The New Jersey Education Association is seething over Bob Bowdon’s film “The Cartel,” which depicts the New Jersey public education system as corrupt, wasteful, incompetently managed, and under the thumb of the teachers union. Here’s their just-issued press release, which charges that "the film is an orchestrated attack against public schools and the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA)” and here’s Bowdon’s really amusing response (hey – he did work for “The Onion”).
NJEA also links to an unsigned research paper that we posted about (here) last month. Should a union that represents educators ignore basic conventions of scholarship? Odd.Labels: NJEA
