re: Why are state employees and teachers not allowed to voice their opinion on social media?

Agree 100% with you, but I'd be lying if I said I don't present activities and discuss topics that enable them to come to the "right" decision on their own.

Anyways, since you're probably near Lake Broken Bow, I'm envious and am not goinhg to make an enemy of you. Frickin' love that place (especially pre tourist trap days).
