Regarding the LV Live article, note that the article was originally dated Nov 8 in the morning, and then updated in the afternoon - before any results of the election were known.
Now - that kind of behavior is absolutely wrong, period. I hope that the school board/administration hands out HARSH punishments (suspensions, documentation on high school transcripts) and uses those students as examples, assuming they know who the students were. I see the principal called an assembly right away - I hope that principal put the bloody fear of universe into those who have either pulled garbage like that or would even consider it.
