I think that you make a major mistake, making this a Republican Democratic issue. I wish that it were, at least in the sense that one party would take a clear cut stand against it. But neither has! And your focusing on politics will tend to defeat your point with people whom you are trying to convince to help clean up the schools.
On the other hand, I think that local candidates would be well advised to take this up, stand up to the expected smears from the media, and persist until at least in their own communities, they prevail. But in this, as in many other areas of modern American life, it looks like Conservative citizens are going to have to find a way to lead the politicians, not the other way around.

Thanks for your input, William.
I will certainly keep this in mind.
