Letters Jeannine
Graf Has Courage Looking
for a scapegoat, are we?
Graf
Fired for Reporting Important Story Under
the present rules no one can say a prayer in school without offending
some interest group. We can, however, allow employees of the state education
department to teach practices of the most perverted lifestyle to our
children, against the wishes of their parents, and we are all but required
to accept this as normal. Instead
of Graf losing her job, she should get a medal and all the government
employees who allow this abomination to happen should be fired, including
the Governor. Graf
should be paid at her present salary by the station that fired her until
she repositions herself in a new job of equal stature. She has performed
a valuable service to the community in general. What
happened to so-called “free speech”? These interest groups seem to have
the absolute power of a fascist government. Very sad story.
Jeannine
Graf is a Heroine The
judge who ruled to silence the evidence must have been under very threatening
circumstances to make a decision that would prevent the information
from reaching parents. The newspapers, with the exception of the Herald,
must have been under the same kind of threat. Perhaps,
someday the people who were “calling the shots,” so to speak, during
those hours of decision-making will be revealed and their actions brought
to light. There had to be phone calls and e-mail messages flying between
the power brokers to pull off the threats that led to the judge’s decision.
Someday it will all be revealed and the students and parents of Massachusetts
will see clearly how the DOE was caught up in that massive web of deception. At
that time, Brian Camenker and the parents who publicized the destructive
and dangerous use of taxpayer money used to deceive our children will
be recognized as true heroes. And Jeannine Graf will be right there
beside them! Free
Speech is Okay – Sometimes Just
because they think they are right doesn’t mean it is so. I hope that
Jeannine Graf comes out ahead of all this and wins out in the end. Graf
Fired for Reporting Real News First,
Americans must wake up and get their children out of “public” indoctrination
camps! Second, write letters and call all the culprits involved. Thirdly,
stop supporting controlled mass media. Cancel your subscriptions and
turn off their mind-molding television garbage. Contact
their paid sponsors stating your opinion. I am doing all of the above
in support of Jeannine Graf. Thank you, Massachusetts News, for having
the guts to do what is right! Boston
Globe Covers Up Issues The
Globe prints only what they want you to hear and not what should be
heard. The Globe prints what it calls
“news worthy events” when in reality, it covers up the issues
that are real. The Boston Globe is the most underhanded piece of trash
ever printed in American history.
Avid
Listener Leaving WTKK Dear
Mr. Smyth and Mr. Kelly: To
protest her expulsion from WTKK Boston, I am enclosing two magnets that
I have been keeping at work and at home along with an extra window decal
that I had for my car. I have removed the decals from both my vehicles
and the magnet as soon as I found out that Jeannine Graf was removed
from WTKK’s programming. Jeannine Graf, in addition to exercising WTKK’s
right to the First Amendment to the Constitution, did a public service
by exposing that our tax dollars are paying for homosexual activities
such as fisting, in the Massachusetts Government Schools. I
will inform you that both the magnets and the decals were a source of
creating many discussions about your station. Just as the special interests
are trying to abolish the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution,
you managers are surrendering your First Amendment rights to the special
interest groups with the removal of Jeannine Graf. I do not know if
this special interest group challenged your advertisers, but a special
interest group did just that with Citibank, by trying to attack legal
business who sold guns. Citibank made a decision not to service any
legal gun businesses. However, after they received protests from a proportion
of the millions of people who own guns they decided to cancel their
recent business decision. Most
of us just work and try to enjoy day-to-day life; but, eventually, we
have to stand up against the poison that is distorting this country.
I hope you can reconsider your decision. And, by the way, the protesters
who want to quiet Jeannine Graf probably don’t consume the products
that WTKK advertises. Graf

Graf
‘Spilled Latte on Their Tutus’ She
is just another pothole on the highway of socialist-homo bliss. They
got ticked at her for spilling their Starbucks latte on their tutus.
Don’t they know that no matter what you do, potholes don’t go away?
They just get bigger and deeper. Keep
your powder dry folks. There are clouds on the horizon and pink they
are not!
