New Jersey Teachers Exposed
James O’Keefe, who famously exposed ACORN operations around the country for the scams they are, has hit the New Jersey teacher’s unions right between the eyes with a new set of videos that don’t show teachers in the best light: New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie’s spokesperson responded to videos conservative activist James O’Keefe released Monday apparently showing unionized educators at a New Jersey Education Association conference attacking the governor and his policies in crude language. In one of O’Keefe’s two videos, the unionized teachers and others at the NJEA meeting are heard chanting, “let’s have a whiskey and get a little misty. Join me now and slander Chris Christie!,” as well as “Read, write and arithmetic. Here comes Christie with a whipping stick!” Christie’s spokesperson Michael Drewniak on Monday told The Asbury Park Press the videos were “distressing – and revealing – to say the least.” In the video, the unionized teachers also appear to boast about how it’s almost impossible to fire tenured teachers, even those who make racist remarks to students. Christie has been battling the teachers since before he took office. One union official even encouraged teachers to pray for the governor’s death. It’s pretty ugly back there, but so far Christie is winning the battle. The teachers have met their match.
