Action taken by an active political candidate and letters previously published in the Ellsworth County Independent Reporter have prompted this letter. I have recently seen the Bearcat image associated with the 327 School District and used for the children of this district to celebrate their scholastic and athletic achievements and to raise funding for their activities, be appropriated for personal political advantage. Candidates for office are barred from using “false claims of support” that state or imply support by political parties or an organization. I feel the Bearcat image should be reserved for the students and removed from partisan political use.
