Middle School Students Encouraged to Send Demoralizing Letters to Soldier
Pfc. Rob Jacobs is a soldier based ten miles from the North Korean border. His home is in New Jersey. Therefore, it was not a surprise that he was excited when he received letters from sixth-grade students at JHS 51 in Park Slope; near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. But, that was before Pfc. Jacobs opened and read the letters. Monday, David Andreatta of the New York Post reported that these letters were “strewn with politically charged rhetoric, vicious accusations and demoralizing predictions that only a handful of soldiers would leave the Iraq war alive.”
The students’ indoctrinator (AKA “teacher”), Alex Kunhardt, had encouraged them to send letters to Jacobs that were to be filled with leftist rhetoric against the Iraq war, the soldiers and President Bush. At least nine of Kunhardt’s students followed his orders. As an example, a letter from a Muslim boy 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." To add insult to injury, Andreatta also advised that the envelope had a ‘smiley-face’ stamped on it.
Although “indoctrinator Kunhardt” refused to return phone calls, his principal Xavier Costelli responded in an inordinately cavalier fashion when he stated: “While we would never censor anything that our children write, we sincerely apologize for forwarding letters that were in any way inappropriate to Pfc. Jacobs. This assignment was not intended to be insensitive, but to be supportive of the men and women in service to our nation." You can tell he really meant it. Sure he did.
This is merely another example of leftist “academia”, now at the lower-grade levels, indoctrinating our children into their malicious and ever-increasing sadistic philosophies. It’s one thing for the leftists to write letters and complain to government leaders but, quite another to try to demoralize our troops by using their new and improved desperate weapon…our kids. This is a new low, even for the Left. So, the next time you hear a liberal/leftist say “we hate the war but, support our troops”, remember this scenario. Then, you can fairly and accurately (and with all intended sarcasm) say: “SURE you do!”
Would y'all do me a favor? Come over here and do something about this.

Yup. Public school.

I sent a letter (email) yesterday.
PING and pass it on.bump / ping!
Is there corroborating proof of the teacher's instructions, or were these kids influenced by leftist POS parents?
Good question.
this is absolutely outrageous.
this teacher should without fail be fired and if posible prosecuted for abusing or corrupting minors.
if his actions fall under the definition of treason, he should be tried and convicted of treason and sentenced to the maximum penalty.
THIS MAY NOT BE PERMITTED TO STAND.

"THE VOICE MAIL SYSTEM IS FULL AND CANNOT TAKE NEW MESSAGES AT THIS TIME"
yeah, I bet it IS full, now.
I'd have been proud to join in that fracas as well. Pass on a "Semper Fi" to your brother. God bless you both for your service.
