Goddamn Communists

They get letters:

IB program opponents have voiced dangerous ideas

If it is true as reported in the Feb. 21 article "Upper St. Clair Kills International Baccalaureate Program" that "Dr. [Daniel] Iracki and other newly elected members of the board expressed opposition to the program on the grounds that it is Marxist, anti-Christian, un-American and too costly," the rhetorical question asked by Thomas Frank in his recent work "What's the Matter With Kansas?" should be re-asked locally.

As a Christian, I find Dr. Iracki's willingness to openly object, in his official capacity, to anti-Christian educational programs intellectually and morally oppressive.

This outright mixing of religious beliefs and government function (albeit this time by grass-roots local elected officials) is a type of terrorism that is more dangerous over the long term than simply blowing yourself up with a vest bomb. He and his faction are attempting to "blow out" the minds of the young.
