Dear Editor:

With trepidation, I'll summon attention to the recent public school news not reported by mainstream media.A Mass. school principal renamed Valentine's Day "Caring and Kindness Day." She then perverted St. Patrick's Day into "O Green Day." This attack on the Catholic Church is an assault on our religious (Catholic and non-Catholic) freedom.A S.C. kindergarten student was harassed at school by a government agent who confiscated her food. The girl was lectured that her healthy bag lunch, provided by her mother, didn't meet government standards. This agent bullied the 5 year old into eating school cafe deep fried, hydrogenated oil, chicken chunks, an unhealthy food. This little girl was taught that her mother was negligent and only government can be trusted to provide her needs. This Marxist nightmare is being repeated across the U.S.Elementary students were forced to memorize a poem praising B.H. Obama, even if they disagreed with it's liberal viewpoints.A middle school girl, who wrote a conservative essay, was victimized by a leftist teacher-administrator. Her grade was sabotaged and she was suspended from school.A Mass. elementary student drew a fictional pictorial of his dad shooting monsters and burglar. Consequently, the little boy's father was arrested, persecuted-prosecuted. I wonder if Castro's Cuba inspired the Mass. Crimes Code.At a San Antonio, TX high school basketball game, teens who cheered "USA. USA" were "quickly silenced and will be punished" by the goon squad. Officials were concerned the chant could offend illegal aliens and their little feelings.This radical left agenda to indoctrinate our children, the future of our nation, must be challenged. Teach your children to resist and reject this assault on our constitutional rights and civil liberties. If you consider high grades attainment important, kids may pretend compliance, in school, as long as they get debriefed, and deprogrammed at home.Organize protests at school districts, when offended. Vote out all politicians, federal, state and local, who support oppressive school policies.Sincerely,John Bird,Lehighton,Tea Party & 9-12er
