Wis. Teacher Threatened, Bullied By Teachers, Union For Supporting Governor

Posted by Brian
Unions and the education establishment continuously tout their support of free speech. They even take kids out of school to participate in protest marches, dubbed "field trips", to give the students a first hand look at what free speech looks like. Apparently their support of free speech doesn't apply to members of their union who may disagree with their official positions.  They have to march to the same drumbeat and have a monolithic school of thought.  If you step outside of that, which is to actually have your own thoughts and opinions, you are ostracized and bullied, which is supposedly what they preach against to the students they teach. Hope all of their students are taking note.  



Union Radicals Harass Teacher Who Dared to Support Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

by Education Action Group
KENOSHA – Apparently there’s no room for free thought or disagreement within the Wisconsin Education Association Council.
We suppose that’s not terribly surprising for a group that has to force its members to join.
Still, it’s troubling to hear that Kristi LaCroix, the courageous public school teacher who had the guts to film a television ad supporting Gov. Scott Walker’s reforms, is being harassed by union zealots to the point where she wants to change careers.
LaCroix, who teaches at Lakeview Technology Academy in the Kenosha school district, recently posted the following on her Facebook page, according a news story from WISN 1130:

Are Race Based Attacks On The Rise?

Posted by Brian

A group of white supremacists kill a 49 year old black man in Mississippi, only three days after black teens target white victims at the the Wisconsin State Fair.  A group of about thirty black men beat a white man, openly calling it "Beat Whitey Night", at the Iowa State Fair last August.  This was not supposed to happen in Obama's 'post-partisan' world.  Yet, it is happening.  These aren't confrontations between  groups of individuals.  These vicious acts are targeted towards those whose only mistake was being a white or black person in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I am afraid that these types of incidents are only going to get more frequent as political rhetoric intensifies leading up to the election in 2012.  The demonization of the Tea Party is already under way.  We are told that we are older white people who are racists, bigots, homophobes, anti-Mexican, and are compared to terrorists. Most who hurl these accusations have never been to a Tea Party event.  If they had been, they would see that there are blacks, Hispanics, whites, men, women, old, young, Democrats, and Republicans. As with any large gathering there are going to be those who bring signs which are in bad taste, or even racist.  At the events I have been to, those individuals have been asked to leave and that we are not supportive of those views.  Of course, those are the signs that are featured on the news to further the notions of racist Tea Partiers.  Lucky for us we are also treated to the likes of Janeane Garafolo, who apparently has designated herself to speak for every black in the country, saying the disagreeing with President Obama is "racism, straight up".  I disagreed with President Clinton too, and we were told that he was the first black President, so I guess I have been a "racist straight up" since the early 90's.







With Obama continuing to use his rhetoric to divide by race, income status, and other means, pitting American against American, I have serious concerns that these incidents are only going to become more common, and involve larger numbers of people and victims.
