Roxbury, NJ parents, Kristen Cobo and Christina Balestriere stood up when the Roxbury school library began promoting sexually explicit books to children.

After becoming aware of a multitude of sexually explicit, vulgar books available to minor children in their public school district, these parents followed the appropriate steps to address their concerns. After speaking with the librarian and district administration proved to be ineffective, these mothers began speaking at Roxbury Board of Education meetings regarding their concerns; providing evidence as to why these books are inappropriate and pose a risk to the safety of minors. 

In response to the concerns raised by these parents, the school librarian doubled down and promoted these books, tweeting from the Roxbury Media’s page about “banned books week”, encouraging students to read these books.

When Kristen and Christina continued to speak up at school board meetings to exercise their First Amendment Right to petition to government at a public forum, the school librarian sued.  The librarian's husband is an attorney, so she is not paying legal fees.  This frivolous lawsuit is a transparent attempt to silence parents who stand up to question whether books with graphic sexual content should be promoted for reading by children.

It’s ironic that the same librarian who is claiming a First Amendment right to promote sexually graphic materials to children is suing Kristen and Christina for exercising the same rights!

Kristen and Christina have been involved since 2020 in the fight for parental rights in education. They have been actively educating parents and dedicating their time and energy to stand up for all of our children.

We understand that this case can lay the groundwork that protects other parents from having this happen to them in the future and want to help in any way possible. This case has not been dismissed as of May 23, 2023 and as a result, Kristen and Christina's legal fees are growing.

This fundraiser is organized by Coyle & Morris LLP, attorneys representing Kristen & Christina.  All funds donated will go to their legal defense.
