NJ Teachers Union Boss With $500,000 Salary: “Life’s Not Fair”…
And he’s one of the reasons why.
‘Via Beltway Confidential:
New Jersey Education Association executive director Vincent Giordano first said that “life’s not always fair” when explaining why low-income families shouldn’t get school vouchers to leave failing schools, and now he promises not to be “bullied” into resigning by the governor.
“Life’s not always fair, and I’m sorry about that, but to suggest that we take money from taxpayers and give it to certain taxpayers to use to educate their kids outside of the public school just seems to me to be [wrong]” Girodana said on a local New Jersey Capitol Report while criticizing the idea of school vouchers. He was responding to a questioner who had just observed that without vouchers, “some of these parents,” the Inquirer relates, “can’t afford to take their kids out of failing schools.”

Take this fat pig’s salary and million dollar pension away, and when he squawks remind him how “life isn’t fair”.
Its just as not fair for everyone who doesn’t have kids in public school, but who pays property tax to have to fund the school system.
He should be floating in the salty brine.
Another piggish scumbag.
Would he still have a 500000 salary if Union dues were voluntary?
“but to suggest that we take money from taxpayers and give it to certain taxpayers to use to educate their kids outside of the public school just seems to me to be [wrong]”
Since when do Democrats care about taking other peoples money and using it for all their BS causes? I swear these people don’t even listen to themselves talking.
@Teacake
No kidding!!
Legislating from the Bench… a commiecrat specialty..

“When this governor slashed funding for urban schools again last year, ELC sued on behalf of children in those districts. The New Jersey Supreme Court examined the facts and ruled his budget unconstitutional. It ordered him to provide over $500 million to students in urban districts to ensure that New Jersey’s vision for equal educational opportunity remains alive.
“The Supreme Court has never had to order me or NJEA to do the right thing by the students in our urban schools. We’ve been fighting for students in urban schools since Governor Christie was a public school student himself. I helped start and serve on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning which is bringing innovative, life changing programs to students in districts across New Jersey, including Newark, Jersey City and Paterson. NJEA has contributed $4 million to this effort over the last several years.
=============================
Translation: I have to protect the jobs of shitty teachers and if that means your kid will never learn to read, that’s just too bad for him.
No doubt New Orleans isn’t the only city that has a problem with school board members stealing more than half the money, year after year.
And i bet he belongs to the leftists NEA
Typical bloated prog parasite living like a king on our money.
He needs his home occupied. Spread the fairness around.
Vincent is a progressive urban Demoncrat.
Our public schools accuse the charter schools of cherry picking students to explain their better grades. It’s just sad.
All the teachers I knew in New Orleans had to take medication for stress. Kids are totally out of control in the regular public school system… from 1st grade to high school.
Are the charter school teachers Union members?
“It is not because we care about children, and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues.”
-NEA general counsel Bob Chanin, July 2009

