Dear Readers,   After being in PTA for 11yrs and listening to Linda Olson lament about nobody offering these kids after school activities, I decided I would this year.  WMS has but currently, does not service either of my children full time.   I appreciate the progressive spirit I have found in MN.  I thank the Swedish founders of this state for some really humanitarian services not found throughout the US.  I don't mind contributing to these programs with my state tax.  They are REALLY good.   It puzzles me, that the books I am offering to read after school, which have been read 6000, 2006, and ~2000yrs around the globe, should be treated differently than something published during the 1900s or even 2000s.   I believe our progressive educational department in MN should include religon in 4th or 5th grade.  (Perhaps, even before The Fourth Grade Talk, so the kids are aware of the background their ancestors used to make the decisions they face.)  Because a change of that magnitude would take years, I am offering it as an after school activity.  I realize, this subject was left out of curriculum because it was considered a family issue.  But with the weaken state of The Family in the USA, 2006, I think our educators need to consider it.    Please help me in this matter.   Respectfully Submitted, Kathleen Giebel
