February 22, 2005 -- The city Department of Education, red-faced over Brooklyn sixth-graders who slammed a GI with demoralizing anti-Iraq-war letters as part of a school assignment, will send the 20-year-old private a letter of apology today.
Deputy Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, who has a nephew serving in Iraq, plans to personally contact Pfc. Rob Jacobs and his family, said department spokeswoman Michele McManus Higgins.

I think the apology ought to come from the teacher who mailed these letters. Has anyone found out where this guy lives?
And will the pea-brained teacher who inspired this be disciplined, or will political correctness, union regs and tenure prevent this?

And these sixth graders learned this behavior where? (rhetorical question!!)
PE:
Not yet.
What fool would put their kid into a public school? I work with kids every day and they are taught 100%, Grade A anti-Americanism full-time at the public schools.
This person ( I refuse to call him a teacher) should be sacked.
Does this mean that this teacher is still emplyed by the District?
I'm sure they had plenty of help. Absolutely despicable.
your tax dolalrs well spent.
The teacher will now be secretly made principal
An apology would be nice....It would be nicer if the teacher was fired.
Mainly people who've been taxed to the point where they can't afford private school and can't afford to have one parent stay home and homeschool.
Send the teacher to Iraq for a week to interview Iraqi voters and make him tell each one of them he wished to deny them that right.
Or perhaps get a tenured position in a university...
This infuriates me. This same thing is going on in schools all over the country, and believe me, it isn't the parents who are pushing this. It is teachers who are echoing the socialist agenda of the unions and of the United Nations, who insist on indoctrinating our children. The public schools are encouraging kids to become activists. Don't be surprised if Ward Churchill's classes are filled-to-overflowing through the next decade or two.
It's called IN-DOC-TRI-NATION.
A typical hilary constituent, loathing the military.
