David Singer, a Selectman and Charlton resident, used the board’s community forum on March 25 to urge town leaders to press the school committee and superintendent about teaching materials and social-media posts he described as objectionable.

Singer told the Select Board he had attended a recent school committee meeting to ask whether the committee or the superintendent had taken action after the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) “released, blatantly antisemitic and pro‑terrorist propaganda as teaching materials,” according to Singer’s remarks. Singer said committee members appeared unaware of the materials but that the superintendent said he was aware and had not taken action.

Singer said that, in the days after the school committee meeting, he saw what he described as a school committee member’s social-media posts that “repost[ed] other posts in support of those who are guilty of instigating violence against others, against students, property damage” and that, in Singer’s view, such reposting was “not becoming of a school committee member.”

Singer asked the Select Board to consider whether the school committee and superintendent would issue a public statement condemning the materials and the social-media activity and to make clear that “this is still a no‑place‑for‑hate community.” He framed the request as relevant to upcoming school‑budget discussions.

The transcript records Singer’s concerns and his request to the board but does not include responses from the school committee or the superintendent, nor does it identify the school committee member Singer referenced. The Select Board did not take formal action on Singer’s request during the March 25 meeting; the comment was made during the public comment portion of the agenda.
