Pubdate: Mon, 08 Nov 1999 Source: Orange County Register (CA) Copyright: 1999 The Orange County Register Contact: http://www.ocregister.com/ Author: Rheta Campbell, Donna Griffith DIFFERENCE OF OPINION To the editor: To the parent who removed her child from Red Ribbon Week ["Seeing red over Red Ribbon Week,"Letters,Nov.4] I would like to say, 'how dare you take your child's education into your own hands? Don't you know that the teachers' union, the school board,the police department,the social workers and the Democratic Party know what is best for your child,not you? I want to also warn you that you are very close to the next step, educating your child at home, which I am doing for the third year now.' Good luck and God bless Martha Elliot. RHETA CAMPBELL Cypress ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To the editor: Where dose this woman get off talking that way about a great program that our schools and local police departments organize for our local youths? Learning the dangers of drugs should be the number one priority of every parent in this country. DONNA GRIFFITH Huntington Beach - --- MAP posted-by: manemez j lovitto
