Thanks to brother Fred I came upon this right-wing propaganda video targeting public school and teachers unions staring none other than Rahm Emanuel.
"A Tale of Two Missions," co-stars the head of the anti-union Michigan-based Education Action Group, Kyle Olson, and Juan Williams, who was fired from National Public Radio for making anti-Muslim comments on air.
The video is part of National School Choice Week, the continuation of a campaign promoting vouchers and privately-run charter schools and attacking public education and collective-bargaining rights for teachers. The campaign began with the film, Waiting for Superman in 2010 and is backed by EAG and the far-right Heritage Foundation whose own video "What is School Choice," is featured on the NSCW website.
Backers of NSCW include usual suspects, Michelle Rhee, John McCain, John Boehner, Joe Lieberman, Jeb Bush, and FOX News regular, Dick Morris. Others offering NSCW testimonials include Liz Dreckman of the Arizona School Choice Trust, Andrew Broy of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools, and Patrick Kaiser of the The Center for an Educated Georgia.
Surprised to see Chicago's Democratic mayor in the center of this right-wing campaign? I'm not.
Why do you think Rahm is throwing unions under the bus? You probably can tell I'm not from Chicago.
ReplyDeleteYour post above has provoked Olson and his scuzzy pal Andrew Breitbart to go on a new red-baiting campaign against you, Bill Ayers, Pres. Obama and Jose Rico. How low can these Republicans go?
