he calls schools 'failure factories' he graduated from Livingston High School in NJ so in his case he may be correct but all in all NJ ranks right at the top of the country in education. The NAEP (international test) NJ scores #2 in the country which would put it ahead of most other countries by a wide margin. (southern red states drag us down as a naiton) I saw someone write that no one should play the race card, unfortunately that is what needs to be played as it looks like Chris Christie has gone out of his way to defund schools where poor minority students attend:
