Christie Continues Super-Sized Lie About Public Schools in Newark

by Jim Horn

The nation's most morbidly-obese governor continues to trumpet lies aimed to demonize and dismantle public institutions that he was elected to manage and improve.


From Politifact and the Star-Ledger:

Gov. Chris Christie pushes his plans to reform New Jersey public schools using student performance in urban school districts as one of his statistical battering rams, but consistently misrepresents the high school graduation rate of the state’s largest district.

Christie claims fewer than 25 percent of freshmen in Newark high schools graduate in four years.
