Umbrage

Update: Ray Pinney, who blogs at NJSBA, recounts some harsh exchanges at the September 22nd meeting of the Assembly Education Committee. During discussion of the bogus diploma debacle in Freehold (see post below), Assemblyman Joe Malone, a Republican from District 30, asked, according to Pinney’s notes,

“is there any culpability on the part of the board members?” and while he did state that the “vast majority of school board members do a good job” he followed that up with the comment that when this happens in a district he can only think that the board members are either “complicit in the activity or just stupid!” Now there’s a choice for us: are we stupid or frauds?

Ouch.
