TEACHERS TOLD NOT TO WEAR OBAMA BUTTONS - New York Post

TEACHERS TOLD NOT TO WEAR OBAMA BUTTONS - New York Post: "The teachers union has been handing out thousands of Barack Obama campaign buttons to its members, sparking a clampdown by education brass.

The Department of Education - which has a long-standing policy barring teachers from wearing campaign buttons in schools - is set to send out an e-mail this week from Schools Chancellor Joel Klein laying down the law."

This is looking like a concerted effort by teachers' unions to use their access to students for pro-Obama activism. Clearly, the Obama campaign knows how to influence and organize young people. And the teachers' unions are not hindered by rules against activism in the classroom.
