Homefront Heroes

High School Heroes

My wife listens to the television news. I won't have anything to do with it. However, I did hear a bit about a great story the other day: a group of high school seniors visiting the White House surprised the inhabitant of the mansion by presenting a joint letter condemning torture! Thank God for the young! President Bush was presented with a letter Monday signed by 50 high school seniors in the Presidential Scholars program urging a halt to "violations of the human rights" of terror suspects held by the United States. The White House said Bush had not expected the letter but took a moment to read it and talk with a young woman who handed it to him. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070625/bush-torture/ So, we have a government whose actions are causing the new generation to have long soul searching hours, wondering how this can be America. Interesting, isn't it?
