The calller asked why Christie felt it was right to cut funds from public schools when his kids attend private school. In his response, he said "It's none of your business" multiple times when referring to where his own kids go to school.

In his first year in office Christie cut school funding by $820M.

He's also been locked in a battle with the teacher's union over pension and health care contributions, calling union leaders political thugs.
