My post entitled "Chicken Little" (6/4) was published in today's paper. My criticism of teachers who frighten children about the environment, and the parents who allow the newspaper to print their fabricated letters was accompanied by a letter from Poni Mosier. Poni says, in part, "I realize how brainwashed our children are becoming. Each student virtually parroted the same mantra. The amount of guilt being imposed on them is shameful. . . . Don't put words in their mouths. . . .

"They should not be expected to bear the burden of guilt and regret, that they are exploited with every day in the classroom. THEY are the resource that needs to be protected. Let's teach them they are a part of a beautiful world. . . and their role is to be children and enjoy it."

I thank you, Poni, and so do the children.
