Huckleberries Hears …

... That Mary Souza of OpenCDA.com was told by the Coeur d'Alene School District to remove the district logo from her recent newsletter castigating Balance North Idaho for -- and I quote Mary -- sending out an emailing "filled with twisted, manipulative information that amounts to nothing but campaign trickery." At the top of her newsletter, entitled "Dirty Tricks vs. Honest Integrity," Souza posted three images, including one encouraging readers to vote in today's election and the School District emblem. A check of the newsletter post on OpenCDA.com today shows only the image encouraging school patrons to vote remains today. Seems the district considers use of school property (and that's why it considers unauthorized use of its logo) to be a no-no.

Thoughts?
