New Jersey teachers no longer need to be educated in order to educate your kids, apparently.
Starting the first day of 2025, a new state law says that educators may now become certified teachers without needing to pass a “basic skills” test administered by New Jersey’s Commissioner of Education, the Daily Caller News Foundation reports.
The exam, which included a basic required reading, writing and mathematics assessment, was considered “an unnecessary barrier to entering the profession” by none other than the state’s Education Association (Our entitled teacher’s union strikes again.)
With enough squawking, they got Democrat State Senator Jim Beach to sponsor Act 1669, a bill passed by Governor Phil Murphy as part of the state’s budget in July. Beach called it the “best way” to ameliorate an apparent shortage of teachers (Sounds like Beach’s brain is still on Summer vacation at the Jersey Shore).

Because…what better way to better our school systems than by lowering the bar?!
It’s the typical regressive “progressive” mindset that got New York to axe their basic literacy requirements in 2017 in the name of “diversity,” adds the DCNF, along with both California and Arizona fast tracking their teacher requirements.
As the DCNF puts it more politely, teachers unions are basically in bed with our Blue state leaders, who seem to waive all accountability for their entitled members. They remain some of the highest paid employees in New York, despite only around half of their state’s student population from grades 3 through 8 testing as “proficient” during the 2022 to 2023 school year.
