DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

To the editor:

To the parent who removed her child from Red Ribbon Week ["Seeing red
over Red Ribbon Week,"Letters,Nov.4] I would like to say, 'how dare you
take your child's education into your own hands? Don't you know that
the teachers' union, the school board,the police department,the social
workers and the Democratic Party know what is best for your child,not
you? I want to also warn you that you are very close to the next
step, educating your child at home, which I am doing for the third year
now.'

Good luck and God bless Martha Elliot.

Where dose this woman get off talking that way about a great program that
our schools and local police departments organize for our local youths?
Learning the dangers of drugs should be the number one priority of every
parent in this country.
