CampusSafety reports\u00a0New Jersey Teachers No Longer Required to Pass Basic Literacy Test<\/a><\/p>\n

New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy passed Act 1669 as part of the state\u2019s 2025 budget in June to address a teacher shortage, Read Lion reports. The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass the Praxis Core Test, a basic skills test for reading, writing, and math that is administered by the state\u2019s Commissioner of Education.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more teachers,\u201d Democratic Sen. Jim Beach, who sponsored the bill, said in May 2024 when the chamber cleared the bill in a 34-2 vote. \u201cThis is the best way to get them.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York, California, Arizona Lower Teacher Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2017, New York also scrapped its basic literacy requirements for teachers, noting it was meant to increase diversity among teachers.\u00a0<\/em>According to the NEA, only about half of New York students in grades three through eight tested proficient in English and math during the 2022-2023 school year despite the state spending almost twice the national average on education.<\/p>\n

California and Arizona also lowered requirements for teacher certification by implementing fast-track options for substitute teachers to become full-time\u00a0<\/em>educators and eliminating exam requirements to make up for shortages in the field that were worsened by the pandemic, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.<\/p>\n

Former Educator Gives Opinion on Eliminating Teacher Literacy Exams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Erika Sanzi, former educator and current director of outreach at\u00a0Parents Defending Education<\/a>, a national grassroots organization, spoke to the\u00a0National News Desk<\/a>\u00a0about why she is against Act 1669.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to know that the teachers union, specifically in this case, the NEA, pushes really hard for this.\u00a0I\u2019m a former member of the NEA in two states. Generally, whatever they push for, tends to be something that\u2019s not particularly good for students,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0said Sanzi.\u00a0\u201cThe NEA wants to eliminate all barriers to teaching because that increases their number of dues-paying members, and when that\u2019s your mission, student learning and quality control really aren\u2019t priorities at all and so that\u2019s a concern, for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Blue State Union Corruption<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blue state union corruption is obvious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But no place is worse than Chicago when it comes to making sure unions are first and kids are last.<\/p>\n

March 13, 2024:\u00a0Chicago Teachers\u2019 Union Seeks $50 Billion Despite $700 Million City Deficit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you live in Illinois, get the hell out before unions take every penny you have.<\/p>\n

July 2, 2024:\u00a0In Chicago There\u2019s Under a 50 Percent Chance Police Show Up If You are Shot<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Good luck in Chicago getting the police to show up if you are shot, stabbed, a victim of domestic violence, or any number of other serious crimes.<\/p>\n

November 25, 2024:\u00a0When Do Mayor Brandon Johnson and the City of Chicago Finally Implode?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago slashed 2,103 public safety job but added 184 administrators. The budget deficit is nearly $1 billion.<\/p>\n

December 23, 2024:\u00a0The Corruption and Incompetence of Chicago\u2019s Mayor Has No Bounds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson stepped to new lows when his hand-picked board fired Chicago Public Schools (CPS) CEO Pedro Martinez without cause.<\/p>\n

Diversity and Union Priority vs Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The New Jersey teachers\u2019 unions say the test is unneeded.<\/p>\n

But if the test not needed, then then every teacher would easily pass. Why do so many fail an easy test?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson sacrifices police, safety, and education for the sake of the teachers\u2019 unions.<\/p>\n

The Chicago mayor is easily the worst mayor in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
