Hurricane Sandy beat the shit out of the Jersey Shore when it made landfall in October 2012. Homes filled with water. Boats washed up on people’s lawns and on the Brielle Avenue bridge. Also, a real estate sign went missing.
It had been planted in back of a house for sale on Cedarcrest Drive, facing a narrow inlet called Debbie’s Creek in Brielle. The sign was 18 by 24 inches and about an inch thick and made of plastic composite. It disappeared along with the post it was mounted to and was never seen again.
Until around May 14, 2018. On a beach in France, 3,595 miles away. A man walking along the Plage du Pin Sec, near Bordeaux, spotted it.

A-1669 is a state law passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy. It took effect on January 1, 2025. The new law PROHIBITS (yes that needs to be in all-caps) anyone from requiring that new teacher-hires must be able to read and write. You read that correctly.
Proponents believe it’s a necessary change to address difficulties recruiting teachers; critics assert that it’s bar on basic skills tests for teachers will negatively impact teacher quality.
“Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the State Board of Education shall be prohibited from requiring a commissioner-approved educator preparation program to require the completion of a commissioner-approved test of basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills including,” the new law explains, “but not limited to, the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators test, as a condition for admission.”
We might as well throw in the towel for states like Jersey.
The future there will be very bleek...

Re New Jersey; The government wants citizens to be ignorant and they've done a good job of that. The elites in this country need a good comeuppance.
