To Ms.Stephanie Culhane, What will it teach our children(My Daughter just spent 12 years in the Cranston school system) when you don't stand up for what is right? What will it teach them when you lie down every time a Bully Organization like the ACLU threatens you with financial ruin if you don't do what they want? What will it teach our children when you try and use past mistakes in budgeting as a reason not to stand for what you feel is right? What will it teach them when excuses are made in order to make a problem go away? You were elected to do what is right for our children, without money being the only factor in decisions you make. I never heard about you cutting the Music program, or any other programs for that matter and I was involved in EVERY aspect of my Child's education. I understand the hard decisions the School Committee has to make and I for one do not want my children learning to either do anything "half-way" or to quit after the first hurdle gets put in the way (we strongly feel this way but because the ACLU is making more noise, we should give up). In the overall scope of a child's education, teaching them not to stand up for what they believe is inexcusable. I know you don't want to hear it but the whole money issue can be overcome. We should only teach our children to "Roll over and play dead" when they are being attacked by a Bear. Please don't take my comments as any kind of disrespect for the Members of the Committee, my hat is off to all of you, I just differ in what I feel should be fought for.
