“Kentucky GOP sifting through teachers' emails for political misuse”




Link to article from the Courier Journal:




From the article:


“The first records request was sent in October, Watson said, after the party got some tips "about a lot of extremely, directly political email traffic going through the school system on teachers' emails."

After the election, the party decided to see if there were similar issues in other counties, so it submitted more records requests, he said.

Watson denied the requests were meant as intimidation, saying they were about "information gathering, whether government resources are used for political activity, and how widespread it is." He said the party is trying to "decide what to do with all this stuff" after seeing what it finds in the emails.”
