[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our principal holds a get together in the spring for incoming parents of K students.  At this event, in response to an at best tangentially related question, she stated that [b]she would never go to an MD beach to spite the current R governor.[/b]  (The governor mandated that schools start after Labor Day in large part to help businesses at the MD beaches.)

Regardless of what you think of starting school later, or the governor more broadly, it is crazy that she would make such a sharp political jab at a welcoming event.  Either she didn't care, or she just assumed every would agree with her, neither of which is really ok.[/quote]

I will bet you dollars to donuts she didn't mention "Republican" - that she just said she  would never go to the beaches to spite the Governor, or that she would never go to the beaches because of the Governor's EO.  That's not partisan politics, that's disagreement with a policy that the governor implemented (that is contrary to all educational research, and makes life harder for innumerable people).

FWIW, I feel the same way as she does, and I'm voting for Hogan.  [/quote]

As I explained in a later post, it clearly was a partisan statement.  Even if it weren't, I don't think a welcome event is the place to take a position on a policy debate, particularly when it was irrelevant to the question that precipitated it and the event more broadly.[/quote]
