Date: Sun, 18 Feb 1996 From: <name withheld - was personal note> To: "Richard K. Moore" <•••@••.•••> Subject: Re: cj#469> an Alliance Statement of Purpose (proposed) I have been lurking for months and thoroughly enjoy this journal. Furthermore, it has enlightened me more than any else I have ever read or been taught in graduate school. I am currently working on my second masters. This one is Public Administration and Policy so the views I read on CJ have helped me sort out all the rhetoric in my coursework and solidify my own beliefs and values. I am working on an article about "Big Brother invading our public classrooms and daycare facilities." In a nutshell, the laws are taking away parental rights to raise and teach our children as we choose. Between mandatory reporter laws, V-chip, and the TCA, our elected officials are forcing our teachers and caregivers to be watchdogs and imposing censorship on the masses. I truly believe this move to control knowledge is just another way to put "the masses" where the power players want them. We as a society are (have) losing our rights and I am VERY worried. I hope to send the article to you sometime in the next week or two and see if you believe it would be appropriate for CJ. I agree with many of the articles in CJ where we are moving toward a facist state and the taking away of our basic constitutional rights reeks of Nazi Germany. Very scary. ~--<snip>--~ Thank you and I appreciate your time and effort with CJ. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, | Faith is the bird that sings | Parent, Partner, Librarian, Student | to the dawn while it is | Friend ....
