As apart of their new MEAexposed campaign, Education Action Group (EAG) put up the following billboards in Gladstone, MI.

Why? To provide some (much-needed) common sense to a dialogue that has otherwise been dominated by MEA propaganda, scare tactics, tantrums at board meetings, and–if that weren’t enough–the opening of their own crisis center.

As you can guess, negotiations between the school board and the employee union haven’t gone too smoothly. Which is generally a good thing in my book…

But a crisis center? Haha. To quote Police Chief Bruce Grady (think Super Troopers), “desperation is a stinky cologne”. Yes, especially when it’s coming from the MEA.

From MEAexposed.com:

[B]illboards were recently posted in the Gladstone community to paint a fuller picture of the school board’s situation there. The union has been using particularly over-the-top tactics…

The school board and larger community seem to have taken notice. To get a better understanding of what’s going on, check out the EAG video below.

   This is either funny or Sad… Haven’t determined which yet.

   Hmm. I’m actually wondering what the reasoning would be on either emotional reactions…

   This is awesome. I have heard a lot of people say that billboards don’t work in politics, something I have always doubted. While they may not work for candidates I think they are great tools for issue advocacy, which this goes to show.
