We are writing to you as (Amy Ipp) a retired educator and librarian, informed citizen, member of the New Jersey Librarian Association and a member of the League of Women Voters and as (Michael Gottesman) a retired attorney, retired educator, member of the League of Women Voters, member of the LWV Education Committee and founder of the New Jersey Public Education Coalition (NJPEC). But our communication to you today is as private citizens. We were disappointed at your statement regarding the New Jersey State Board of Education’s Equity Code, 6A:7.
