Gov Kaine Violates School Board Policy

"IN MANY WAYS, Gov. Kaine’s visit Wednesday to Colonial Forge High School—where he shared the spotlight with fellow Democrat Albert Pollard—was benign. Mr. Kaine and Mr. Pollard appeared after school hours. They bedazzled not the general school population, but the Young Democrats Club. Mr. Kaine spoke about policies rather than politics. And he is the governor of the commonwealth, of D’s and R’s and royalists and anarchists—by definition a dignitary worthy of reception.

But the Stafford County School Board has a policy, for good or ill, that bars political campaigning at schools. This being so, central headquarters should have stuck by an earlier decision to deny the Kaine visit. It did not. It crawfished, changing the political equation hereabouts a week before the election." (LINK)
