I just e-mailed the Defiance School District to complain about busing kids to mccane's

[panader0]

rally there today. Without the thousands of kids bused in, mccrypt would have had a nearly empty venue. I said that I was sure that many of those kids parents were not mccane supporters, and that if one of my kids was used in that way, that I would be pissed. (Not in those words). How would you like your kids to be used that way?

6. Would you have felt the same way if it was an Obama Rally?

Seroiusly.. not trying to be snide. If you would have been upset if they bussed in a bunch of kids to an Obama rally - then you go with it! But, it's not fair IMO to be ticked about doing it to one campaign.. but happy about it at another.

I think if the parents OK it.. it's fine either way. You don't have to agree with the policies to see that attending a campaign even is a "teachable moment". ;)

7. Personally, I would feel it's just as wrong.
