Sometimes they make it too easy. Here's the story:

At Tom Tancredo's request, Mike Rosen dedicated his 850 KOA pit bull, err, talk show this morning to attacking a first grade public school teacher in Highlands Ranch; Miss Jill Bell of Arrowwood Elementary School.

Her crime? Her first graders drew pictures of clean water and, as part of a civics exercise, sent them in a bundle to Tom Tancredo's office. Who is, by the way, their United States Representative.

And who happens to support Bush' effort to roll back the Clean Water Act.

There are a million things wrong with this assault on this public school teacher, but here are two:

1. Rosen nine days ago had Guv Bill on, and said 'we have to have legislation that strips Colorado's colleges of their funding if they do not hire more Conservative faculty members'. Ideological quotas.

But G.. forbid that a public school teacher have her kids draw pictures and send them to their elected representative!!!!

Hypocrisy, thy name is......

2. Hey Tancredo -- DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO??? This 'ranks' right up there with his effort to deport the Hispanic honors student last winter (remember that gem??)..

Anyhow, Rosen and Tancredo have tag-teamed to attack this public school teacher, ginning up a public campaign to her superiors. (That'll encourage those kids to take civics responsibly!)

So let's help Jill Bell.

E-mail and phone Jim Christensen, the Superintendant of Public Schools for Douglas County. (Click here or enter jim.christensen@dcsdk12.org in your email, or call him at 303-387-0034) Tell him you're happy that teachers have their kids draw pictures and contact their congressperson. And you're outraged at the Rosen/Tancredo attack on his public schools.

And contact Darlene Dougherty, the Principal of Arrowhead elementary school, (Phone: 303 471 3160, email: click here or enter Darlene.Dougherty@dcsdk12.org) Tell her that you support our public schools and Miss Bell and are outraged that a U.S. Congressperson is using militant talk show hosts as a channel to attack them.

Sheesh. Arrgh. Call. E-mail.
