A student in your school, Tim Bueler, has come under verbal assault by faculty members, and threats of physical assault from students, by publishing conservative views in his student group's newsletter that are held by many, if not most, Americans across the nation.

Thank heavens there are more of us loyal, God-fearing, American patriots than there are of you humanistic, hate-my-country-first liberals. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You have brought your school under national scorn and condemnation by practically denying a students and many of his like-minded fellows first amendment rights to free speech. But what's worse, you have also denied them protection for expressing the same.

I cannot begin to express the contempt I feel toward your institution. You have demonstrated rank hypocrisy by denying a constitutional right to someone which you hold in reserve for yourself.

Mr. Bueler didn't speak out against Hispanics. He didn't write an article denouncing foreigners. What he did was bring light to a real problem in California (and the U.S.): ILLEGAL immigration.

Because of his stand for the laws of this nation, he has been called a Nazi and a bigot by teachers. Mark Alton - a TEACHER at your school - even encouraged students to "take a stand against the neoconservative wing-nuts who call themselves Americans." Check me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Mr. Alton has been threatened for his invective against conservatives. What a wonderful country we have where Mr. Alton and Mr. Bueler can speak out about their views without fear of imprisonment or personal harm. Oh, wait, that doesn't apply to Mr. Bueler; he's a "neoconservative wing-nut" who does not deserve to be protected in his person.

It's the responsibility of teachers in a public school to behave objectively within the context of their profession, and to make sure their students have a safe place in which to learn and develop their minds. Please, tell the teachers at your school to stop harassing Tim Bueler for his conservative beliefs, and to protect his right to express those beliefs - including the protection of his physical person. Thank you.
