Dear Editor:

I am livid!!!! I just found out from my daughter that she has been forced for the last two days and will have to continue again tomorrow to watch the lying communist documentary by the liar and traitor to this the greatest country ever, the United States, entitled “Bowling for Columbine”!

I have “tolerated” her statements to my daughter and her classmates, that...”President Bush did not win the election, that he stole it, that Gone With the Wind was the biggest farce of a movie ever because the battlefield scenes never happened, and white women were not terrified , tormented, raped and murdered!

I have not sent my children to school to be indoctrinated to become lying, stealing cheating communists! I refuse to pay the salary of any such so called “educator, threw my taxes. I demand her immediate resignation! She should be used for an example to all other such like minded so called educators!!!!

She is a disgrace to God and Country!

Sincerely,

[EggsAckley]

I would pull her out of that class, and possibly place her in another school, or even better, look into home schooling, if you can.

I am sending this letter to the Hinton News, The Beckely Register-Herald and on to anyone that would like to pass it along as well. I am livid!

I plan on making a trip to the school tomorrow, and I will be calling the governor of WV, the Attorney General, and the WV Department of Education.

You might want to make that a bit more coherent. Like supplying an antecedent for the pronoun "her."

[isthisnickcool]

I suggest that you run for a school board position.

[Junior]

You might want to run a spell check before sending this. Otherwise, they're going to pillory you as an uneducated hick.

Well, there is that screen name.....

LOL! Just kidding. Give them a break. They were on a "roll"...

[MineralMan]

Before you send this, spell-check it, and make it clear who the "her" is. As it stands, it will simply be discarded. It is very important to write well when you complain. A well-written, grammatical, and properly-spelled letter carries much more weight.

Does the NRA have a contradictory Documentary? The opposing view of the NRA should be given equal time. Where is the market place of ideas?

This would be a good NRA case, all we want is equal time.

This would be particularly viable because of the case where the girl sued a school that would not allow not pro-homosexual speaker in a sexuality panel discussion.

[Cboldt]

A well-written, grammatical, and properly-spelled letter carries much more weight.

It's also important to recite what you want as a remedy.

Having your attorney co-sign isn't a bad idea either.

[Maria S]

If this is legitimate, please name the town involved, the school, and maybe even the teacher. A few letters to the editor then might be in order from others. Seems a little vague.

[countrydummy]

lol It is because I am still so mad I can barely see the screen before me! lol

[longtermmemmory]

Be specific in your letter. Which school is this, which teacher? Did you complain to the principle and were your concerns disregarded?

You may want to couch this as censorship. "The school at X refuses to show any non-liberal perspectives on gun control. Instead they will only allow the dubious 'mockumentary' made by an admitted maxist. When I contacted my child's teacher and principle, I was advised that the 'mockumentary' was the only political opinion allowed taught to children."

Rants are fine, believe me, I've written more than my share... But run a spell check and check your grammar, for example; threw my taxes should be through my taxes...

And FWIW; when you're getting ready to go to war with bureaucrats; and Lord knows I support you; it's best to write your thoughts and let them sit for at least 24 hours if possible before going over them again... Pure anger, while frequently justified, and I believe entirely justified in this case, is best fought from a logical, well laid out, and coherent front.

[Junior]

Take a couple of minutes, grab a beer, watch the tube and get your mind straight. Take what you've written and edit the daylights out of it. The liberal media has a mental stereotype of what a conservative is, and we don't need to give them any ammunition.

[countrydummy]

This is why I posted it here. I realize it is full of emotion, I meant it to be.

[ForOurFuture]

Tone it down a bit.

[Esther Ruth]

Forget about the letters and spell checking, lets all just get some trumpets, lots of trumpets, and start going around all the school all over the country, blowing our trumpets and wait for the wall of these wretched schools to start falling down!!! It sound like it would do us good to let off a little steam.

[countrydummy]

yes, I should have went for a walk before writing it, then again......threw should be through...lol, still mad!

[Integrityrocks]

I read the rest of the posts and agree on the letter content issue. You have a very good reason to be livid. I would send a copy to RUSH, MICHAEL REAGAN, SEAN HANNITY AND TO THE NRA. They will get you some real press.
