The Republican debate took a bizarre turn Wednesday as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Vice President Mike Pence traded comments about"sleeping" with teachers.
The comments were made during a segment that focused on education policy in the United States, with Christie criticizing teachers unions for controlling public education."The public school system is no longer run by the public. It is run by the teachers unions," Christie said."They're taking the worst of their members and defending them rather than advocating for our kids.
After several other candidates weighed in on education, many of whom focused on parental rights and school choice, Pence referenced Christie's remark, saying,"I've been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years." However, he noted that his wife, Karen Pence, is not a member of a teachers union. "We're going to stand up for the rights of parents, and we're going to pass a federal ban on transgender chemical or surgery anywhere in the country," the former vice president said."We've got to protect our kids from this radical gender ideology agenda, and we've got to empower parents at the state level with the ability to choose where their kids go to school.
