What I found to be very interesting was when Judge Doyne asked the State"Is Race & Ethnicity in question in this case?" He then asked the State to use the language that was pertaining to the court case. Listening to Judge Doyne and the phrase that comes to my mind is "Let me be perfectly clear", which I think is a good thing so that there will be no misunderstanding on anyone's part.

Another thing that was interesting when the Superintendent from Piscataway said the cuts to World Language resulted in them using dvd's. Piscataway is using dvd's that are about 10 years old to teach spanish and the teachers using them may not even speak the language.

Piscataway is a G-H District and went from 13% free and reduce lunch to 28%. Their state aid was cut by $5 million. They are hurting. There were times when the Mr. Copeland seemed hestitant to answer some questions and Judge Doyne had to repeatedly ask him to clarify some statements he made. Mr. Copeland was truly on the hot seat today.
