The union that represents most teachers in Maryland called on the Worcester County school system to block Donald Trump's campaign from using a high school gym to hold a rally Wednesday evening.
"Donald Trump and his divisive, fear-mongering rhetoric have no place in the halls of Maryland's public schools," Maryland State Education Association president Betty Weller said in a statement. "Trump's eagerness to bully minorities would be unacceptable if it came from any of our students."
Liberal group Progressive Maryland issued the same call and launched an online petition that had been signed more than 500 times by Tuesday afternoon.
Trump's rally is being held at Stephen Decatur high school in Berlin at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz have already held events in Maryland, as the protracted battle for the Republican nomination continues.
Carrie N. Sterrs, a spokeswoman for the school system, said the Trump campaign approached the schools about using the gym and is paying a fee of almost $5,000. The school system is aware of the calls to cancel the event, but Sterrs said the rally is still scheduled to go ahead as planned....

Is the 3rd one a male or a female? Not being flippant or sarcastic; I really am not sure of the sex of that individual.
Trump’s on record saying he will take a chainsaw to the department of education.
(And the EPA.)
It’s way past time to tar and feather these fascists.
They all look rabidly over-weight!
Filled with a burning self-righteousness, they have become what they profess to hate.
I checked and the 3rd from the right is named Bob. Now I realize, with today’s society, that doesn’t mean male 100% of the time.
The American classroom has long since become an indoctrination venue for the far Left.
Hell, they're ALL on the far left. You can't fool me.
But they sure look like the typical liberal, umm, err, "brain trust" don't they?
Betty Weller sounds divisive and fear-mongering.
Well, there is an awful lot of chalk in schools...
;)
Bobra Ann?
It looks like they ATE Moochelle!
Betty Weller sounds like a typical union fascist trying to shut down free speech.
Yes, God forbid we should have candidates that want to guard our borders and enforce who is allowed to enter our nation, like every other country in the world.
God forbid we should do background checks on muslims that enter OUR country.
I have no problem with that
Trump could make their heads explode by holding a special press conference with experts telling teachers and other union members that they can take a religious exemption and give all their dues money to charity instead of to the union thugs.
The Eastern shore is pretty conservative
A former democrat givernor referred to the eastern shore as a “shithouse”
I sure hope this rally goes on and they tell,these chowderheads just because they call something “hateful and divisive” does not make it so
And any kid who attends the rally to,listen for himself gets the next day off school
In no time at all, some poor kid is going to get suspended and charged if he has chalk in his possession on school grounds. That’s how these idiot school administrators think.
Privatize the schools. Completely. From K through PhD. Get the government completely OUT of the education business.
