Christie to Caller: 'None of Your Business' Where My Kids Go to School
Print Email Share Comments Text Size
Call it another Chris Christie moment.
The confrontational New Jersey governor, appearing on a recent call-in show for a local public television channel, effectively shut down a caller who asked him why he sends his kids to private school.
"You know what? First off, it's none of your business," Christie snapped, after being asked to justify how he can impose cuts on the public school system while keeping his own children out of it.
"Secondly," he continued, "I pay $38,000 a year in property taxes for a public school system ... that my wife and I don't choose to utilize, because we believe we've decided as parents that we believe a religious education should be part of our children's everyday education. So we send our children to parochial school."
The Republican governor is well known for his often-public run-ins with teachers and critics of his administration over his cuts to the education system.
Christie was recently rebuked over those cuts by the New Jersey Supreme Court, which last month ruled that the state must restore $500 million in education funding for low-income districts.

This is funny, I've got a relative I was just talking with that usually agrees politically with me but is big into MSNBC, Michael Moore, Bill Mahre...
The other day, we had talked about how this person heard Chris Christie was "an asshole", and apparently it was related to this video. After the person in question actually watched the video (two minutes ago, at my recommendation), they changed their opinion.
Freaky, lol

Hush little one, no one was talking about whether or not the question was "valid."
Everyone is commenting on his RESPONSE to that question, which is a breath of fucking fresh air compared to the response every other fuckface politician would have given.

As long as he pays taxes and his money goes to public education - Then he can send his kid anywhere he wants.
