[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the school is a non-profit and accepts tax-deductible donations, then it is legally prohibited from endorsing a candidate or party.  Teachers and school administrators have the right to their own opinions in their personal time, but cannot endorse a politician or party in any official capacity.  Legal issues aside, it is bad form for them to bring up personal political opinions in class, especially when they are supposed to be educating students to form their own views of the world.[/quote]

"Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity."  https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/the-restriction-of-political-campaign-intervention-by-section-501-c-3-tax-exempt-organizations[/quote]