Angered,
But Not Surprised I
will be gravely disappointed if Severin doesn’t raise a stink over this
one. If they can let a
host like Jeannine go for her political incorrectness, then the thought
police are probably on their way to his slot already.
Those
Responsible for Fistgate All
those involved in setting up this program that children were required
to attend should be immediately fired and not be able to hold any job
dealing with children ever again. They have removed the innocence from
these children every bit as much if they had raped them or sexually
abused them. They have taken them and sexually abused their minds, if
you will. I used to try to be tolerant but have come across more and
more of this type of “in your face” trash. All my tolerance is gone
and I will spread the word contrary to homosexuality.
Promoters
of Fistgate Should be Fired
Liberalism
Reveals its True Colors
Graf
Firing is Reprehensible As
much as it pains me not to listen to it (I personally liked Jay Severin
and Jeannine Graf), I will not listen to the station at all. I have
also asked them to remove me from their mailing list and informed them
that even though I am only one person, I will not support anyone that
advertises with them. I
am livid over this. It is far beyond my business to decide what two
consenting adults should do in the privacy of their own homes, but it
is wrong for our tax dollars to go towards teaching that this lifestyle
is healthy. The homosexual lifestyle is one of depression, filth, violence
and disease. We should not be brainwashing our children into thinking
that it is good. Jeannine was right to expose this vulgarity and she
had the free speech to do so. The
school system covers up their agenda by labeling classes on homosexuality
“multi-cultural.” They don’t want people to know what went on. They
know they’re wrong and they know that if the liberal media would tell
the truth for once, Massachusetts citizens would be absolutely outraged.
Result
of Outlawing School Prayer Keep
up the good work!
Don’t
Support the Globe People
who continue to subscribe to the Globe and/or support advertisers of
the Globe or 96.9 promote the immoral agendas of those organizations.
They will wonder what happened when their children don’t share their
values or respect those aspects of society that make it worth living
in.
Speech
is No Longer Free Right
now, the servant using the color of law has become the master due to
their intimidation by a plethora of unconstitutional statutes. In
my opinion, the best way to attack the FM radio station is for people
to write to their sponsors and tell them they will no longer buy their
products or services because of the station’s suppression of the truth.
My
very best to Jeannine in these troubled times.
Graf
Should be Given Medal Kevin
Jennings, the head of GLSEN, has spread this filth with taxpayer dollars.
He’s teaching the teachers at workshops how to teach the kids this garbage,
a life style that will probably kill them. They are called Diversity
Workshops, and he uses religion to add legitimacy to his program. Most
of the teachers don’t know of this until they are forced to go to one
of his workshops. Two
parents are being sued for recording what the teachers are teaching
the children. The next attack is planned on Alex Jones, a Southern Baptist
who interviewed Ms. Smith (the teacher who is exposing this) as Ms.
Graf did on 96.9-Talk. It has already begun in Texas too. But the Baptist
Temple has no First Amendment rights. Looks like a mind control game.
Parents
with children in public schools need to wake up and know what their
kids are learning. No wonder parents want to home-school or send their
children to religious and private schools. Nowadays, good things like
religion are bad, while the bad things are good. Sounds like Sodom and
Gomorrah; Satan is alive and well.

e-zine you got here, the MassNews. And here I thought the People’s Republic

Wants
More Coverage of I
would prefer less coverage of the homosexual agenda. This latest copy
I just received seems to have page after page about gay people and related
issues, such as that old “Fistgate” story. Keep
up your attack on the one-party hacks in the state legislature. They’ve
made this state such a ridiculous place to live with their self-righteousness,
excessive regulations and wasteful spending. Editor’s
Comment: Please don’t believe that Fistgate is old. It’s with the children
in our schools every day of the week. We had only one brief glimpse
of it. I’m sure you will agree that spending $1.5 million/year to spread
the homosexual agenda is an excellent example of wasteful spending. We agree there’s a lot more we need to cover. Please be patient and tell your friends so we can hire more staff. Meanwhile, as parents and grandparents, we believe that what they are teaching our children is at the top of the list.
