Fedup, if you want to blame someone about the lack of pienson funds, start where it began. You lay the entire pienson fund issues at Christiee28099s feet and thate28099s purposely misrepresentative.If you choose to believe teachers are being bashed, then you choose to falsely look at the situation. I have never heard teachers as a whole bashed once from Christie. I've heard him criticize the NJEA. I've heard him talk about reform. I've heard him criticize individuals in the system, but I never once heard him bash teachers as group. Infact, Ie28099ve heard him compliment teachers and tell them they should be just as angry about what their union is doing. The videos released about the convention are more of a show about the state of the organization then it is teachers in general.I am sick and tired of this mentality that we have to coddle teachers, praise them like they are Mother Teresa while not being real about the issues that teachers and the public face alike. If you are a good teacher, you have no reason to feel bashed . As for what you claim is Christiee28099s demeaning style of politics, you should feel more demeaned by Former Governor Corzine who thought the people were too stupid to see what was going on and would still vote for him if he spent enough money, catered to unions and took money from other funds to apply them falsely to other avenues. Thate28099s who you should feel demeaned by. But not someone like Christie whoe28099s style of politics is honesty is raw and not always pretty. But if you truly do feel more demeaned by Christiee28099s politics and not Corzinee28099s, then apparently you want more of the same; coddling, minimal reforms if any, happy feel good comments with no real change, wrong figures being passed to the public to save grace save that to the sweater-vest we had in office last year.
