| 15. It tells me a couple of things. |
|
One, that removal of the activities didn't remove the taint, because the political association had already been made
and two, that we handed a weapon to the right-wing media, and they are still gleefully hammering it.
We know what the parents are saying when they call, because they are calling us.
I live and teach in a deeply red area, and our district has left it up to our discretion. Yes, we will view first and then decide, but we would have done that anyway. That's the professional way to handle it.
Even if we wanted to show it live, of course, we can't. It will be over by the time our kids walk through the doors. We have a late start, and are on the west coast.
