Teacher tells eighth grade class to dig up dirt on GOP field

President Obama may have a secret weapon to propel him to victory in November -- an eighth grade class in Virginia, whose students were told by their teacher to do opposition research on the GOP presidential field and then pass along whatever they found to the Obama campaign. Students in the Liberty Middle School honors class were divided into four groups, one for each Republican contender. "This assignment was just creepy beyond belief -- like something out of East Germany during the Cold War," one father told the Daily Caller. A spokesman for the Fairfax County school district tells The Blaze that, yes, research was conducted, but none of it (much to the relief of the GOP foursome) got into Obama's hands.
