campaign.
To Egg Harbor Township I Love You and Will Do My Best to Represent You For Many Years to Come!I love you all!
Imagine how awesome it would be for this to spread throughout the country! School board members not only getting blistered by angry parents for draconian COVID lockdowns and CRT indoctrination but also by the very students affected — running in school board races and defeating left-wing school board members.
In related news, as we reported earlier, anti-CRT activist Christopher Rufo, in an interview with Fox News this week, ripped “deliberate” media lies that Critical Race Theory is not taught in schools across America.
“We shouldn’t be afraid of them,” Rufo told Fox News. “These people are resting on borrowed prestige from the past. They’re lighting on fire the credibility of their institutions.”
Nicholas Seppy, 19, proved that parents and students shouldn’t be scared of left-leaning school board members with their heavy-handed speech.
Perhaps, more teenagers could exact the sweet revenge Nicholas took.
