I have two kids in the same classes and grade at school (elementary level - 5th grade). In one class, the kids had a mock vote for president, either McCain or Obama.

In another class, they are writing a letter to either Obama or McCain (the students' choice).

So my beef with this is that the school hasn't bothered to mention that there are more than 2 people running for President. and the children are being brainwashed to believe that there are only two political parties.

I think I'm going to send in a letter of my own, addressed to the two teachers involved, explaining that there are 4 people on the PA ballot running for POTUS (with at least 6 major candidates running nationwide), and they are doing these children a disservice by ignoring ALL the possibilities.

GGRRR.

Any other suggestions on what I might be able to do about this?

My kids think they'll get in trouble if they wrote a letter to Obama asking him to withdraw from the race on the grounds that he is NOT a proven natural-born citizen, or if they write to McCain asking him to withdraw from the race based on him giving our country away to illegal aliens.

(Yes, my kids know quite a bit about the current political crisis - they are afraid of what the teachers will do if they submit the assignments the way they want to.)
