Several new websites and a Facebook page are taking aim at teachers in the Elkhorn Area School District.

Called the Elkhorn Area School District Whiny Teacher Association, the website, elkhornwisconsinwhinyteachersassociation.blog.com appears to take issue with unionized teachers in the Elkhorn Area School District.

The site's apparent tongue-in-cheek message reads, "Under the threat of having to pay for some benefits, the honorary Elkhorn Area School District Whiny Teachers Association is in full session!

"What a shame! Teachers will have to pay something toward their health insurance AND NOT THE TAXPAYERS DOING IT FOR THEM!"

The website has shown up on at least four blogging platforms, as well as the press release site, www.prlog.com

The sites do not identify who is behind setting them up.

Public employees, including teachers unions, have been rallying at the state Capitol for a week in opposition to a bill that would strip them of most of their collective bargaining rights, as well as setting minimum contributions for health and retirement benefits.
