Teachers Union Calls For “Obama Blue” Brainwash Day

The Virginia Education Association is under fire from state Republicans after an e-mail circulated by the Association called on teachers to influence their students to vote for Democrat Party presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

The so-called “Obama Blue Day” e-mail reads, “”There are people out there not yet registered. You teach some of them,” the Sept. 25 e-mail reads. “Others, including our members, remain on the fence! Its time for us to come together, voice our unity, because we make a difference!”

“Let’s make Obama Blue Day a day of Action!” the e-mail continues. “Barack the vote!”

While VEA President Kitty Boitnott insists the e-mail was not meant to encourage teachers to use their classrooms for partisan political purposes,” Virginia Republican Party Communications Director Gerry Scimeca calls the move “a breach of public trust on many levels”.
