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. [/quote]
