zens and voters. They now realize,
usually on the state and national
front, that the flood of public opin-
ion can determine the next elec-
tion. Once the sleeping, apathetic
American public is waked, leaders
better pay attention or say good-
bye.”
With the upcoming election this
fall, we are on the forefront of great
challenge in our Plymouth
Township community as our citi-
zens are waking and becoming
aware of the inter workings and
direct effect of bad decisions on
our safety and lifestyle. For too
long we've taken for granted that
our leaders would listen, serve our
best interests andprotect us.
Now our neighbors and friends
are taking a courageous stand for
justice and will ask for encourage-
ment and support this fall as they
campaign to challenge the injus-
tice dished out by our small town's
contemptuously intolerant politi-
cians.
We are not alone.
DonHoward,
PlymouthTownship
and part of that education is the
recognition of diversity. It is your
job to prepare these little narrow
minds to become open adult
minds filled with the knowledge of
other cultures and beliefs and
respect for the history and tradi-
tions of others. It is your job to pro-
mote a world view that includes
recognition of other cultures and
their contributions to mankind. It
is your job to teach tolerance and
understanding.
No wonder these kids don't
have a chance to compete with
Asian or Scandinavian students on
educational tests.
This “political correctness” is
nomore than fertilizer for the ram-
pant growth of stupidity, insensitiv-
ity and bigotry and is seriously
thwarting the educational oppor-
tunities offered to our children.
And like my grandpa always
said, the best fertilizer in theworld
is bovine residue.
