DEAR EDITOR:
Wow. What is up with “homeschooling mother” Cynthia Walker? I thought I was reading something from Pages From The Past on the McCarthy days.
I sure hope Ms. Walker will never be in charge of the “Good American Litmus Test.”
Ms. Walker reports on events she (saw? heard about?) in a Gilroy High School English class (hey wait a minute. She’s the “Homeschooling Mom,” did she have hired SPIES there?) Of course, without names or dates it was really just an inflammatory rumor, wasn’t it?
But imagine the implications of her article: “Party Approved” history courses, loyalty oaths, criminalized public gatherings, spies in our classrooms, and homeschooling lessons which doesn’t seem to include any course work on THE CONSTITUTION and the BILL OF RIGHTS.
Cynthia has found the enemy: Our public schools and universities. She says they teach hatred of America. It is funny though, because I took many of those same courses, and I thought they were teaching us to question the motives of individuals who claim to represent us all. Weird.
Apparently, when one questions George W. Bush, one is “hating America” but NOT when one questions Bill Clinton. Cool.
She identifies the agenda of these evil-doers and declares: All lies. Powerful evidence, don’t you think?
Did you know that the presence of Condoleeza Rice in a government institution PROVES that racism doesn’t exist? How funny.
But the funniest part was the end when she says, “The Culture War is cannibalizing our country. And I don’t have any glib answers.” Really? It looked to me as though she had HUNDREDS of glib answers. Indeed, all she HAS is glib answers: If we just all suck up to homeschooling and super-patriot philosophies everything will be just dandy just like it is in HER house. With these skills we will be able to completely ignore the killing of innocent unarmed civilians as all Good Americans should.
