   Against what? who?
   Must have missed that on Eduwonk.
   However, Jersey Jazzman knocks Cerf and his starwman down for the count.

   I see that Mr. Rotherham is still unwilling to take Ms Anderson to task for calling the students of Newark public schools “criminals” and her Michelle Rhee like quitting a schedule speech at AEI.

2. School Choice in Newark?
   Not really.

   Julian Ferreira will get to go the school behind his house–and his mother Sara deserves a lot of credit for standing up to the administration of Newark public schools run by Christopher Cerf, Gov. Chris Christie’s agent in the state’s largest school district. But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of other children in Newark who will not be allowed to attend the schools nearest their homes. Their struggle goes on.
