Blue state teachers don't need no education anymore, no longer need to pass a basic literacy test
To edumacate the future generation, the Garden State has decided that teachers do not need to prove they are the least bit competent, as New Jersey has ended certain skill test requirements for teachers.
We need you to take action! Last year, NJ eliminated the edTPA, a barrier to becoming a certified teacher. Now it's time to eliminate another barrier: the basic skills test for teachers. Urge Gov. Murphy to sign S1553 right away. #WEareNJEA https://t.co/XH694Vq7Eq

According to Fox News:
Teachers in New Jersey will no longer be required to pass a basic reading, writing and mathematics test to be eligible for public schools, according to a new law.
LOL. What could possibly go wrong?!
Act 1669, which was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy, D., in June, went into effect on Wednesday at the start of the new year. The law aims to tackle teacher shortages in the state by removing what the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), a teachers’ union, called a "barrier" to certification in 2023.
Call me crazy, but I doubt hiring incompetent teachers who cannot even pass an already easy test will benefit students.
The law states, "[T]he State Board of Education shall not require a candidate seeking a certificate of eligibility, a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing, a provisional certificate, or a standard instructional certificate to complete a Commissioner of Education-approved test of basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills including, but not limited to, the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators test, in order to obtain a certificate of eligibility, a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing, a provisional certificate, or a standard instructional certificate."
"We need more teachers. This is the best way to get them," Democratic state Sen. Jim Beach argued when the bill was passed.
Question: How can teachers help students pass basic math and English if they struggle?
Answer: They can’t.
Lowering standards does not make sense since New Jersey is already one of the states with the highest-paid teachers, with the average teacher salary being $81,102. That is over $10,000 on the national average.
That being said, if educational excellence is the goal, lowering standards for “educators” is the last thing these people should do. However, because math is racist, this is probably the best they can do.- YouTubewww.youtube.com
