Vote for Trump and you vote for America

Vote for Hillary and you vote for global kleptocracy.

Sounds like a great place for someone to yell “Bill Clinton is a rapist!”

Dear Teachers:

When the socialists/progressives (like Hillary Clinton) took over Cambodia, they marched the teachers to The Killing Fields and put plastic bags over their heads to kill them.

Vote for Hillary Clinton if you want someone to put a plastic bag over your head.

Better yet, “Hillary Clinton is a murderer”. Proven point, if she went to court.

First of all, teachers should not be able to unionize.

They receive a government paycheck, and there’s a double standard them being able to vote on things that affect their employment directly.

Trump has made it known he wants to do away with the Department of Education and those who do not work for it are at a disadvantage here.

NEA members vote 100% against the change.

My teachers (my mom and dad) are supporting Trump, I guess NEA hates us home scholars...

But guess what, NEA, you hate America and American kids...
