SCHOOL BOARD VOTE

The Virginian-Pilot (Renegade Republicans, 4/16/96) correctly urges Virginia Beach voters to ``view with suspicion those who would toss the divisive issue of party politics into a school board race.''

Voters also should view with suspicion candidates endorsed by the VEA or NEA, lest they again put their schools in the hands of the powerful union largely responsible for the sad state of education interests of parents or their children.
