@SpringfieldNEA @Ray0451@officialSPS But he did do it without alienating his own members causing them to leave membership as many have since you pulled this. Many of us saw this coming.

Guide to upsetting election stories:
1. Wait before sharing.
2. People want to manipulate you.
3. What's the source?

5. Looks big on Twitter, but is it just a local incident?
6. Repeat #1. Anything truly important will still be there in an hour.
