Possible Deception and Certain Confusion: Emblem for Lighthouse blue ribbon Award Strikenly Similar to US Department of Education's Blue Ribbon Award
The similarity between the emblem for the blue ribbon"Lighthouse" Award (left) and the US Department of Education emblem for being a "blue ribbon" school (right) is both deceptive and obvious. This speaks VERY poorly for the organization that is behind this award and of course the Hoboken School District using the bogus emblem with its HIGH similarity to the US Dept. of Education's emblem for the award.
A district does not need to provide any funds to the US Department of Education when they are recognized as being a Blue Ribbon school whereas schools and districts do pay to be assessed by the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence which is a non-profit 501c organization.
