Here's an excerpt from that pamphlet he's talking about "How to debate your teacher and win!", imo, it's a good example of the type of projection the right directs towards the left, and it's filled with the kind of arrogance and self-righteousness you'd expect coming from conservatives:
"In 2013, New Jersey State Legislatures passed a bill that gave colleges all over
the state, both private and public, some money towards improving their buildings
and equipment. The bill was passed for 1.3 Trillion dollars, which would be
broken down and distributed to the schools of the state, and my college received
20 million dollars of that money.
Governor Chris Christie was going on a statewide campus tour in order to do
ground breaking ceremonies for the schools that were using the money granted
to them by the state. When it was released that he would be coming to my
school, my teacher and other liberal faculty and students were outraged. My
teacher stated, “He is only doing this because it is election year. He just wants
the publicity.” Now, do our elected leaders not care about the state during
election years? This was a huge grant that the state was giving our school, could
she not just accept that? I could not stay quiet. I raised my hand firmly
and awaited her to call on me. Up until this point in my class I had stayed quiet.
No one knew if I was Republican or Democrat. If I was for or against Obama and
his “obamacare,” so on and so forth. But, that would soon change.
She called on me and I let loose. I said, “Excuse me, does everyone here enjoy
paying high tuition?” and the class and my teacher were silent. I went on to say,
“yeah, I didn’t think so. You see, if we did not get this grant we would have had
to pay for these repairs and the new equipment to the science and nursing labs
ourselves. I don’t know about you, but I came to a state school to save myself
some money while also getting a good education. This grant allows this to
happen.” My teacher, thinking she would shut me up says, “Well, we only have
20 million dollars, there are a lot of schools that are getting more.” To which I
counteracted with, “This may be true, and some of those schools might have
needed more money than we did. But, we still got 20 million dollars more than
we previously had.”
My teacher’s face fell. I like to think it was out of shock of someone standing
up to her. A student then turns around and said, “Yeah, but the only reason the
fat guy came was so he could waddle onto campus and take the glory of taking
pictures with students.” I counteracted with, “First of all, I don’t know what his
weight has to do with anything. Attack a person on their views not their weight,
it makes you sound uneducated. Secondly, this was a bipartisan bill, both
republicans and democrats voted for it. Also, both democrat and republican
students will benefit from it! There is no need for protest when this bill has
done nothing more put help keep costs down and give us better buildings and
equipment. Do you guys not get it? Who cares if he came here for publicity, we
are still getting our new buildings and equipment whether he was here or not.
Why are we even focused on why he came, the point was he came now get over
it and enjoy your tuition being where it is and not raised.”
Everyone from that point on was silent. My teacher changed the subject, and I
sat there with a feeling of accomplishment. The point is, I was out numbered, but
I didn’t let that stop me. Fight for what you believe is right. Never let someone
silence you just because you think they have power. The truth is they don’t, there
is always someone higher you can go to talk to. Never be afraid to speak what is
on your mind. I did, and I like to think I am respected for it.
P.S. After this whole thing, the next class my teacher announced she is retiring
after the Spring semester. Did I have a hand in it, I doubt it. But, hey it sure did
make me feel good."
