I probably cover Lakewood's morally and fiscally bankrupt
schools too often, but this Ocean County
school district that enrolls almost entirely Latino and Black low - income students pushes all my education reform buttons: tyranny of the majority (in this case the ultra-Orthodox residents who control the municipal government and the
school board); lack of accountability; lack of
school choice for poor kids of color but
anything goes (at
public expense) for children of the ruling class; discrimination
against minority special education students.
