The letter....Ooooo

Below is the letter I plan on giving to my daughter's principle.

I'm such a Readers Digest kind of gal. Short and sweet. My 

husband helped expound and add some key elements to 

this lovely little dity. 

   I've agonized over this letter because I really don't want 

my daughter learning that this is an okay behavior. On the

 other hand I really don't want to be ugly with her educators. 

Let me know what you think.

Mrs. Miller,                                                                                         January, 27 2009        
 

      

      On Thursday the 15th my Kindergartener brought home a book that greatly

appalled and disturbed me. She also informed me that this book was read to them in the

library. The book I am referencing is, "And Tango Makes Three". This book completely

contradicts the religious and moral values we are trying to instill in her and our other

children. 

      The content of this literature is not appropriate to be taught in school, especially

to children at such a young age. It's fine if other families want to teach their children

these ideas, however this sensitive moral teaching should be done in the appropriate

family setting. Teaching such religiously / morally questionable material as presented in

this book without the consent or knowledge of the responsible guardians at best flirts with

the violation of the rights of separation of church and state. I reserve the right as a parent

to teach my family what I view as best for them, and I expect that right to be respected. 

      I have enclosed a copy of some of our beliefs so that you will understand the

values that my husband and I are trying to teach to our children. Thank you. 

 

Sincerely, 

Amanda Pendley
