God help this country if this is what they have taught to a 9 year old boy in New York City. Get him his tutu now, the poor child is done for.

Scary that the author is so proud of these little propagandized children. What's also scary is the prospect that Disney will follow their suggestions.

This is the entire letter written by the children, but the blog post by the author is excerpted. Full post at the link.

That is so sad.
But if that letter was written by 2 9 y o kids I will vote for Obama next time.

And yet being called “Prince” doesn’t seem to have put off some of the more...flamboyant...poofters who have held the title in Real Life.

While I would never go quite that far I agree that it was at the very least heavily coached.

So now truth and reason are to be considered “stereotypes” in the most negative sense of that word.

And God gave them over to a depraved mind...

Obviously, they didn’t visit the park during “Gay Days”. They’d have seen all the princesses and fairies they could ever hope for.

I sure hope the Cathedral School is not Catholic. I would guess it’s Episcopalian. The Episcopals are post-Christian, and don’t deserve to be called a church. More like a leftist social club.

If I were Disney's CEO,

Dear Sybilla and Dexter,

I'm sure your parents pressured you into writing that letter. I regret that, and find it sad. Tell them to please consider going elsewhere on their next vacation.

Sincerely,
Disney

P.S. Don't even think about visiting Stone Mountain Park. That would probably get your parents all upset as well.

The Cathedral School belongs to St. John the Divine in NYC - Morningside Heights, near Columbia University. They are the mother church for Episcopal Churches in NY City.

I visited there about a year ago. At the time they had had a huge sculpture of a dragon hanging from the ceiling, produced by a Chinese artist. I wasn’t quite sure of the point of it, and given that most of the pews were removed to accommodate the sculpture, I surmised they probably didn’t have many attendees at mass. It was a grand, beautiful church from the late 19th Century, but like America’s mainline Protestant past, I suspect now it is barely running on fumes, and that political correctness reigns supreme at this place.

This is child abuse. I weep at the thought that these children have “parental figures” who are paying at least $2,000 a month to have their own flesh and blood mentally abused at this institution. It will come home to roost one day. These children are already evidencing signs of a neurotic “disconnect” to their own childhood. It is unnatural and sadly, the shape of things to come unless God intervenes.

Isn’t there a whole historical thing about children writing letters to Stalin? Nothing but an ass listens to a child, they at best regurgitate propaganda.

A few years back, the Cathedral’s first telephone directory listing was “Boxoffice”. I guess they thought their worship services were off broadway shows. I’ve read about resident clowns, having to scoop up elephant poop in the center aisle and other assorted new age crap and goings-on in the cathedral for many years.

It was written by the teachers or parents. Probably carefully coached and approved. But even if not in that manner, it was still certainly written by the adults in the larger sense.
That wasn’t the little homos talking.

It is a reflection on the parents, and a window on society that we need to be aware is out there. These kids will grow up, and they will be even more whacked out than their ultra liberal parents.

Disney is in the money business. They will not commit financial suicide and anger stockholders.

I was guessing Episcopal. They use lesbian “priests” at their schools around here. Satan has taken hold of that church.

no this letter was dictated to the students by the teacher .. My bet is the students came back from vacation and the teacher asked the kids shared about Disneyland and the teacher went into indoctrination mode and mentioned the jungle cruise and the prince and princes issue she had with Disneyland and then convinced the kids to write the letter.
