Virginia Outing Teachers Who Don't Support Obama

We all know that the management of the teacher's unions are all hardened lefties totally in the bag for the Democrats and Obama, but that's not necessarily true of the teachers themselves. However, in Virginia they've figured out a way to out the doubters:

Virginia Republicans are in an uproar after the state teacher's union sent an e-mail to its members encouraging them to wear blue-colored shirts to school to show their support for Barack Obama.

State Republicans are calling it an undisguised attempt to influence students' political views.

The Virginia Education Association sponsored "Obama Blue Day" on Tuesday. In an e-mail sent last week, it urged teachers to participate by dressing in blue.

"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!"

So, what do you think is going to happen to any teacher who doesn't wear blue? They can't be fired, of course, but you can bet they'll be browbeaten by their peers and any hopes they have of moving up within the school or the union will pretty much be done.

This is little more than blatant intimidation based on a person's political beliefs.

But of course, this isn't the only teacher's union story in the news. In New York the teacher's union is taking it one step further and handing out Obama-Biden campaign buttons.

UPDATE: This guy didn't get the memo from the union.
