The democratic sample ballot for Virginia was in my elementary student's folder

Name the school or it didn’t happen.

My thinking is that if they included one ballot, and didn’t include the other, it was inferred that the school was supporting those candidates.

Are you saying the OP inferred it? Or that the school implied it? Please don't tell me you meant that the school inferred it.

Your word choice of “implied” is better. Typed too quickly.

Agreed. OP is so obviously full of it.

There are only a few days each school year that the schools permit outside groups to send flyers, and this wouldn't qualify. OP is full of it.

It is often just kids stuffing the folders and the flyers are from the teacher's mailbox, or someone drops them off at each classroom last minute. There's a good chance nobody really looked at them before they got sent home.

While I'm sure this is not "policy" it definitely may be "reality".

This is what I was going to say. We had Ds and Rs at BTSN (for kids at two different schools). In every one of my kid’s schools, every year, it’s been a PTA mom who stuffed the weekly folders. And the (usually) SAHMs who can come to the school in the middle of the day and do this also have the time to volunteer other places—like political parties. I would bet a lot that some mom got overly enthusiastic and added the flyers without permission, and probably did not realize it wasn’t allowed (although she should have known it was a bad idea). And I bet if you know the moms in your kids class, you can figure out in about 20 seconds who was responsible.

Email the teacher. Cc the appropriate admin (principal or assistant principal) and say this came home, and ask if they were aware. But nicely. Bucause I am 98% certain that neither the teacher nor anyone at the school did this, or was aware it happened. And that the culprit is a volunteer. If that is the case, the school can talk to that person responsible and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

But this doesn’t scream school scandal to me. It sounds like a volunteer who didn’t think it through. And if everything that goes on in a school to worry about, a democratic sample ballot in a weekly folder is small potatoes. Especially if it was a volunteer error and not political activism by the teacher.

Yep, if this really happened it would have been on the news because it would have been the whole class or whole school, and someone non-anonymous would have complained.

It did happen. The school is mostly low income immigrants and the parents probably don't care that the sample ballot was in the folder. I'll bet the pp that suggested it was a parent was correct. There's no room parents at this school, but I know that in previous years it was a parent volunteer that did the folders.

As far as btsn, there may or may not have been republicans there, I wasn't paying attention. You can't ignore the democrats because they are aggressive and in your face. They always are on Election Day too. The republicans are never aggressive like that.

Right. Democrats are always in your face and Republicans are always laid back at polling places.

You just lost a lot of credibility. The people handing out leaflets are always annoying, regardless of party affiliation. It ehy always back off pretty quickly if you say No Thank You.

Umm, you might want to check your reading comprehension because that "Nothing to see here, move along" is NOT what's being posted here. If you really feel it is, please quote the posts where that is the message. I'm seeing a lot "That's not allowed" and "This is a troll post." I'm now wondering if you're the troll OP who's sockpuppeting to stir things up...

OP, you would know who fills the folders for your child's class, there is usually a sign up genius for volunteers.

So fake.

No, there isn’t a sign up genius for it. I’ve never heard of a school using a sign up genius for this. The school uses sign up genius for recruiting volunteers and donations for large school wide events only (international night, teacher appreciation week etc). I have no idea who does the folders. Last year nobody did and the students took their papers from their bins and placed it in their own folder. I will say that I don’t think the teacher placed the sample ballot in the folder, so it was probably a parent volunteer.

The point of the thread was to ask if anyone else has seen this. I guess not. Call me a liar, but I’m telling you, it did happen.

Right, because everyone who disagrees with your leftist worldview simply MUST be a troll.

My kids have been at 3 different FCPS elementary schools and the room parent or teacher has always sent around a sign up genius for volunteers for the weekly envelopes.

So which school was it?

Which grade? Did kids in other classes and grades also get this flyer?
