Majority Democrats in the New Mexico
House are scuttling education legislation that's a priority for Gov. Susana
Martinez.
A party-line vote Monday by the House Education Committee tabled a
bill to provide reading remediation and hold back most third-graders who aren't
proficient in reading.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the bill sponsored
by Democratic Rep. Mary Helen Garcia is intended to halt social promotion.
Social
promotion is a practice in which students are promoted to higher grades even if
they're not doing well enough academically.
