Education Secretary Rod Paige says he chose poor words in calling the nation's largest teachers union a "terrorist organization,"
His words startled members of his audience, triggered outrage from prominent Democrats and deepened the divide between the country's top education official and its largest union.
"I can tell you what my first response was: Scary. That's really frightening," said Diana Garchow, a special-education teacher at Highland Elementary School in Bakersfield, Calif. "It's scary that you can't voice an opinion in this country without being called a terrorist. ... I don't care if it was a joke or what it was, that was a totally inappropriate comment."
