The first firing

The first firing — because of a clerical error? Or does this mean there is more to the fiasco than anyone wants to admit publicly?

The governor should look at himself on this and ask himself whether he aggravated the situation by quickly jumping into the fray in an effort to deflect blame.

  1. This is too funny except for the fact that Christie is gutting and dismantling one of the best school systems in the country. Schundler, some kind of goofertarian (libertarian) freak, did not resign so that he could be fired and collect unemployment insurance!!! Ha, ha, ha, I thought goonotarians were against unemployment insurance or any kind of public assistance? Whoops? I really hate the gOP and goofertarianism. They are both big frauds.

  2. Well, well, well, I thought conservatives, the GOP, the right wingers and the libertarian freak show were all against unemployment insurance because it supposedly is a big hand out to Cadillac driving welfare queens (like Schundler)? Hypocrisy cubed. Christie is just a lying, arrogant, thin-skinned bully. This man is single-handedly doing significant damage to the NJ public school system. It will take years to recover from this assault on our public schools.Christie was so ready to blame Obama and \”the bureaucracy\” until the actual video was shown in which Schundler and his staff were repeatedly asked for the pertinent figures and we can see the NJ team fumbling for a non-response. The federal questioner asked again for the numbers and Schundler didn't have them and never gave them to the Obama administration. That video shows that the federal bureaucracy was on the ball but that Christie's DOE was incompetent or purposely deceptive for whatever reason.All that being said, Obama's RTTT is a travesty and just as bad as Bush's NCLB. Pitting states against each other to get desperately needed education funding is just despicable and wrong. I absolutley abhor Obama's education policies. He is enabling jerks like Christie to put the knife in the back of NJ public schools.
