Robert:

 

   Congratulations on the smear.  It is always fun to rebut such nonsense.  I would be glad to write a response but it is probably best handled locally.  I would make sure that you use mentione the website.  You may also mention that the paper has been running ou news releases for quite some time and as far as our ideas, thousands of people in the region sem to agree with us because they happily sign our petitions to stop illegal immigration, repela NAFTA etc.  I would say that we don't advocate abolishing public schools.  Just federal control of them and that we do indeed, support the gowing home school movement that is proof that many thousands of Americans agree with us on our poistion on education.  Indeed, a good percentage of public school teachers send their children to private schools.

If you would be interested in publishing a response, the link to do so is here, do keep it "positive" http://www.delgazette.com/contact.asp
