A New York City school official, red-faced over Brooklyn sixth-graders who slammed a GI with anti-Iraq-war letters, said Tuesday they are sending the 20-year-old private a letter of apology.
Deputy Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina plans to personally contact Pfc. Rob Jacobs and his family, a spokeswoman told the New York Post.
Teacher Alex Kunhardt had his students write Jacobs as part of a social studies assignment.
He declined to comment on whether he read the rants before passing them along, but said he planned to contact Jacobs soon to explain.
In an accompanying letter to Jacobs, Kunhardt said the students “come from a variety of backgrounds and political beliefs, but unanimously support the bravery and sacrifice of American soldiers around the world.”
“Support” was not the word that came to Jacobs’ mind when he read the letters, the Post noted.
One girl wrote that she believes Jacobs is “being forced to kill innocent people” and challenged him to name an Iraqi terrorist, concluding, “I know I can’t.”
Uplifting letters from children are dear to soldiers, Jacobs said. He looks at a batch he got from a Girl Scout troop from his hometown of Middletown, N.J., whenever he feels lonely.
Jacobs said he would welcome a letter from the Department of Education and the teacher.
“I want to think these letters were coached by the teacher or the parents of these children,” Jacobs told the Post from Camp Casey, South Korea. “It boggles my mind that children could think this stuff.”
The woman's name is Monique Sena, Park Slope, Brooklyn NY. Check out her letter to the editor in Today's New York Post (the Post is online too). It's the same woman, because she says the exact same bs in her letter that she spouted on the radio yesterday.
Well, well, well...that seems to be the same Monique that so desperately didn't want to appear on H&C last night - due to her daughter being so 'upset'.
What a 1st class twit.
BTTT
What a 1st class twit.

LOL! She is a twit devoid of class. : )
I'd bet a month's salary it's her..same talking points. How many leftwing Moniques in Brooklyn are there who say the exact same thing on the radio that they do in a LTTE, and have a vested interest in defending the school, the teacher and the kids?
(And by the way, Monique, if you are happen upon this site, nobody gives a darn how "exclusive" your daughter's school is. You are still a vile excuse of a human being, and so is your daughter's teacher. And by the way, I don't think much of your daughter, either.)
Let's see if we can find her.
Doug,
She wrote to me and said it wasn't her, but that she essentially agrees with the other Monique.
Okay.
bttt

Swordfish, take a few minutes and read this--and then some mail from me...
