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....

It’s unfortunate but most of the educators of our children are liberal morons.

Betty on the far left. She's a union teacher. Union objectives are far more important to her than students. some_text

This is actually a form of voter suppression. Something the Democrats are very experienced at

The union seems to think they own the school.

Me thinks they can suck it.

Weightwise, they are kind of a reverse Dred Scott deal: 5/3rd of average.

Looks like they have troughs. Hopefully they don't follow Michelle's own dining habits.

Those are some real heavy hitters; maybe Obama’s wookie is on to something with school lunches - for teachers.

Remember the introduction to Sarah Palin, following the convention, was to be at a Fairfax VA school? They were kicked out and went to a local park!

Same reasoning at that time.

So it is not really about education, but about politics? As one union official once said: “we will care about their education as soon as they join the union.”

We, the enlightened illuminati believe plebs have no right to free speech, therefore we demand the rally for the evil Trump be cancelled..
