More fallout at JFJ ... Susan Goffe walks

The fallout within Jamaicans for Justice since the sex-education scandal continues with the weekend resignation of influential board member, Susan Goffe.
Goffe’s departure follows last month’s resignations from the board by former executive director Dr Carolyn Gomes and Susan Evans.
Both Goffe and Gomes have been the public face of the organisation for many years.
Goffe says the JFJ’s retreat into silence on issues of national importance has pushed her to take the ultimate decision to leave the leadership of the organisation.
Goffe says her disagreement with the direction of the organisation began even before Kay Osborne was appointed as the new JFJ executive director.
The former JFJ spokesperson says it has also become clear that her opinion is not likely to impact on the JFJ’s approach to national issues.
In a television interview on JFJ’s unauthorised sex education course in children’s homes, Gomes had said the organisation needs to refocus and go back to its core methodology of consultation and treating people with respect.
Goffe says she agrees with Gomes.
