Middle School Aiding and Abetting Enemies


It's not a surprise that students are being taught liberalism and anti-war propaganda at a young age. It is quite surprising, however, that they are being taught and encouraged to aid and abet the enemy in a time of war. That's right - students are encouraged to aid and abet the enemy during a time of war by attempting to demoralize our soldiers around the world. (I had to write it twice to make sure you read it correctly.)


David Andreatta of the New York Post wrote in an article on Monday about Pfc. Rob Jacobs. Jacobs is a soldier based about 10 miles from the North Korean border. Being a native of New Jersey, he was excited to receive several letters from sixth-grade students at JHS 51 in Park Slope, near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. He was quite startled and disappointed (to say the least) when he started reading the letters. The students' teacher and chief propagandist, Alex Kunhardt, encouraged his students to write letters filled with anti-war, anti-Bush, left-wing rhetoric.

Excerpts from the letters 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."

I wonder what would have happened if a student wanted to send a prayer to Pfc. Jacobs - my guess is he would have been reprimanded for not respecting the rights of aetheists..

Writing letters to our soldiers in an attempt to demoralize them is a new low of the American left. With teachers like this, who needs teachers?
