My cousin’s aunt was just run over by one in Harrison. Unlicensed, but he stayed on the scene, so they let him go. Stupid sanctuary policy means you can’t hold him.

So, he's breaking the law by being here illegally, and he's breaking the law by not having a driver's license...? Well, of course they had to let him go. Wouldn't want to make a potential Democrat vote angry now, would we?

As a further update... It's a well know fact that the Teachers Union hates standardized testing (proficiency exams) for students. (Because it shows what the students have really learned and how well the teachers are or are not teaching). Since they were one of Murphy's biggest campaign contributors we just learned what those contributions cost. Gov Murphy last week signed into law a law axing 4 state exams for high school students, abolishing 4 of the most difficult tests. Algebra II, Geometry, as well as English in both the ninth and eleventh grades. Only the Algebra I and 10th grade English tests remain - for now.

Oh, and to cut the time for the last two tests by 25%, reduce the weight of the exams in teachers evaluations.... And lower high school graduation requirements. So where before a passing score was 60%, now it's going to be 50%.

So let me put this into perspective. Instead of raising the level of the students, Gov Murphy is actually lowering it and by doing so rewarding the inferior teachers that should be fired. Gotta love how the Dems think. Dumb students = more on welfare = more votes. And we, the taxpayers, get to pay some of the highest taxes in the NATION for this bull$hit!!

My wife is a teacher, and I can tell you many of those test's NEED to go. All teacher's have time to do is teach the test anymore. Everything is centered around those test's. How much funding the school get's, bonus's, school supplies, how long the achool year can be, when they go back, and so much more. In Florida at least(I know several other states also), Pearson is the one writing all these test's, and guess who annonomously sits on there board? None other than Jeb Bush. Guess who signed in and started all these test's in Florida when they were Governor? You guessed it, Jeb Bush, and it has become the national pattern for no child left behind.

So getting rid of some of these test's is not neccesarily a bad thing. And I know you're going to say, but the test's measure how effective the teacher's are. In reality they don't, all they measure is how well the kid has listened to the same test material drilled into there head over and over again while normal teaching curriculum is ignored. Teacher's now just teach the test all year long while much of the curriculum is ignored because they know it's not on the test. Teacher's have had it drilled into there heads by administration, TEACH THE TEST AND ONLY THE TEST!, that way they can get there school grade up, and get more funding.

And if these test's are so great, answer me why charter schools are exempt from doing them?

Agree with ya ferm, my wife was a teacher for 15 years, school administrator for 10 years and county level administrator for 10 years, retiring in Dec. she s been on the classroom side and the management side. My daughter is a middle school civics teacher (6 years), so i hear all sides of it.

Jeb Bush and charter schools have pretty much gutted public education in florida. They feed at the public trough, but don t have to play by the public rules. Schools are being divided into the haves and the have nots.

I'm with y'all.
