So I've had a chance to look at the education "reform" bill Christie proposed; it's as insane as you would imagine.

Christie says:
"Let me be clear," Christie said in a press conference in his outer office yesterday. "We don’t want to see the elimination of tenure, but the elimination the tenure system we have now."
Another day, another lie. This bill clearly eliminates tenure.

All tenure does is prevent a teacher from being fired without holding a hearing before someone outside of the school district. If a teacher doesn't have tenure, they can be fired at will by school officials and/or administrators.
