The Republicans used school boards and children as foils for their political strategies in this year's elections.  They were conducted at the expense of good school policy and the dignity and education of our children.  They were brutal and effective.  These devices were the run up to the mid-terms and the presidential election.  Dems have to get in the game and combat this cynical campaign.  This short podcast is an effort to underscore what and why the Republicans did what they did.  John P.
