All 7th graders REQUIRED to write letter to Bush! [View All]

Yesterday, my son came home and announced that the teachers made everyone in the entire 7th gr class of the Colonial Middle School in Montco. PA (~700 kids) write a letter to *co.

They would not tell the kids why they were to do this.

My son said that after about 30 seconds the kids all began to say "but, why do we have to...we don't even like him." As my son reports, they were told to "kiss up" to him and not write anything negative. One little girl (bless her heart) began railing about the DSM and the "illegal" war!! You go kid!

My son wrote about wanting to see more hybrid cars on the market and "no more war for oil".

This is considered to be a fairly 'red' district, too.
