Because of the continuing campaign to discredit Dr. Peebles,
I think that we have to receive these new charges with
a fair amount of skepticism.  We don't know if she asked
a district employee to do homework for her, make a copy
of a class assignment, or drop something in the mail,
if in fact any charge is true.

While I would agree that if true any one or all of these might
be justification for reprimand or dismissal, I think that
the primary justification (as in Monicagate) would have to be
stupidity.  When you know the jackals are nipping at your
heals you need to keep your hands clean and your cigar in
your pocket.

Regardless of whether it is used by conservatives or liberals 
I find this constant harassment strategy to be offensive.
