Hamilton: Pro-PYPers ‘Militant’

“While we would have liked to have taken a measured approach, a group of parents who have been militant in their support of PYP, have really taken away that opportunity” — Chairman Tom Hamilton of the Coeur d’Alene School Board re: move to hurry up hearing on Primary Year Programme at Hayden Meadows.

Question: Is “militant” too strong of a word for Hamilton to use to describe parents who support the PYP program? Could the same word be used to describe those who have successfully overthrown the International Baccalaureate program and now are targetting PYP?
