Pratt on Texas has received, from a reliable source, yet another example of public school personnel using taxpayer owned systems and time to engage in electoral politics.
This time it is the superintendent at Shallowater ISD in Lubbock County. School chief Phil Warren forwarded an email from a very active, big-money Texas political action committee to other school faculty and staff who serve under his authority. He used his official school email address and sent the email to the official school email addresses of his employees. It would be hard to argue that it was not also sent via the taxpayer-owned school computer network.
This is quite similar to the behavior outlined by another teacher recently in which the entire faculty was called to an auditorium to hear the school boss rundown Republicans and advocate for Wendy Davis. Read that account here.
The email at question in the Shallowater ISD is shown below.

Holy smokes…..if this “leader” of this school district is this blatant use of influence on his staff. What kind of influence is he spreading throughout the student body? Outrageous! I have many friends in that District and I hope they start raising some hell about this abuse of power and position.
Your right Pratt! Politics is local – wow from the national to very local the parallels and similarities are spooky. ENOUGH!
Has he bought a retirement home in Colorado and their newly legalized altered mindset?
I hate to break the news to you retards, but it is about as impossible to sway someone’s political beliefs via email as it is to cure cancer with gummy worms. Stop crying over spilled milk.
Are you so ignorant to believe it’s about the contents of an email? The issue is using taxpayer resources to politic and undue influence upon those under one’s supervision. Surely that’s not too complicated for you to understand? The activity is on-going according to other sources. Are to assume that you believe such should continue without objection because you believe it to be ineffective?
