James O'Keefe?you know, the young guy who dressed up like a pimp and, with his hidden camera, took down ACORN and then was arrested for trespassing in Senator Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office?is back. A few months ago he released another of his undercover films, titled Teachers Unions Gone Wild, which purportedly shows attendees of the New Jersey Education Association's summer leadership conference chanting that they will kick the governor, Chris Christie, ?in his toolbox.? But one teacher is battling back. Alissa Ploshnick, who was suspended for nine days from her job and denied a pay raise after reportedly appearing in O'Keefe's video speaking positively (and explicitly) about the difficulty of firing a tenured teacher, tells the New Jersey Star-Ledger of the hidden-camera footage, ?I felt like I was raped.? Sheesh. What is going on in New Jersey?
