Pasco GOP committeeman's speech at school canceled again (but Organizing *Obama* for America got to speak)

From the Tampa Tribune:
A Republican’s off-again, on-again speaking engagement at Gulf High School is off – again.

The high school’s plan to allow Republican state committeeman Bill Bunting to speak came after students at Gulf heard a partisan talk a few weeks ago from a supporter of President Barack Obama.

That supporter, a volunteer with Organizing for America, reportedly gained access to the school by claiming she was with the Pasco Supervisor of Elections Office and there to register students to vote.
I like it…an Obama supporter is (accidentally) allowed to speak, but the district chooses afterward to not balance out the situation…

You should not be surprised. The left will do anything to ensure an Obama victory. This includes leftists in schools, government, the private workplace, etc.

Just doing satans work to indocrinate Christ’s children to support immorality and evil.

Should we promote two wrongs make a right?

But the school withdrew the second invitation Sunday on the advice of school board attorney Dennis Alfonso.

Alfonso told the school board Tuesday that the Obama supporter’s visit to Gulf High violated board policy that prohibits political activities at schools. Allowing Bunting, or any other partisans, to give similar talks would constitute another violation, he said.

“I was concerned that the remedy, the way to fix something that is wrong, is not to have another wrong to mitigate it,” Alfonso said.

That means representatives of the Libertarian Party, who also requested equal time, won’t be allowed to speak either.

While it may not be a remedy to everyone’s satisfaction, action was taken.

Organizing for America apologized to the school district and reported that the woman who spoke at Gulf was dismissed as a volunteer.
