I have mixed feelings about this.
Do I find a lot of this offensive? Yes, yes I do, but Dr. Ahart's wife is a private citizen and the picture with Dr. Ahart is on her personal account and was probably taken at their home. -thread- https://theiowastandard.com/des-moines-public-schools-superintendent-mocks-prayer-christian-faith-vulgar-wife-a-social-media-bully/

This story, and yes, Jacob wrote three stories about this today is more concerning because it demonstrates poor judgment for such a costume to be worn at a @DMschools event at a DMPS school. https://theiowastandard.com/wife-of-dmps-superintendent-ahart-wore-cat-trump-costume-to-dmps-sponsored-event-at-dmps-school-campus-around-dmps-students/
His final story is a follow-up the same day that the @DMSchools School Board did not reply to him the same day his first two articles were published.
This story is activism, not journalism. https://theiowastandard.com/des-moines-school-board-superintendent-silent-so-far-about-ahart-mocking-christianity-wifes-vulgarity-and-social-media-bullying/

Is all of this newsworthy? I guess I'm not all that concerned what his wife does. The picture of Dr. Ahart is definitely fair game and he should explain it, but, again, provided it didn't happen on school property or time and his bias doesn't become policy....
I just hope Jacob got a tip and didn't spend hours trolling through Dr Ahart's wife's social media accounts going back to 2016.
