12:19Now PlayingIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill dismantles the backlash surrounding New Jersey’s decision to drop its basic skills test for teacher certification. Republicans, led by Elon Musk and Fox News, claim this move lowers standards, opening the floodgates for unqualified teachers.
Hill sets the record straight, arguing that the test doesn’t measure teaching effectiveness and disproportionately excludes working-class and Black and Brown teacher candidates. He highlights the teacher shortage crisis, challenges misconceptions, and calls out the right for weaponizing education while ignoring its systemic issues.
Is New Jersey sacrificing quality, or is this a necessary reform for equity? Hill breaks it all down.
