Teachers are a significant bloc with the Democratic Party. Would teachers actually walk away?

I have to say after the scapegoating of teachers by Duncan and Obama, I am not happy that I voted for him. I could be easily convinced to vote Green in 2012 and stay home in 2010. Duncan's response to the Central Falls High School teacher firings and Obama's Race to the Top have got me fired up! I know how important a child's education is. I am a teacher but more importantly I am a parent. I have no use for Duncan, Obama, or their agenda.

I hope the AFT and NEA put their endorsements in play this November and in 2012. If they don't hear anything good from Obama on education, and if the scapegoating doesn't stop I hope the NEA and AFT withhold donations and endorsements.
