Governors Christie and Murphy Clash Over Education and Culture Wars
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized his GOP presidential primary opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for his response to the controversial new history standards adopted by the Florida Board of Education. Christie accused DeSantis of starting the controversy with the bill he signed and then avoiding responsibility for the aftermath. He also criticized the Republican Party for focusing on micromanaging curriculum instead of addressing more pressing issues like inflation and falling test scores. Christie's comments come as he campaigns to take former President Donald Trump out of the race.
