Science : The Science Insider department of Science magazine profiles Joan Moorhead, an award-winning Davenport, Iowa, science teacher who has been named one of 14 co-chairs of National Educators for Romney . She has spent 33 years teaching in elementary and middle schools, and calls herself “a rarity as an active Republican teacher.” She has long experience as a Republican volunteer and believes that “persuading her colleagues in this political swing state to support what the Romney campaign describes as the candidate’s ‘bold education reforms that will put children first’ could prove to be her toughest assignment.” She does not belong to the National Education Association , a teachers’ union, because it supports Democrats who support abortion.
