Public schools in Montclair, N.J., would lay off as many as 70 teachers, including reading and math specialists, and would no longer offer French and Spanish classes in its elementary grades.


Westfield would not be able to buy library books or replace aging computers, and a popular middle-school tradition — the fall play — could disappear.


Cresskill could see class sizes climb to 35 students in middle and high schools, it may charge students a fee to play high school sports, and it could eliminate middle-school athletic teams.

This is how the GOP values education and children.
