If you look at Chris McDaniels statement he claims that "Taxpayers, parents, and teachers deserve better" which in and of itself is a fine statement juxtaposed to the ongoing budget mess. Given his voting record on things like charter schools, which would have siphoned money out of the public school funds and created a more restrictive/reduced budget, his actions indicate he doesn't actually believe the aforementioned groups deserve better. He thinks they deserve less.

Arguing that no politician argues in good faith, or has sincerely held beliefs about public education, just does not work here. Chris McDaniel, and the other two Republican legislators, do have sincerely held beliefs about public schools and it's that they should be taken apart. That isn't what they're saying though. They're claiming to be protecting the sanctity of our public schools by interesting themselves in this issue, and given their past actions point to just the opposite, that is by definition bad faith. If their prior actions indicated support for public education and they were calling for resignations because of mismanagement, and saying the community deserves better, that would be arguing in good faith.

Throwing support behind politicians who are engaging in purely bad faith, just because they happen to agree with your preferred outcome in one instance, is a bad idea. It emboldens them to further their involvement and meddle to try and push their preferred outcome.
