The Bookers

Turns out the Booker family is well connected in New Jersey. Just look at Cory Booker's brother, Cary:
After working as a policy consultant on Murphy’s campaign in 2017, Cary Booker became the administration’s senior education adviser in 2018, earning $120,000. This June, six days before Murphy stumped for Cory Booker’s presidential campaign in Iowa, the Democratic governor’s administration awarded Cary Booker a new $150,000 position leading the state’s Division of Early Childhood Education, which focuses on birth to third grade.

Yet Cary Booker has never worked in preschools in any capacity, and his primary experience with young elementary school students was at Omni Prep, according to a resume obtained through an open records request. His tenure as an administrator at the small charter school should raise questions about how qualified he is to lead a department shaping pre-K and early elementary education for an entire state, former employees said.
This little tidbit about Cary Booker's failed school matches our own experience teaching at a second rate Orthodox Jewish Yeshiva on Terhune Avenue in Passaic, NJ.
The financial woes weren’t a shock — when the school opened the previous fall it provided no books, no curriculum and almost no training for its novice educators, former teachers said in interviews with NJ Advance Media. But now the charming and charismatic face of the school offered no solution.
Booker's parents were IBM execs. Cory attended Stanford and played college football. He's a pretty interesting man, according to his bio, one of the reasons we voted for him. 

Too bad he's an idiot man-child.
