Amazing. The same folks who said it’s unconstitutional and tyrannical to put masks on children during a pandemic are now cheerleading the idea of wrapping kids in bulletproof blankets.

Reminder that active shooter drills are especially worthless now because the war on elementary schoolers has been going on for long enough that the active shooters also went through active shooter drills

School boards are custodians not free agents. And you can’t fire superintendents like you would fire a college football coach. When done for wrong reason, it demoralizes staff & teachers, & undermines the education the board claims it is protecting. politico.com/news/2022/11/3…

Is the earth flat? Some say it is, some say it isn't. They're both right, and yet both wrong. In the fog of our bifurcated politics, it's hard to say one way or the other. And does it really matter?

West Orange now receiving $34m of the ~$36m the SFRA says we should get from the state -- 95%, up from about the 31% we were at when I was elected in 2017. All credit and much gratitude to FFAC and Steve Sweeney for making S2 happen and for getting us to this point.

No, #WestOrange, taxes aren't going up 16%. That's a 1st draft number, not yet discussed by the town council or citizens budget advisory committee, & even if it stands, is a 16% increase on the ~26% of your taxes that go to the town. Math it up here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Why is NJ making high school juniors do a 2nd round of pointless NJSLA testing right in the middle of SAT/ACTs? How is this their top priority right now? Y'all lost your minds during PARCC & never got them back. Angelica Allen-McMillan Governor Phil Murphy Mila Jasey Vin Gopal pam lampitt NJEA

School shootings continue, kids feeling more disconnected and hopeless, skies choked with smoke as kids sit in crumbling buildings, chronic school underfunding, teaching less desirable profession than ever... And you're worried about some trans kid making the track team.

Here's what I think is happening: 1. The media, with low ratings, saw blood in the water after the debate and ran with sensational and inaccurate headlines to generate profit. They have admitted this. 2. That, in turn, influenced big money dem donors who then threatened to pull
