In this video, NJEA and AFT leaders throughout New Jersey first bash Governor Christie, which is nothing new.
As the video progresses, the “star” of the video, a male voice with a real or faked British accent posing as a teacher, confesses to “kiddy fiddling” and sexual touching of students to union officials who say they’ve dealt with such circumstances before and that they will back him up. One union official advises the fake teacher to accuse students of coming on to him before the kids complain.
This video is sure to go viral. NJEA is sure to spin.
Bret Schundler testified before the Senate Legislative Oversight Committee yesterday and joined Senate Democrats in shifting the blame for the failed “Race To The Top” application for $400 million in federal education pork to Governor Christie’s insistence that the Education Department not cave to the NJEA’s opposition to merit pay for teachers and accountability standards, rather than accept responsibility for his own clerical error that was the cause of the failure.
It is sad to witness Schundler’s personal race to the bottom. It wouldn’t surprise me if Schundler switches parties again and runs against Christie in 2013. I would enjoy that race.
