ijusluvit....I personally have great respect and appreciation for your family's contribution to education. My wife is a retired teacher and administrator who worked in a large system. One of the things that troubled her was those little notices in her school mailbox from the teachers union advising them to vote for the democrats because they supported the teachers. Of course they were printed and copied on school paper and school time. Time taken from teaching obligations they profess are "for the kids." She also belonged to the union but never agreed with their political activism using the school communications system to lobby for candidates. Have you ever received those little union arm twisters in your school mailbox or is it just a northeast thing?
