So New Jersey's going to hire illiterate school teachers???

How low into the depths of lunacy can the wokies/"liberals"/"progressives"/leftists/Democrats sink?

Is there any rock bottom?

We have always had classrooms where some students are smarter than the teachers. Some students are even geniuses, but they should not know more than the teacher about the subject that the teacher is teaching.

In Massachusetts they just declared that the state's high school grads must pass the "MCAS" test...which had existed for many years. The test was pretty comprehensive and gave us a pretty good idea of the students' overall intelligence and academic achievement.

So now a diploma from a Massachusetts high school will be even more worthless than it was before.

Ooops...should be “need not pass”. I guess I couldn’t pass it today!

It’s New Jersey. Does anybody really care? Does it make a difference?

Nothing new.

In 1982 I encountered two teachers who were illiterate.

They were the only teachers I encountered that year.

“Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, with huge support from the New Jersey Education Association, signed Act 1669, which removed the requirement for those seeking to become teachers to pass basic tests in reading, writing, and mathematics.”

This is just more evidence and proof that the radical, anti-America left have been working from within to weaken our country in various ways, in order to facilitate the agenda of their communist/globalist masters. This dumbing down of American children is just one more method they have used for decades.

The reason behind the dumbing down is two-fold. To decrease competition (stupid people can’t compete) and to make the masses easier to control (stupid people are easier to manipulate). And we have let them get away with it. That, like other things they have succeeded in doing “to” us, needs to come to a crashing, screeching halt. Go Trump.
