Bret Schundler showed emails to the press which pretty clearly disputes that claim.
Not really, no.
Why should Washington give extra time if the data is completely missing? They figured the data was just misplaced in the report. The data wasn't provided at all. Should they let NJ get a pass while expecting every other state to do their jobs?
I don't know if they should or shouldn't. But, just thinking out loud, perhaps the federal government, that has expressed a desire to improve schools, shouldn't be denying funds based on an easily-repaired clerical error. They want to have it both ways, but that's par for the course for this administation.
