Story #5: NJ Teachers Attack Gov. Chris Christie on Facebook
RUSH: This is from the Government-Run AP: "They're the kind of obscenity-laced schoolyard taunts that could get a student suspended. But the target of this tirade is New Jersey's Gov. Chris Christie -- and the perpetrators are the state's teachers, irate over his calls for salary freezes and funding cuts for schools. In Facebook messages visible to the world -- not to mention their students -- the teachers have called Christie fat, compared him to a genocidal dictator and wished he was dead." Every single teacher who wrote one of these needs to be fired as a bad example. I mean, the students can read this stuff.
Here's a sample: "Never trust a fat f...," and then they drop the F-bomb here. "Never trust a fat F-bomb."
"'New Jersey Teachers United Against Governor Chris Christie's Pay Freeze,' which has some 69,000 fans, many of them teachers. 'How do you spell..." well, I gotta make sure that the people in Rio Linda get this 'cause they would know the word, but it's a family show, I can't use the word here. "How do you spell..." well, it's the number two exit point. Yeah, that's it. How you spell the number two exit point and they've got it "Chris Christie" is how you spell that.

1. Teachers in NJ are the 4th highest paid in the nation.
2. NJ spends the second highest amount per capita in the nation on education.
3. Teachers in NJ get around a 4% raise every year and pay NONE of their own health insurance costs.
For all that money, the citizens of the Garden State get teachers who can't even spell the governor's name or manage to correctly spell the words they use to insult him.
That's just... wow. Another reason to homeschool.
Pandy, your daughter is so lucky to have you home schooling her. These teachers sound highly unstable.
This is why it’s so difficult to look at teachers as professionals. They don’t understand the real world. How many white collar workers got 4% raises a year in the last two years?
There a great teacher - and then there are These types! They are the reason our kids can’t read!
They don’t want the kids smart - they just want their paycheck and teacher’s pension!
I think we need to do the same for these types of teachers as the politicians - if they don’t do their jobs well - kick them out!
I was lucky she had 3 good teachers before we removed her from school. The teachers are royally pist off. They have a strong union & I give Christie credit for taking them on. I see my taxes going up more & more.

Gee . . isn't that "mean-spirited"? Or are only conservatives "guilty" of that charge? As to the mispellings and bad grammar . . that's what you get from journalism and teaching schools. They're only interested in indoctrination to the Alinsky school of thought.

We need the pay freeze here in PA but no politician dares to talk about it.
Teachers are only painting themselves into a corner with this behavior. The public is starting to despise them.
PA teachers don't make anything near what NJ teachers make. The NJEA is a very strong union and Christie is trying to break their back. I hope he succeeds.
There are a lot of good teachers, but there are also a lot of bad ones protected by the union. Unfortunately, in NJ a lot of the younger, more vibrant teachers are going to get the ax because the ones that do absolutely nothing are protected by the union seniority rules.
These so called teachers are acting like children. Ridiculous behavior from them and their bosses, in my opinion.
AdaGray said: Teachers are only painting themselves into a corner with this behavior. The public is starting to despise them.
And I could not agree more! Go Gov. Christie!!!
Yes. And now, all the public service union employees are despised. “Class envy” can cut both ways. So now it’s the teachers that should be warned by Bill Clinton and the msm not to set off bombs against the government.
ML/NJ
I hope so too.....
My vote NO on the school budget was a vote against the arrogant NJ teacher's union
We could only be so lucky for all the state Governors to do with the teachers unions what Reagan did with the air traffic controllers. IF it takes the kids getting even a six month vacation to let the dust settle, they’d be better off for it in the long run. Let these teachers earn their positions by success and keep the goods ones and let the bad ones eat dirt.
I’m in Rocket City USA in AL and most days most of the teachers are long gone before I even get my son in 7th grade picked up via the car rider line. WE don’t let our kids ride the buses, EVER, except school field trips. Heck, they aren’t even putting in 8 hours.
A Republican gov with balls...in all places NJ.
He should lend his set to ours in MN.
