We live in a very conservative part of Alaska, yet most people who are employed by the district are dems. Nepotism at it's best, with several family members from each family employed; boy they stick together too.

We don't even have prop taxes where we live, that's how conservative it really is. People out here hate any type of organized govt, yet the school district employees live in their own little world of liberalism. I remember being at In-service meetings and the speaker would rant about George Bush and how his policy was destroying education. Nothing said about the current Pres nowadays, ha.

Anyway, I guess we're fortunate we can still be registered Republicans and teach here; just don't try dropping out of the NEA;;;; or you'll be gone quick, no joke how it really is.

I once got heat about bringing a military recruiter in for 2 hours to talk to the kids. Ya, it seemed pretty normal thing for me to do too.
