Especially considering how many women teach, that has an added resonance.

It's also union-busting 101: make the workers look bad, create an image of fringe discontents who are just trying to make trouble for the nice little worker bees who are happy.

Their slander of the NEA is pretty audacious though. It's the biggest labor union in the US.
