"This modest proposal by the Board of Education has generated a firestorm of protests from special interests groups, intent on protecting the privileges of the few without any regards for the real needs of Englewood students. Using intimidation tactics, these special interest groups went as far as suggesting that the school budget deficit had been manufactured, showing once again their total lack of understanding of basic economics. Englewood real-estate taxes already exceed by nearly 100% the national average, as percentage of home values. Home values have gone down by 10 to 30% and the Englewood taxpayer can no longer be squeezed for additional dollars."

Englewood Parents with children in the school district, a special interest group called Englewood FAST is calling you a special interest group, because you care about your kids. They are very confident that their lobbying of the NJ Legislature and the Senate will get the bill passed that will allow their Special Needs children to attend the Yeshivas. That way their children will no longer be exposed to Delta T or Mission One. So who, pray tell is the real "Special Interest Group" in this scenario.
Sigmund Freud's name for what they are doing is called "Projection". They are the few with protected privileges.
Make a Note of it.
Okay. Guilty as charged. I am part of a "special interest group" that is composed of angry Mother's, Father's and Grandma's who have children in the Englewood Public Schools. We want a THOROUGH and EFFICIENT EDUCATION for all children. We are a group of people who know the definition of "Regressive Taxation" and those of you who don't should google it. A regressive tax can be defined as a tax that tends to increase the total percentage of income paid on those who must pay the tax. In contrast, those who have a higher income pay less of their total income on items taxed. A tax can also be considered regressive when poorer folks must purchase more of the items taxed than do richer folks.
(I am a homeowner, who is much poorer than the homeowners on the hill. I am not whining over high taxes. I am angry over more than 9 years of failure to do right by all of the children. My taxes go up right along with theirs, but my grandchildren cannot afford to use the municipal pool, the skating rink and cannot afford the recreation programs. I am thankful that they are good students and don't need Summer School, yet. They would not be able to afford that either.)
3, 4 and 5! Keep Public Education Alive!
All children must thrive!
Read Englewood FAST. Learn about the people who want to privatize everything including the police, fireman and teachers. You better watch out. They want some different residents and children down here in the Valley. Are we next? http://www.dontbankruptus.com/efast/?page_id=24
