Prop 30 had better fail.
I’m outraged.
My granddaughter’s 8th grade English and History teachers are campaigning in their classrooms!
Both have signs (bumper stickers) taped to the chalk boards.

That is illegal. California law says:
"No school district or community college district funds, services, supplies, or equipment shall be used for the purpose of urging the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate, including, but not limited to, any candidate for election to the governing board of the district."
This prohibition includes posting any campaign material in the classroom, unless campaign material for both sides are posted.
You're right to be outraged, but I'd go further. Have your granddaughter get a few pictures on a cell phone, making sure that some of the pictures show enough context to rule out any contention that it is some OTHER classroom.
Thereafter, I'd call, in a sweet-as-pie manner, for the school's principal and ask whether this is legal, proper, etc. With any luck, not only will the electioneering disappear (for awhile), but you'll also catch the teacher in a lie when s/he denies to the principal that the bumper sticker was ever displayed. You'll have the contrary proof!
They don’t want to have to contribute to their own pensions.