Liberals
Have Failed America We
now have a whole generation of young Americans who have been conditioned
to argue the principles of a free society. The capture of the American
precepts by indoctrination supported by public monies is serious stuff! It’s
one thing to be in a state of confusion; it’s another thing to join
with it! -

Feminists Feminist
Values Spread to Canada
TV,
Not Feminists, Responsible for Disintegration of Family Editor’s
Comment: When we talk about “feminists,” we are talking about the
strident, activist members of NOW. When we report they are against marriage,
we are referring to what they told reporters in articles about NOW that
were published in the New York Times and other sources in the 1970s.
They made it clear that women would not be emancipated until marriage
as an institution was destroyed. Even the conservative Betty Friedan
said she thought that might be necessary. We are merely assuming that
they are telling the truth when they say that is their goal. This is
all reported in our archives which are free on the Internet to anyone.

About DSS Foster
Parent Provides Excellent Care I
am a mentor and my referrals come from DSS to DARE Family Services.
I know a great many people (96% are women) who provide an excellent
level of care to the children in their care. And while I agree that
DSS definitely has their share of problems, and is in need of improvement,
your article throws a “blanket of suspicion” on all foster care providers.
I
attended classes to become a mentor. I continually attend meetings and
seminars and I have an in-home visit twice a month. Once a year I have
a review. Twice a year I must attend a foster care review for each child
placed in my home. I attend all court proceedings, take an active role
in my child’s therapy, am involved with teachers and counselors at school
and attend all school meetings and conferences. I take my child to all
scheduled doctor/dentist appointments, and I provide her excellent care.
Perhaps
foster care is “a system in shambles,” but some of us are doing an exemplary
job and should be recognized for doing so. No matter what is said or
written about DSS, I will continue to provide excellent care. If more
people became involved and had a desire to take these kids into their
homes it would probably be easier to weed out the homes that are causing
problems. There are so many needy children and not enough homes to place
them in. Unfortunately
there are people contracted with DSS to provide foster care who “do
it for the money.” Well, I’m not in it for the money. I do this because
I can. Financially, I am able to care for another child. (I have three
daughters of my own. One is adopted and one is in college.) I have the
room in my home to comfortably accommodate one more child. I refuse
to have more than one child at a time, because I want to be able to
focus on the child in my care. My foster child is in long-term permanent
care, which means she is in DSS custody until her 18th birthday. She
is 13 years old. She has been in my home for one year. She will probably
be with me for the full five years. Unfortunately,
in the world of foster care, only the horror stories get in the news.
It would be nice to see something positive in print.
Editor’s
Comment: You are absolutely right. We must do a story about some
of the good foster parents. We know they’re there. As we wrote in our
story, the problem is that sometimes the good ones are the most frustrated
and are afraid to talk.
DSS
Harasses Yet Another Family Actually,
the true reason I am writing to you is concerning your articles on the
Department of Social Services. I’m not sure if people believe the horror
stories about DSS unless they have been involved with the agency in
some way. My story is not as horrifying as some of those I have read
in your paper, but, nonetheless, it was a humiliating and infuriating
experience. My
sixteen-year-old daughter and I had not been seeing eye to eye when
she told the guidance counselor at school that I was mean to her and
her brothers. She said that I yelled at them constantly and called them
names. The counselor immediately called the local DSS office and filed
a report against me. I guess it would have made too much sense to consult
with me first or at least schedule a meeting for the three of us. My
daughter admitted to me that evening what had happened and said she
wanted to go to the counselor the next day and tell her to forget the
whole conversation. She did that, but she was told that the report had
already been filed. I am sure the counselor thought she was recanting
her story out of fear! About
a week later, I was contacted by DSS at work. Anyway, I had to take
time off from work to meet with the social worker regarding the report
filed against me. She met with me and I gave her an explanation of the
circumstances involved. I told her that I am not perfect, that I do
raise my voice from time to time but what parent doesn’t? I am a single
mother, working full time and attempting to raise three children. I
told her that I was upset that my daughter was smoking cigarettes, but
she had nothing negative to say about that issue. She
insisted that she had to meet with the children alone on yet another
occasion. She said that I did not have to come home for her to meet
with them. I told her that my children are under strict rules about
letting anyone into the house when I am not home and that I could not
possibly allow it. Therefore, I had to take more time off from work
to be home for the second meeting. The
social worker came and spoke with my three children individually. After
she left, I lightly questioned my son about what she had asked him.
