The Board of Ed is a *political* institution. Members use is as a platform to make political statements, like:
- Celebrate diversity! (by hiring ex-Super Carlos Garcia)
- Honor our Veterans! (by naming schools after them)
- Seperate is *not* equal! (by closing for MLK Birthday)
- Italians were colonialists! (by opening on Columbus Day)
- Tolerance for alternative lifestyles! (by staging musicals like Rent)
- Make love not war! (by teaching sex ed)
- Make war not Love! (by letting Army recruiters on campus and teaching abstinence)
- Big government is good! (by ever-larger funding requests)
