Carla Katz, the president of the Communications Workers of America, a union representing social workers in New Jersey testified at the hearing (before a Congressional committee)
. In her remarks, President Katz stated the following: "Home schooling creates gaps. Nearly 20% of all abuse cases are reported by schools. When children are outside the school system, extra protections are critical. There are no home schooling regulations that would require homeschooled children to see anyone from the public education system. There is no cross-referencing with the Department of Education to look for children who are in the 'system' but have not been seen by anyone." This is the same Carla Katz who was the mistress of Senator Jon Corzine and who may have been the reason the senator divorced his wife of over 30 years. Her services to the multimillionaire senator were rewarded by his forgiving a $450K mortgage loan to her. While she decries potential abuse on the part of homeschooling parents, it appears she has no qualms about being a marriage wrecker and a paid harlot.
