A district official said he couldn't comment on Thompson's employment history with the district but said district policy doesn't allow discussion of political issues with students while employees are on duty.

What kind of standard is that? Everything is arguably a political issue except what day it is.

Saying that you dislike the beggars at the intersections is arguably a political issue. Mentioning that you attend a Christian church is arguably a political issue.

I can see a prohibition against campaigning for a party or candidate, but such a broad prohibition against talking about something which could possibly be construed as a "political issue" is insane.

We can no longer have a discussion it's a political thing.
That's OK with me, bring it on !

The year is 2004 A.D. There's no way to get away from it.
