NJEA Answers Calls For Chief's Resignation

From a statement released by the New Jersey Education Association, the state's teacher's union:

"On the topic of taxpayer-funded private school vouchers, the interviewer asked Giordano what options low-income urban families have.
"His response was that for children and families in New Jersey’s most economically challenged communities, life is not always fair.  While Mr. Giordano acknowledges that his choice of words may be open to misinterpretation, his intent was to make the point that providing vouchers to a select few students is not the way to address the challenges faced by urban school districts."
