Boston Globe - very interesting reader comments

Click on the link to view the reader comments that were posted in response to the Boston Globe article of November 30, 2008. The comments from those who identify themselves as being from Woodbury, Vermont are very supportive. Those from Woodbury School Board Chair Retta Dunlap and Woodbury resident Stephanie Fraser, who both oppose returning the Pledge to the classroom, in my opinion, continue to defend the indefensible.

Dunlap is also the Director of an organization called Vermonters for Better Education. The organization believes in the privatization of the public school system. I have begun to wonder if Dunlap is keeping this controversy alive in order to promote the closing of Woodbury Elementary School. In the end, that would be consistent with the beliefs of the group that she heads. If that were to happen, it is my opinion that she would win an even greater victory for her organization than just keeping the Pledge out of the classroom.
