Letter to the editor

Last night I had the opportunity to attend Sauk Prairie Middle School’s wonderful variety show. Even more impressively, I understand that the program was put together on short notice. This community should be proud of its schools, teachers, and students. At a time when school boards and school staff are being pressured to change teaching methods, last night was clear evidence that the Sauk Prairie School District knows what it is doing and is preparing its students to enter the world we live in, not one being fabricated by some narrow-minded parents. The message last night was to include everyone. Parents shouldn’t be afraid of what is being taught in school if they are doing their jobs at home. Students have the right to hear everything, they will make the right decisions that best suit their lives. As a parent of six adult children, education was very important to me, and my children all got good ones in public schools and universities across this country. Let the public schools do their job, the country will be much better for it.   Richard Lahti Prairie du Sac
