Michigan Republican state Rep. Paul Scott is facing recall. But since Scott has been a strong supporter of efforts to break teachers unions in the state, Michelle Rhee's StudentsFirst is riding to his rescue, putting more than $70,000 into defending him.

John Aravosis takes a look at who Rhee is defending just after having made an "It Gets Better" video:

While running for State Representative, Scott criticized his opponent for accepting donations from gay rights groups. He called those groups “far left and radical homosexual groups.” While running for Secretary of State, the Republican was criticized for gay baiting by the Log Cabin Republicans. He emailed supporters listing his top four priorities which included: “I will make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver’s license in any circumstance.” Yes, that should help get the economy back on its feet. During the same Secretary of State race, according to Log Cabin, "Scott touted the support of Former Bush 2004 Michigan Social Conservative Outreach Chair, Bill Voorheis, who hunts people down at conventions and other GOP functions to confront them about their supposed homosexuality.”

Once again Rhee reveals that union-busting and degrading the profession of teaching rank far higher on her priorities list than the students she allegedly puts first.
