Caldwell Board of Ed moves to exclude home-schoolers from athletic programs
Remember, public education is all about the children.
The Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education will vote next month on revisions to the district's policies that would prevent home-schooled students from participating in interscholastic sports.
The proposed policy changes come as a result of a recent change to the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association's (NJSIAA) bylaws that state home-schooled students may participate in interscholastic sports if the district allows.
Superintendent of Schools Daniel Gerardi said the administration's recommendation is to be consistent with how private school students are treated by the district and not allow home-schooled students to participate in sports.
Maybe they should enact a policy which exempts the parents of home-schooled and private school students from paying the school tax. Because they definitely work overtime to ensure we don't get any services from the school district.
Sports programs are organized after normal school hours. So there is no logistical reason the home-schooled and private school kids couldn't participate. Except of course that the teachers union hates it when you don't send your kid to the government school.
Who runs the interscholastic sports programs? Members of the teachers union.
What we need here is a home-schooled black kid who's a basketball star. Then
we can watch Gerardi squirm when the kid's parents accuse him of racism for
this clearly discriminatory policy.
