YouTube: Christie “You Punch Them, I Punch You”

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie delivered the keynote speech at the 3rd Excellence in Education Summit. The event was held in Washington D.C.  Not every day do you hear a governor laying the smack down on a group of thugs like the New Jersey Education Association, but that’s precisely what Governor Chris Christie did before a stuffy crowd of education reformers recently.

Christie is 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.

Chris Christie is 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.

YouTube excerpt of Christie’s speech:

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.

His message was simple: “You walk onto the school yard and you say punch them, I punch you.”

We need more people like Chris Christie.  He is tackling the NJ teachers union head on.  The NJ schools are failing the same as most schools in America are.  The unions answer to the problem is to pay the teachers more.
