Ohio anti-union ad features teacher who’s also ‘wannabe political operative’

[alp227]

Building a Better Ohio – a right-leaning group supporting Senate Bill 5 and Issue 2 – is out with a new campaign ad featuring Kyle Farmer, a teacher in the Liberty-Union Thurston School District.

In the ad, Farmer extolls the virtues of the legislation that would strip Ohio’s public employees of nearly all of their collective bargaining rights. But Farmer is no ordinary teacher.

According to the Columbus Dispatch:

Farmer is the chairman of the Fairfield County Republican Party. On his Twitter page, he calls himself a “wannabe political operative,” and he is a member of Republican Gov. John Kasich’s steering committee of teachers assembled to help him determine how merit pay (a provision of Senate Bill 5 and the state budget) should be implemented.

2. Interesting in the ad it says he is a teacher .

When I heard his spew I thought that he must teach at a church school hence no union. Wonder if I'm right. The Rethugs are so lazy they don't even try to hide the facts. They know that their nonthinking voters will gobble up whatever is served to them. Very sad!
