Chris Christie does it again -- Blames teachers and school administrators for the walkouts

Not that kids can have minds of their own, not that kids really can understand important issues; Governor Chris Christie out and out BLAMED school administrators for encouraging kids to walk out to protest HIS choice of words and positions on school millage elections. Kids could never just think of this on their own Christie is saying, they HAD to have had help.

Guv, do you even know what Facebook is? Did you even think to do ANY reading at all about the students in New Jersey Facebook page that planned this walkout? No, no you didn't, you immediately fell back to your 'blame everyone else' for not supporting your controversial policies. THIS Mr. Christie, is the height of arrogance. #1 you sell students short. You think New Jersey students are brainless little things that only do what the teachers tell them to do. That's a nice opinion to have of the children whose best interests YOU as Governor are supposed to help uplift and educate. #2 you are perilously close to parroting your former benefactor, one George W. Bush, when you claim people are either with you or they are to be marginalized.

You need to stop being so thin skinned Mr. former Federal Prosecutor and understand not everyone will agree with you. You need to address the corporate welfare happening in New Jersey, something you have failed to do thus far. THAT would help cut the budget deficit a hell of a lot more than having teachers freeze their pay for one year. No, that wouldn't work for you, teachers have unions which you hate. The robber barons who support you and you support in your words and deeds are where you can balance the budget.

We won't hold our collective breath for you to move on the top 1% of earners here in the Garden State as part of our 'shared sacrifice'.
