FL Teachers Union Goes Ballistic Over: New TV ads, showing FL "Teachers of the Year" Support Jeb

Written by summer - a former Dem, now an independent and a FL certified teacher

For those of you wondering what's new in the FL gov race, the answer is: two new GOP TV commercials, showing Gov. Jeb Bush and four of FL's "Teachers of the Year" endorsing Jeb for governor.

The fact these FL teachers -- who are so well qualified and knowledgable -- support our current GOP governor has caused the FL Teacher's Union president to go bananas. She has actually written a letter to Gov. Bush demanding he take these ads off the air.

It seems the sight of outstanding educators supporting this governor is giving the FL Teacher's Union president a very rude awakening.

In addition to the FL Teachers Union president going off on a baseless rant to Gov. Bush, some in the FL media appear to be going nuts as well.

Their big complaint is FL Gov. Jeb Bush did not film these commercials at a public school; rather, he chose a private school.

They do not mention he did so for commercial production purposes. And, frankly, he was right to do so, because filming in a public school is a major hassle. But, they all claim the reason he chose a private school is otherwise. They also omit the fact Jeb has continuously been warmly welcomed whenever he goes to FL public schools, which he has done throughout his term as governor.

Here is a link, from the FL Teachers Union web site (the FL union is known as the FL Educators Association, or "FEA"), to nine articles and editorials about these commercials, which hit the airwaves today: click here. You'll also find the scripts to these two new commercials on this link.

If you want to read the FEA President's letter to Gov. Bush, click here. I notice she made no mention whatsoever of Gov. Bush's published response to the subject Orlando Sentinel article, which Gov. Bush has posted on his official campaign web site here.

Finally, I do not really consider this an editorial piece -- I am just honestly telling you what is going on here in FL today in this FL gov race.

BTW, if you are a teacher who wants to learn more about Gov. Bush's education policies, click here. And, if you are a teacher who already supports Gov. Bush, you can let his campaign know by clicking here.

I am predicting a surprisingly high margin of the black vote for Gov Bush in this year's election -- thanks to vouchers.

I've heard their shills downplaying Jeb's achievements on AM radio, after which I went and read your "Jeb's voucher plan..." thread again. The amount of hope that Jeb has given low-income families seeking quality education is just heart-warming.

What part of the First Amendment does this woman NOT understand?
