MAIL CALL: Politics have no place in the classroom

Why is it that the “main news” medium does not want to repeat anything, good or bad, as long as it is the true and factual account on any of President Obama’s cabinet.

How could any of us, as parents, not question the moral interpertude of the safe school “czar,” Kevin Jennings. Mr. Jennings wrote “The Queering of Elementary Education.” Please read it — it will be an eye opener.

He was associated with NAMBLA, which is a group which promotes sexual activities between men and little boys as young as 18 months old. He also wants teachers to go thru training on how to teach homosexuality in school!

Now if Mr. Jennings wants to answer for his own warped viewpoints, that’s fine with me. But I don’t want my children or grandchildren or my great-grandchildren being taught anything about sexual relationships except what I, as a parent, want to teach them myself.

It is not the school’s job to teach sexual preference. I want my children to learn reading, writing, arithmetic, science about the Earth and geography about different parts of our world. I don’t want them taught about whether we came from monkeys or whether we were created by God. That is my job whichever way I see it. I want them to learn about other cultures but I want them to learn about their own culture first. I want them to learn history — American history. We are after all Americans. I want them to learn true history. History that has been happening for 200 years. I don’t want it changed to suit some beliefs of any particular group. I don’t want it changed to spare someone’s feelings. I want it taught as it actually happened.

America as a whole does not celebrate two Thanksgivings. The first Thanksgiving did not happen because the Pilgrims ran out of water! Who in the world thought that up?

I don’t want other religions taught in school when mine is banned. We don’t need to teach anyone’s religion in school. That’s why we have parents and churches. I don’t want anyone indoctrinating my children about anything but me and my beliefs.

Let’s get our schools and teachers back to teaching the basics and that is reading, writing, arithmetic and spelling.

Please write and call your Congressmen, and Senators, Representative, tell them, get politics out of our schools.

God Bless America and Americans! This means people who were born here and people who came here to be Americans!
