"Mean, nasty, rude people" oh well, I just wish she would have given me a reason why she believed it, as in the past she used to give me a reason to think. (I think it has to do with her being tired. The new batch of students that entered aren't trying as hard--34 fights in the school this year, I think we might have had 3 the whole 3 1/2 years I was there)

She's a democrat because she's in a teachers union, and teachers unions love democrats.
Teachers unions also hate Republicans because they tend to cut funding to education and impose lots of standardized testing.

It was decided that some time was needed after the election to let things cool down.
I believe politics in and of itself is not cause for lockage, but instead if something is potentially debatable and heatedly so, then it gets closed. But I defer to the basement mods to define their policy more clearly.
