Even if no one "indoctrinated" the children (a tenuous proposition, I admit) the teacher needs to be disciplined for not reading the letters in advance before they were sent out.



Or question the relevance of such an assignment if this is the only thing these kids can think to say. If these are their genuine opinions, or those held by their parents (which is not to say that sixth graders are ignorant of the world around them...just ill informed and prone to easy assumption), then are they expect to write about rainbows and butterflies just to make some misguided soldier feel better? What kind of message would this send to the kids?

I'm sure the teacher's heart was in the right place, but c'mon. This war has seen severe opposition the world over...didn't he think it was at the very least possible that there would be kids in the class that would express such an opinion?

If karma's a bitch, it will be my bitch!