He responded by telling me that the social worker told him he did not
have to speak to me about that issue! In other words, she told a child
to be secretive with his parent. After
approximately three months of interference from these people in our
lives, I was finally told they were closing the case because there was
no need for them to be involved. At the end of the ordeal, I expressed
to the social worker that it was a shame they had to spend so much time
and effort on my case when there are children who really need their
help. It
seems the DSS is an agency out-of-control, one that seems to almost
enjoy ruining the lives of innocent people. It seems that they will
twist words, fabricate lies or anything else that they need to do in
order to appear to be the “champion for children.” In fact, they are
defeating the very children they believe they are saving. It seems that
there is something inherently wrong with a society that will allow obscenity,
violence, homosexuality and worse, but will not allow parents to raise
a child according to their beliefs of character and morality. Best
wishes in your attempts to raise the quieting voice of morality and
accountability. -

Homosexuality
in Schools Wants
‘Balanced’ Stories on Gays Thanks
for letting me write. Editor’s
Comment: I know that you do not like the comparison but I have friends
who smoke. I do not understand why they smoke, but they do. They are
still my friends but I would fight any effort by them to teach that
practice in the schools. There are many things that I do not understand
about the stand of homosexual activists. For example, everyone understands
why we do not have young men in charge of Girl Scout troops. It’s not
that we don’t trust them. It’s just that they would be tempted and why
take the chance? It’s exactly the same with homosexual leaders of the
Boy Scouts. It’s not a matter of hate, just common sense.
Who’s
Perverted? Reform
apparently does not know how the homosexuals and homosexuality were
rampant in the pre-Hitler Wandervoegel (activities which the British
Boy Scouts prohibited) and led many German youngsters into the homosexuality-riddled
Hitler Youth and Nazi party. It also ignores how the Hebrews were the
first group in history to ban homosexuality (along with adultery, incest
and bestiality) when they defined marriage as the only sacred sexual
behavior. Doesn’t Reform know that those forgetting the lessons of the
past are doomed to repeat them? I
have been a member of Temple Sinai, Roslyn, NY (Reform) for over 40
years. Teenager
Fears Peers May Be Appointment
for Cellucci Could I
believe President-elect Bush is a decent man. Do you think it is possible
that he knows nothing about what has been allowed to happen to the Massachusetts
public school system under Cellucci’s watch? I sense that if he did
know, he would think twice. When I met Bush last March, I told him that
school choice and the quality of kids’ educations are extremely important.
He emphatically assured me that it was important to him as Governor
and it would continue to be as President. I plan to write President-elect
Bush myself to inform him about Fistgate. (In fact, I was looking on
your website for transcripts or tapes of Fistgate to include in my letter
– Have you removed them?) Would Mass News be interested in heading an
effort to get other subscribers to contact Bush and letting him know
of our dissatisfaction with Cellucci’s hands-off approach? With the
help of Mass News, we could flood the president-elect’s office with
our opinion and possibly save the country’s schools from further demise. -

Other
Interesting Items Another
Victim of Massachusetts Courts Speaks Out My
tapes were erased in Suffolk Probate. As soon as the case was announced,
tapes went blank. Somehow, exhibits were removed from the file, exhibits
added that were never submitted in evidence and the file impounded spontaneously
without notice. My
case involved $3.5 million in rental property that was grossing nearly
$500,000 per year. The court violated rule 66 of Mass Rules of Domestic
Proceedings and appointed a “receiver” to take charge of the previously
stable real estate empire, without bond, and stood in his defense while
he collected several hundreds of thousands of dollars in rental income
over the next year without paying any of the mortgages or related expenses.
