New Jersey is fast becoming an international laughingstock as news of its recent decision to end the basic-skills testing requirement for teachers makes international headlines. But of course, this should not be surprising: reading, writing, and math are hardly important when the goal is to dumb-down and indoctrinate rather than educate children.
Just this month, a new first—that I previously highlighted in 2023—went into effect, ending the requirement for teachers to prove they can read, write, and do basic math. The official reasoning is that the state is facing a massive shortage of teachers. Apparently, requiring basic educational skills was weeding out too many potential candidates.
The law, known as Act 1669, is clear: “The 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.”
Union bosses and Democrats led the charge. Blasting the “basic skills test” for teachers as a “barrier,” the New Jersey “Education” Association got the bill passed last year with overwhelming support from bought-and-paid for politicians. In 2023, the union boasted, they got rid of the Education Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA). “Now it’s time to eliminate another barrier: the basic skills test for teachers,” the union, an affiliate of the vicious National Education Association, told its members in an email urging them to get involved.
Ironically, the NEA and its state and local branches for years have been agitating against homeschooling. Among other supposed concerns, the totalitarian union bosses argue in multiple resolutions that parents are not “qualified” to teach their own children. The basic skills test that was just eliminated aimed at ensuring that teachers had 6th grade-level proficiency in the basics.[…]
