per hour. the most next four or five high tides will be the highest water level and moderate coastal flooding is expected. more details later on. >> a group of parents of the south orange maplewood school district are suing the school district over what they say is discrimination and segregation. they say black kids are not getting the same opportunities as white kids in the district. there five elementary schools. one is a high concentration of black students. the other four are mostly white. when the kids get high school the parents a the test scores are reflective of the lack of opportunity as they move through. as a result, brackets are being pushed into classes that do not challenge them.

they are not getting the same opportunity at as their white counterpart. the attorney is robert. welcome to chasing news. >> thank you. >> let me understand this. the idea is that you are saying that the black students in the high school, their test scores are not comparable to the white student test scores. do you think there's some discrimination in regard to test scores? or does this go back to the root of the problem at the elementary school level? >> the fundamental thing is this. when black kids go through the front door of the high school, they are automatically tracked into a different type of class. that's a problem. automatic and discriminatory leveling and tracking. what we have proven is that this high school and school district tracks the black kids on one level and tracking my kids on another. it is not just us that said that. the district has ritually admitted that because they entered into a consent order.

>> when you say the kid walks into the door and a black kid in a white kid, being put in these courses based on test score or color of their skin? >> not based on a test score. they're coming from the middle school where there is no test score in regards to the high school. it has to be based on some perceived tracking level. that's what we've had a problem with. there is a perception of a tracking level. >> will be a disadvantage to some of the black students if what they're saying from the elementary school level, that they would be putting classes they cannot handle because they have not been pushed to that level? they're not at that academic level yet? >> from what we have been able to see, many black kids have come to the district and said we are not challenged in these classes. we need to move up. the district said no were not letting you move up. >> okay. stay in touch. that's bring in the panel to

break it down. i'm joined by the n republicans association, we have the muslim community representative, and peter brown, from the linden city council. peter, it's easy to paint with this broad brush, racism. there seems to be an issue here that maybe the kids are not getting the same level of instruction in the outliers of the kids prepared for tougher classes is that racism? >> it's not racism. is there an issue? it looks like there is. but when it comes to minority and education we see a difference in test scores. i wouldn't blame it on the education system. it also comes what's happening at home. when kids are coming home our

parents sitting down and working with their kids? >> that's a great point. i would agree. your entire environment helps that an diagnostic testing is a huge factor. >> i beg to differ, the home and environment matters but what are the teachers receiving a what are they getting to make themselves effective and standardized's testing that allows for students to be treated equally. >> the worst test scores in the state of the highest cost per student. >> you look at the impairment these kids are raised in and you can help them a correlation. >> every year there's a tradition called the walked washington. the chamber of commerce joins with their members, politicians and lobbyists and head to d.c. this should the new governor decided he wasn't gonna take the train but he was going to meet people in washington. benson taxes on the agenda.

no agenda. what are they going down therefore and how does it help us in new jersey? >> what gets accomplished when the politicians go down there. phil murphy has his attorney cheated general suing the federal government and talking about gun control. one of the big issues he's driving his gun control. the legislators picking up the very owners control that we have. what gets accomplished with politicians on the train? >> i don't think anything gets accomplished when includes a great deal of alcohol and does it seem to be the situation when you're on a train, drunk? >> have you been on the train? >> i have not. >> it's a mr. right of passage. how far is too far for this governor and attorney general? he was touted as a friend of law enforcement. we have seen a month of nothing

but nonstop lawsuits against the trump administration. what are they doing to help make a new jersey more affordable? >> i think it is a clear agenda his operating on. nothing seems to be central to run new jersey. more towards his personal agenda. >> is a citizen and someone who pays taxes, is a disappointed to see that sewage emphasis of the show. how about the fact that there crammed together and trying to go party in d.c. >> i don't think we should tolerated. we need to be careful of where our tax dollars are going. as someone who is paying taxes i like to see that going to my local schools and businesses. >> 's is the smoke-filled back room without the smoke? >> when i was in the train he could still smoke and drink

openly. >> this is nothing more than a party train. what i would like to see is the money that we send out to washington, d.c., getting money back. bring in jobs back. >> there something off against us when their lobbying against this the meadow the issue now you have the chamber same, and in and are paying for it. when your politician, we might be paying for some of it. >> it's an issue and one that needs to be addressed. it's a factor for other states as well. new jersey would get hit hard. >> don't go anywhere, more jason is coming up. including a local pastor you may recognize. he stepping into the immigration debate again. this time to warn undocumented immigrants when ice is headed to get them at the courthouse. how about this, for nightmare

the guy drinks too much and ends up in an uber from west virginia to jersey. a 1600-dollar mistake. and the weather is going to get bad. >> heavy rain is a guarantee. snow and ice is the wildcard. power outages could be a big headache. our concern is coastal flooding. will break it down about this and talk about when it leaves us alone in your forecast, coming up.

>> welcome back, we have a story for you about a college kid from new jersey. little bit too much to drink and gets in the uber and a 1600-dollar mistake. first, you might remember the pastor who ran for governor on the green party ticket. a few weeks ago he was in the middle of the debate over illegal immigration when he offered sanctuary to some undocumented immigrants. he's in the news again. this time saying he's going to fight the injustice of ice arresting for people for violations in new brunswick. >> he has talked about the fact

that in places like north brunswick, schools, churches and hospitals were say places front documented workers. now they want volunteers to protect them from going into places like courthouses which should also be safe places. >> we want to make sure ice doesn't get away from it. we have volunteers who will stand in the parking and make sure we record ice as they carry out any tactics against people in the courthouse parking lot. >> how to see feel this will play into the overall debate? helping or hurting? >> he can look to california where the mayor was berated by ice by warning of an rate before it took place.

it's going to be very interesting as we go forward with the debate. >> thank you. let's bring back our a+ panel to break it down. peter brown, councilman and lyndon. good to see you. >> it seems there is no way around the legal issue that there's a legal action being taken by a nice and these guys are standing in the way. how do they avoid getting arrested? >> two places where people can go in schools or churches seems like the list is further for people to avoid being arrested. we don't want to see families split apart but we shouldn't be interfering with the government

doing their job. >> is he crossing the line? certainly it's emotional. but ice is not arbitrarily arresting people they have warrants out. >> they're not always committing crimes. should our courthouse be a safe place? i would think they should be. >> is a government down on the job and not solve the problem and you have private folks saying were going to do it. >> it is an issue. we cannot let emotion skewer the lines of the law. our elected officials are trying to hold it down. >> how far do they go? to arrest the mayor and the pastor and does that make them

victims? >> i don't think their victims anytime they choose to break the law that's resides in their hands. >> i don't think it's a democrat or republican debate. during obama's turn people were arrested too. >> i'm sure many of you have taken a ride share service like uber before. you're about to meet a guy who took a $1600 uber ride. we have a few questions. >> let me understand what happened. you had a few drinks, maybe more. going to college in west virginia you wake up in an uber, $1600 later you're in new jersey. what happened? >> i had started drinking at my

friends house and then we went to a fraternity party and then club. i spent $200 and drinks at the club. then i blacked out. the last thing he remembers being at the club. just imagine you're sit there there's a 38-year-old man in the driver seat with a funny smirk. >> 38 is not old. let's just clarify that. do you know what happened? do you think you did it yourself or one of your fraternity brothers played a joke on you? >> i'm sure i did it myself. but basically i don't remember doing it. >> where did you end up? back home?
