After lunch we will take a field-trip the WW2 D-Day Museum in New Orleans to recognize the sacrifices of America's fallen heroes and celebrate the last time Americans fought against fascism.
Our son, __________ will be prepared to make up any classwork he has missed. We expect he will be given an opportunity to make up any tests as well.
If you wish to discuss our position on this issue please don't hesitate to call. If you would like to know why we are resisting Obama, his Czars, and the Progressive movement , the following resources will provide a starting point.

Thank you in advance for understanding the difficult position the President has put us in by attempting to interject himself into our children's lives in the classroom setting. I hope that MJH will show tolerance of our capitalist, conservative views by allowing us to "opt out" of this, and future addresses.
Respectfully yours,
Kevin Elliott
