#RedforEd: Socialists Organizing Teachers to Turn Purple States Blue by 2020
[Breitbart] A well-funded and subversive leftist movement of teachers in the United States threatens to tilt the political balance nationwide in the direction of Democrats across the country as Republicans barely hang on in key states that they need to hold for President Donald Trump to win re-election and for Republicans to have a shot at retaking the House and holding onto their Senate majority.



This teachers union effort, called #RedforEd, has its roots in the very same socialism that President Trump vowed in his 2019 State of the Union address to stop, and it began in its current form in early 2018 in a far-flung corner of the country before spreading nationally. Its stated goals‐higher teacher pay and better education conditions‐are overshadowed by a more malevolent political agenda: a leftist Democrat uprising designed to flip purple or red states to blue, using the might of a significant part of the education system as its lever.

The movement takes its name from a political organizing tool first seen in Florida in 2010, when teachers union members wore red to express political opposition to public school reform proposals under consideration at that time in the state and encouraged parents and political activists from other unions to join them.
Continues.

#2 "Red" for MAGA? Isn't there a confusion of meme colors by #RedforEd? Red=Red States, Blue=Blue States.

How about a slogan such as #BlueforScrew_Ed?

#3 It's difficult to image teachers doing more politicking than they already do.
