Megan Fox becomes an unwitting teacher as she speak out against U.S. educational budget cuts in a new campaign video.

The Transformers star and boyfriend Brian Austin Green slam California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for slashing funds for public schools in the state.

In the sketch, posted yesterday on comic website FunnyorDie.com yesterday, Fox is accidentally placed as a teacher, janitor, nurse and Korean translator for a classroom way over capacity.

During the 3½-minute long video, Fox talks with the children in the packed classroom, who tell her most of the staff have been laid off.

At the end of the sketch, Green and Fox urge people to 'call, write and annoy the governor until he cries for his mommy'.

Jennifer's Body actress Megan, 23, says more than $17billion has been cut from state educational programs over the past two years.

Then 36-year-old Green, whose eight-year-old son Kassius is in the public schooling system, says the 'terminators in Sacramento' plan to cut another $2.5 billion.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell said last month that budget cuts have caused a 17 percent jump in the number of school districts facing financial uncertainty.

The campaign video had been viewed more than 340,000 times to date.
