Big Government: Gov. Christie to NJ Teachers Union: ‘You Punch Them, I Punch You’
by Kyle Olson
It’s not every day you hear a governor laying the smack down on a group of thugs like the New Jersey Education Association, but that’s precisely what Gov. Chris Christie did before a stuffy crowd of education reformers recently.
Christie didn’t mince words. He said when he was elected and “arrived on the playground,” he found the administrators and school board laying on the ground bleeding. “That meant there was a bully,” he said.
So his message was simple:
“You walk onto the school yard and you say punch them, I punch you.”

Here’s a governor who is impatient with awful schools and the snail’s pace the Education Establishment travels because adults’ perks and comfort may be disrupted.
But he’s on a mission to explain to his citizens the state of the education system. He’s telling them about the union’s penchant for “protecting lousy teachers” and “free health benefits from the day they’re hired till the day they die” and the union’s opposition to pay freezes.
Christie is serious about reforming New Jersey’s education system and will plow through any vested interest that is blocking necessary reforms. Other governors would be wise to follow his lead.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
