Occupy occtrocities: Teachers unions edition

Chicago Teachers Union protesters at Occupy Chicago
I have an intriguing collection of occtrocities for you this afternoon. The Occupy movement has jumped into the controversy over the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin in its own way--violently.

OWS takes an unusual interest in arcane education issues. In Iowa it is protesting online education, next week it will demonstrate against standardized testing in Washington.

Both items are anathema to the teachers unions--which has me wondering: Is the 'leaderless' Occupy movement being goaded into action by government-school unions?

Are there occupiers teaching in your kids' taxpayer-supported schools?

There's a heavy Marxist element writing Occupy. So it's nice to learn that the Pope has spoken out against communism, declaring that it "No longer corresponds to reality."

Nor does the Occupy movement.
