You knew this was coming. The student proficiency test scores in Camden have sunk like a rock.A statement by the Camden County School said publicity, staffing changes and other factors could have affected the students' performance on the tests. Concerns about the possibility of cheating heightened last week with the release of plummeting district test scores. Education experts say a wider probe

Sometimes you just have to laugh when you realize just how low the ethics bar has been set for Democratic candidates in New Jersey. Newsday has this gem from the Associated Press about the U.S. Senate race between Tom Kean and Bob Menendez.At the moment, the Kean campaign is attempting to portray Menendez as a corrupt power broker. Several prominent Hudson County Democrats have been convicted or

Blogger has been giving me fits lately. Every time I tried to post I got nowhere, so I gave up trying the past few days.

There are at least two sides to most issues and I like to learn as much as possible before I even begin to form an opinion. I’ve lived long enough to know some issues are pure hype, fads actually. They come and they go, although not always without wrecking havoc before being abandoned.I am starting to believe manmade “global warming” is one of those fads. I won’t go in to all my reasons for being

Her current base salary is $185,483.Knox collected the bonuses for 2004 and 2005 after submitting requests to the business office that said the district had met performance goals.According to the state, Camden has not met state standards

Speaking of an inconvenient truth. Democrats, progressives, liberals or whatever you preferred label have been blowing smoke for nearly fifty years:Both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had a higher percentage of Congressional Republicans voting for their enactment than the percentage of Congressional Democrats.As for black economic advances, the most dramatic

Dr. Sanity writes: “That's what it has come down to. Either you do it the "progressive" way; or they will label you as vermin and attack you with all the firepower of their rhetorical armament.

Congressman William Jefferson (D-La.) was caught on tape accepting $100,000 in bribes. Several days later the FBI found $90, 000 of the marked bills in Jefferson’s freezer. Two of his former aides have already pleaded guilty to participation in a bribery conspiracy.Given such compelling evidence and Democrats' “culture of corruption” election strategy, it’s not surprising that House Minority

The Michigan Department of Education is attempting to ban the word "America" and "American" from its public schools.The Department of Education asserts that "Americans" includes Mexicans, Canadians and others in the Western Hemisphere, so referring to U.S. residents as Americans is inappropriate.According to the department, before the American Revolution, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas

I don’t know how old Author Raymond Abbott was in 1981 when he sued New Jersey Education Commissioner Fred G. Burke for a thorough and efficient education. I figure if Abbott started his lawsuit when he was in the first grade, about 6 years-old, he’s now at least thirty-one. Is this guy ever going to finish school?Today, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued another new ruling ordering the state

Democrats should have been honest and above board with their efforts to unseat New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin for his pathetic judgment and leadership before, during and after Hurricane Katrina. But, Howard Dean had to keep up the fiction President Bush was responsible for the Katrina mess in New Orleans and couldn’t run a truthful campaign in the best interests of the people of New Orleans.

Senator minority leader Harry Reid called a proposed law to make English the national language of the United States “racist”. As I’ve said before, Democrats are wearing people out with calling everything they disagree with racist. What is racist about the English language? Or having an official language?The official language of Mexico is Spanish. I suppose Reid would consider that racists too,

I watched President Bush’s speech tonight on immigration reform and thought it sounded like a comprehensive and balanced approach to the problem. But, I need to think about all the components outlined in his plan before I can intelligently give my opinion on the subject.One thing I did notice, Bush used the term illegal immigrant, instead of undocumented worker and he acknowledged many problems