The children are nothing more than a bloody shirt to wave around for these revolutionary Communist wannabes. They will NEVER willingly let their meal ticket go regardless of how many children suffer under their “gentle hands:.
Money spent on public education has little to do with quality, a fact that has been proven over and over numerous times. It’s all about the methodology that is used.
The union bosses, substandard teachers and drone operated PTA(s) if they had their way would bankrupt the state and its taxpayers without blinking an eyelash.
I don’t for one minute envy the job that Christie has to do and the people that he has to deal with…
This guy is a hog. Look at his wattles, his craw, his swollen neck…
Takes a $500k salary?
Firing squad.
Pig.
I’m thinking Chris Christie got a Tingles when this guy served this up to him.
Damn dude, could you be ANY less diplomatic about it, you hypocritical fuck?
HOME SCHOOLING
I bet half that salary goes to Tony Soprano.
This lardass hasn’t missed any meals, has he? Hope your cholesterol isn’t high, you fatassed piece of shit
“Life’s not always fair….”
———
Remember that the next time someone calls for everyone to “pay their FAIR share”.
.
“..I bet half that salary goes to Tony Soprano…”
====================
so you’ve been to NJ..?
maybe not Tony exactly… but the resemblance is striking…
“Life’s not always fair….”
============
It’s only “fair”… if a leftist says it’s … “fair”
@Rob
It’s only “fair”… if a leftist says it’s … “fair”
==================
And a leftest will never say it is fair, because their entire reason for existence requires a victim.
Paid to brainwash the kids with this NEW WORLD ORDER stuff and to ecept BIG BROTHER and a NORTH AMERICAN(SOVIET)UNION
I grew up believing life wasn’t fair, my parents taught us that. Why is everybody hating this man for simply stating a fact? Likable or not he speaks the truth.
The failed school systems are that way because of a failure to generate enough property taxes in the area to run them properly. Areas of mostly unemployed, minorities and white trash. They have through ignorance elected all the wrong people in every aspect of local government, schools included. These elected folks then proceed through criminal behavior to rob the school system and local government blind, leaving very little for actual education. Then cut back after cut back until there is but a skeleton left for the children. So what do parasites do once they devour a host? They move on to the next one.. A voucher is just another free one way ticket to the next host. The cycle repeats. When do you just say no?
There needs to be some reward for working hard, amassing wealth and finally being able to afford to separate yourself, if only a little, from the masses of ignorant parasite zombies roaming the American landscape. If not, why bother?
Quiet everyone-Jabba the Hut is planning his next major education initiative: boycott of Florida orange juice
Don’t tell me he is an arch REPUBLICAN and a TEA BAGGER
My folks paid for me to go to private grammar school, and still had to pay for some other kid to go to public school. Vouchers would have helped.
Unions have become pigheaded communist shitpiles.
This bloated fart is getting $500k from the taxpayers? Are you out of your mind, New Yorkers?
@Grimmer
“The failed school systems are that way because of a failure to generate enough property taxes in the area to run them properly.”
WOW, are you way out in left field. Good luck with your viewpoint.
A few rambling notes about NJ schools. My suburban district had to borrow money to expand existing schools, because most of the school taxes we pay go to so called “Abbot Districts”, not to my local schools. Abbott Districts are black holes, where billions disappear w/o trace. Newark’s school budget is 960M, most of it coming from richer communities. Newark however, boasts swimming pools at its high schools & their school athletes have the best equipment & best uniforms.Their principals have nice $4600 ergonomic chairs & school furniture is replaced every other year. School nurses buy Band-aides out of their own money though. It would be much cheaper to cut a check for $3600 to each & every Newark resident, than to pay for their schools. Graduation rates hover around 50%. Still there are places worse than Newark. Camden is another Detroit. In Asbury Park it takes 34K per year to “educate” a student.I paid less for a private, Catholic university 20 years ago.
CC will get a ton of ammo from this idiot’s comments. Today, Giordano refused to quit, re-iterated his “It’s for The Children” mantra & called for CC’s resignation. Time to get popcorn.

like… Maplewood… Cedar Grove… Millburn
Fat fucking pig!
Hasn’t missed many meals…. soon, he won’t be able to reach his own wallet.
CC
Another pig at the trough.
I would like to ask him if he would like a mint. It’s wafer thin.
Life’s not fair.
And when the people decide to get off their asses and act, he will surely know what Life being Un-fair is all about.
@Grimmer: “The failed school systems are that way because of a failure to generate enough property taxes in the area to run them properly.”
You are so far off base with that remark that it is stunning. Do you live in New Jersey?
I refer everyone to dries’ spot on and excellent comments (above) about NJ schools.
One more thing – under corzine and the dem legislature and previous legislatures as well, Newark residents didn’t pay dime one for their schools. The rest of the state paid for them – I am not sure if that is still the case, but it was up to a few years ago for sure. And Newark had a freakin’ corrupt as hell school board taking trips to Brazil with their corrupt mayor at the time, too.
Shouldn’t this little freak be out chasing the Three Billy Goats Gruff or something? I would call him a disgusting little troll but I have more respect for the troll community than that.
Fucking fat rat fuck.
