Wwwweeeeelllllllll, actually, it is against the law <g>  Any school getting 
federal money is not allowed to engage in any politics!  The principal at 
that school was actively engaged in campaigning and using the school to 
campaign for Teflon during the election process.  Legally, during the next 
audit that school should have the following years funds substantially 
reduced to pay back money for any time used in any classroom and any time 
used by anyone in administration for *real* politics.  You can hold mock 
elections inwhich you give straight facts on each and every candidate.  You 
can not put up posters, which that principal did, encouraging people to vote 
for a particular candidate.  And, depending upon how blantant it is, the 
school could loose all federal funding unless that principal was removed and 
any teachers who were also actively involved.
