Careful about criticizing N.J. school board officials

New Jersey newspapers report high school administrators hired despite having fake online degrees.The School Board's respond:

The Freehold School Board has subpoenaed New Jersey Online to identify several citizens who chimed in to discuss stories published in the Newark Star Ledger and New Jersey Online about several high administrators who got fake degrees from an online diploma mill, and hence received higher pay. After New Jersey Online notified its subscribers of the subpoena, the ACLU of New Jersey and Freehold attorney Stuart J. Moskovitz stepped in to represent various anonymous posters, and NJ.com has refused to furnish identifying information about the posters.

Asbury Park Press:

Howell representative William Bruno on the school board said he was in favor of the Aug. 31 subpoena.

“If they have nothing to hide, what’s the problem?” Bruno said.
