I'll have my first grader writing a letter to Pfc Rob Jacobs this afternoon.
This 8 year Air Force vet would love to have a few minutes alone with this teacher, and school board for that matter. More than feelings would be hurt, I can assure you of that.
Bump.
I loved the dad's comment...if you've nothing positive to say, zip it!
Thanks for the ping. You know I'm here for our soldiers!

Sorry if this has already been posted here. I looked and didn't see it..But it was sort of a lazy look!
Thank you for the address..I believe I heard his dad say that his son would be home on R&R next month, so he'd be able to read them all then!

Thanks for posting that.
I don't have enough time to read through all my pings the last fews days, so forgive me if this has already been answered, but:
Has the teacher been fired yet? Have the students written apologies, or explanations for their vitriol?
I don't much care what the principal or teacher have to say for themselves. I'd like to know that they've explained to the students how wrong the initial brainwashing was.
Thank you DBR.
She mentioned in passing that the teacher used the New York Times as a source for his students information on current events.
She also said that the letters were assigned to be written to a hypothetical soldier. It was several days later that the teacher asked the kids if they wanted to send those letters to a soldier.
This teacher used those kids.
I tried to call Sean yesterday... I work In Park Slope and used to live here, too. It's 75 Square blocks of Liberal Utopia surrounded by reality. I call it the People's Republic of Park Slope.
I get dirty looks for a support thr troops ribbon, curses for a W-'04 sticker, and I don't even want to describe the reactions I got for the Swiftvets decal last year... The school itself is on 5th Ave & 2nd Street, in the Belly of the beast! If anyone wants to do a live Freep, Let me know.

In response to the NEGATIVE letters sent from school children AT YOUR SCHOOL, to service men and women, FROM OUR COUNTRY.This is perhaps one of the most disgusting "projects" I have ever heard of.
Keep in mind how protective one would be of 6th graders RECEIVING hateful letters like this, and let's remember that the "men" and "women" in the military who are reading these derogatory pieces of trash were in 6th grade themselves only a few years ago.How hateful it is to pretend to "communicate" with someone thousands of miles away from home, while really just promoting an agenda of discrimination.
Yes, discrimination:
discrimination
n 1: unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice
(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=discrimination)
Would you be so supportive of the student's "right to free speech" if they were writing to any other anonymous group and "expressing themselves" in such a hurtful and hateful way.
I cannot only hope that for some 18 year old service man or woman, one of these vile letters was not the last thing they read before doing their DUTY and perhaps dying in the process.
Your complete disregard for the need to condemn this "project" is disgraceful.
You are supposed to be a leader of children and a leader of staff.Do your job.