As a result, most of the properties were foreclosed.
Bush
Will Help Jews As
former Secretary of State James Baker is reputed to have said, “[Expletive]
the Jews. They never vote for us anyway.” Well,
he was right, wasn’t he? The Jewish community, much like the black community,
has been slavishly devoted to the Democrat party and tends to treat
Jewish Republicans, who are only some 12% of the Jewish community, with
condescension and disdain as though they were deviates from the revealed
“truth.” There is an implicit but unstated understanding that to be
Jewish is to be a Democrat, and that the values of Judaism are coterminous
with the platform of the Democrat Party. So
why should Bush pay any attention to what the Jews want? Because he
is a mensch whose entire governmental history has been one of building
coalitions with the opposition based on common values and goals, as
enunciated in the concept of compassionate conservatism. Because he
will be President of the entire country, not just the half that voted
for him. Because he realizes that only half voted for him. Because he
cares for Israel and can be expected not to pressure it to achieve a
phony peace with Arafat. Because he is a man of sincere religious faith
who cares about people and has promoted policies which improve people’s
lives. There
is no chance that Bush will ignore the Jewish community.
But
there needs to be a self-examination by that community of its own values
and goals. It must question why liberal Democrats dominate the boards
of its federations and myriad action organizations, and it must seek
a broader ideological diversity. It must rethink the cozy but wrongheaded
assumption that Judaism and Jewish values are subsumes in the Democrat
party or liberal doctrines. It must be more tolerant and open-minded
toward its own ideological minority and be prepared to reexamine long-held
liberal positions. It must stop its reflexive support or opposition
for anything supported or opposed by the teacher unions. It must realize
that President Bush has his own values and goals, which are not those
of progressive Democrats. The Jewish community should go some distance
in accommodation. If
the next four years are spent by the Jews in bitterly fighting his administration
over those values and goals, the nation and the Jewish community will
be the victims.
Unitarians
Not Atheists; Believe in ‘Oneness of God’ It
sounds like Unitarians believe in God to me (or is Compton’s Encyclopedia
considered a left-wing, liberal document?).
If
you are going to publish a paper, then at least get the facts straight,
especially when you spend so many column-inches trashing other newspapers
in the Commonwealth. I
don’t agree with anything you print, but I support your right to say
it. Just be journalistically responsible. Otherwise, no one will take
you seriously. Editor’s
Comment: This reader tells us what Unitarians believed back in the
19th century. They do not believe that today. It’s amazing that people
now do not understand these basic issues. Needless to say, this woman
must have a clue that we are telling the truth because she would not
allow us to use her name.
Founders
Safeguarded State Sovereignty Just
the opposite. The
states that preexisted the federal government actually created the federal
government. In the process, the states jealously guarded their sovereign
rights. In the recent election, the Democratic candidate won only 20
states while his opponent won 30. Still, that should not be the test
for winning the election. According to the Constitution, neither a majority
of the popular vote nor a plurality of states determines the victor.
The founding fathers worked both the people and the states into the
formula. Abandoning
the Electoral College would be a grave mistake. Let us be thankful that
amending the Constitution requires approval by two-thirds of both Houses
of Congress and three-quarters of state legislatures. One
comment concerning the article about the Wellesley school card for students
and Planned “Barrenhood.” That organization is still non-profit. Expose
them please.
Does
U.S. Value Sports Over Freedom? Recently,
the Boston Red Sox baseball team placed a man on their payroll. This
man will work about five or six hundred hours a year. This man’s job
consists of hitting a leather bound, rubber ball with a wooden or metal
bat. He will also be required to run around an open field while another
person tries to catch the ball, and he will sometimes have to try to
catch balls other batters hit as well. This is all the man is responsible
for. This man will do this for eight years and be paid $160 million.
Or, about $20 million per year. Should
the president of the United States request a salary of $20 million per
year, he would be drawn and quartered by the American voter. Am
I the only one to see a flaw in the American System?
