It's not a surprise that students are being taught liberalism and anti-war propaganda at a young age. It is quite surprising, however, that they are being taught and encouraged to aid and abet the enemy in a time of war. That's right - students are encouraged to aid and abet the enemy during a time of war by attempting to demoralize our soldiers around the world. (I had to write it twice to make sure you read it correctly.)
David Andreatta of the New York Post wrote in an article on Monday about Pfc. Rob Jacobs. Jacobs is a soldier based about 10 miles from the North Korean border. Being a native of New Jersey, he was excited to receive several letters from sixth-grade students at JHS 51 in Park Slope, near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. He was quite startled and disappointed (to say the least) when he started reading the letters. The students' teacher and chief propagandist, Alex Kunhardt, encouraged his students to write letters filled with anti-war, anti-Bush, left-wing rhetoric.
Excerpts from the letters included: "Even thoe [sic] you are risking your life for our country, have you seen how many civilians you or some other soldier killed?" and "I know your [sic] trying to save our country and kill the terrorists but you are also destroying holy places like Mosques."

She was proud to say, she had done the same type assignment, without telling the children what to write, but 100% decided Bush's policies were wrong, and the soldiers need to come home, now.
The problem is I don't believe you got 100% without some coaching. Think back to when you were that age. How many times did you get 100% on an issue without some coaching going on. I'd almost bet the assignment included something to the effect of letting Bush know that the troops needed to come home. I went to school during Vietnam and even with all the radical protesters you still didn't get 100% against the war. Something smells here and I believe it's the teacher.
This is absolutely appalling. Can you imagine the shock and dismay that the soldiers receiving these letters must feel? The teacher behind this should be fired, with a great deal of publicity, to give other liberal teachers pause.
