A political statement is any expression that promotes or opposes specific political ideologies, candidates, policies, laws, or governmental actions. It includes messages that support or critique political parties, movements, or social issues tied to governance, public policy, or violence. These would all be considered inappropriate for the focus on school spirit.
Special messages regarding non-partisan encouragement of voting, messages related to natural disasters, and messages celebrating a national or international holiday or day of significance may be approved by the committee.
