The Douglas County Federation (DCF) has its hands full trying to unseat the current reform-minded school board in this November’s election, but it appears the teachers’ union has freed up some staff and a sizable chunk of change to put towards defending Senators John Morse and Angela Giron from historic recall efforts.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) – DCF’s national organization – has donated $25,000 to one of the groups backing Morse and Giron. That’s money not going into teacher training.
One of the DCF’s endorsed candidates – Ronda Scholting – has also been a Giron donor in the past.
And they even appear to have freed up staff to spend some time running the recall defense campaign of Angela Giron. The AFT Colorado Executive Director who left in June is running Angela Giron’s recall defense campaign.
Despite the union-backed school board candidates in Douglas County trying to claim they are non-partisan, it’s clear they’re part and parcel of the very Obama-machine that’s trying to beg, borrow and steal their way to recall victories.
We just wouldn’t suggest the union and their candidates tell residents of Douglas County about it. We can assure you, gun control is even less popular in Douglas County than it is statewide.
Doesn't surprise me that they supported that ideology. They will lose.
but apparently they are using money like they are ONE
I for one am proud of the direction of Douglas County.This particular union is hopefully seeing it's power being ripped away from it.School should be about education not empowering the union/democratic faithful.
Be careful where you put your hate in this. The Union is not a part of Douglas County or Douglas County Schools. The Union has been effectively ousted from Douglas County Schools District and are on the outside looking in, doing all it can to weasel its way back in. We want to keep them on the outside lookin' in. This support of Giron and Morse is just what they can't help but do. They are Obama tools. If they are Obama tools, wanting gun control is something they have to do, too. If I've got it all wrong on this, somebody straighten me out.
Maybe the teachers union needs to be "recalled" too.
Douglas County? OMG – unbelievable.
This isn't Douglas county. Douglas county severed ties with the union a while ago. Don't hate on Douglas county because some lame union is trying to force their way in.
wth does douglas county have to do with this. they need to mind thier own buisness.
I ll never contribute anything to any douglas county school now that this info is out, screw those Obama ass kissing commies bastards!
