Readers sound off on disco, the Unabomber, and Santa Christ
“If there was any deep division in the music scene in 1977, it wasn’t people scratching their heads at less than stellar releases from Kansas, Foreigner, Styx, or Steely Dan and Neil Young, it was the demise of live music as disco came to prominence. I could make the argument that Kansas, Nugent and other arena acts GAINED fans because people who hated disco REALLY hated disco (myself included).”

“John Jansen’s comments made me think of some of the bad things white people have done. Timothy McVeigh! Terry Nichols! The Unabomber! Not to mention almost all the serial killers in the U.S.! And all those Arab terrorists — they’re Caucasian! I just don’t think we can afford to have white people running this country. They are way too dangerous.”

“I really used to be amazed how these individuals could be so blatant about who they really are, and yet have their assemblies still pour money into their pockets so they can live like movie stars…and then you have those who are of the new faith: CASHIANS and followers of Santa Christ.”

Actually it is the
Actually it is the “Welcoming Schools” curriculum that is restrictive of academic freedom. Students will not be allowed to share a families belief that a relationship should be between a man and a woman only. It only allows the views that are defined by HRC to be seen as acceptable. It also should be noted that when you are dealing with K-5th grades (which are the grades that the curriculum will be used in) there is not as much room for a “breadth of discussion” as there would be with older students. At this young age it is an indoctrination of a specifc agenda. HRC is a political action committee with one goal in mind. Why are we letting PAC’s create curriculum for our kids? Additionally, this curriculum will take away six hours of class time plus teacher training. With the test scores the way they are in MPS this seems like another big waste of time. MPS is good at that though.
