Your administrator is right about the campaign paraphenalia. You should not have more Bush than Kerry (or vice versa). It is not your place to encourage kids to become Republicans.
I agree totally. I live in a very leftist environment in California. My sons (11,13) attend a school where ALL the teachers and admin are leftists. I keep a close watch on the school. If they put up Kerry stickers in a classroom I would blow my stack big-time! Better all campaign stuff stay out of the classroom.
My sons are young conservatives and they'd come running to complain to me if they got any propaganda or political attitude from a teacher. LOL!
