Three van loads of Hughes High students were taken last week – during school hours – to vote and given sample ballots only for Democratic candidates and then taken for ice cream, a Monday lawsuit alleges.
The complaint was made by Thomas Brinkman Jr., a Republican candidate for Hamilton County auditor, and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes against Cincinnati Public Schools.
“They plan to bring four more high schools (to vote) this week,” Christopher Finney, COAST attorney, said Monday after filing the suit.
It seeks a temporary restraining order to prevent school officials from participating or helping students participate in partisan politics during school hours or with school property or employees involved.
But the school district’s lawyer denies any school connection.
“No CPS personnel engaged in the promotion of candidates or any political party,” CPS attorney Mark Stepaniak noted in a written release.

Good idea. And refer to them as "colored" and "Negroes" when you do it.
James,
Us be politically correct!
It is totally appropriate to refer to them as Blacks! In fact most prefer to be called Blacks instead of Colored Or Negroes.
The Cincinnatti Public school Officials & Personnel responsible for this debacle should be immediately terminated if found to be complaisant in this matter.
"Dr. McPherson" would be fine, though most people just call me Jim or James. Thanks for asking.
Though I'm not sure what facial features have to do with anything, I suspect that's as relevant as much else that passes for "discussion," here.
James i can think of many things to call you!
If i were you James i would not elaborate much about your facial features!
As well you would have more relevant discussions on this site James if you were more familiar with the facts&7 subjects being discussed.
Excellent comment Bud!
Lol! Bud James has to have big lips to accomodate that big mouth of his!
