Trenton NJ, Senator Kristin Corrado (R-40) released the following statement on the Fiscal Year 2022 state budget approved by the Senate,“Today’s $46.4 billion budget vote is the epitome of opaque government in Trenton.

League of Women Voters of Ridgewood, hosts anti charter schools discussion on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library

Ridgewood NJ, League of Women Voters of Ridgewood, hosts anti charter schools discussion on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library.

In recent years the league has degenerated in to a left wing lobbyist organization , viewed as nothing more than an out of touch joke by the public .

In a consensus meeting of the League of Women Voters of Glen Rock, Northern Valley and Ridgewood the league looks to uphold the long standing tradition of failure in education .

In what could only be characterized as one of the most one sided biased discussion groups ever held in which the “league of women voters ” attempted to promote the failed status quo and perpetuate the current education system that deprives minorities and poor children of a proper education .

The league looked to perpetuate myths that continue to keep urban children at a significant disadvantage to there suburban counterparts  and the myths that someone knows better than the parents of those children on how to educate them .

No surprise that the leagues conclusions all pointed to more money to feed the failed current system and teachers unions and the continued system of treating minorities as second class citizens with very low expectations .

Charter schools – and their shortcomings – were the topic of debate during a recent consensus meeting of the League of Women Voters of Glen Rock, Northern Valley and Ridgewood.

The meeting, which this year took place on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library, is an annual event for individual chapters of the league.

During these meetings, the groups come together to form an opinion on a topic (immigration, Common Core, agriculture, charter schools) that has been assigned to them that year by the League of Women Voters of the United States.

After receiving research materials from the national organization, the individual groups read this material and research on their own. The process, on some occasions, can take several months, and then the individual leagues send their consensus to the state league, which in turn comes up with its own consensus after several months.
