Thought would be of interest to some.

ISSUE: Remember the high school Conservative Students Club
in California we told you about, whose courageous young
president was under attack by the school's liberal faculty
and administration, as well as student body members? We
recently received information from Adam McManus, host of
"Take A Stand" on KSLR radio in south Texas, about another
similar case: Charity Santa Cruz, an 18-year-old senior at
South San Antonio High School, claims that her economics
and government teacher Tim Duda continually harasses her
for her conservative beliefs and her Christian faith. He
even objects to her reading the Bible -- on her own time!

Plus, despite repeated complaints to Principal Tommy
Garcia, Tim Duda uses obscenity in this PUBLIC classroom
like the f-word, the sh-word and "uses the Lord's name in
vain." In addition, he belittles the Christian faith and
conservative values of students like Charity.

Charity Santa Cruz was recently joined in the KSLR studio
by her church's singles pastor, Roland Gloria. Pastor Gloria
has known Charity since she was 13 and testifies to her
character and credibility.

Hiram Sasser of the Liberty Legal Institute says that if
these charges by Charity are accurate, not only is the
teacher Tim Duda at South San Antonio High School out of
line, but so is the Principal Tommy Garcia for not taking
more effective action.

This principal has only received a couple of hundred e-mails
supporting this brave young lady. Isn't it time he heard
from the REST of America?

ACTION ITEM: Charity has said that while Tim Duda at first
received a verbal warning, the behavior continued unabated.
Thankfully, Duda has now been suspended for 3 days -- WITH
PAY -- during the investigation.

Gee, that'll show him.

The principal Tommy Garcia has, according to Charity,
attempted to pressure her to talk about her concerns with
him (Mr. Garcia), without her attorney on the telephone.
Charity has refused on the advice of her attorney.

Conservatives across America need to stand up against
harassment of students like Charity. Go to our site below
to send a message to Tommy Garcia, the Principal at South San
Antonio High School, and politely request that he instruct
teacher Tim Duda that profanity has no place in the classroom,
nor does religious or political discrimination:

NOTE: Charity has received quite a bit of verbal grief at
school from students and stern looks from teachers. She has
said to friends, "If looks could kill..." All of this has
brought her to tears. Other than her church and her legal
counsel, she doesn't have a whole lot of support. Please feel
free to e-mail Charity and encourage her as she feels very
alone in this fight right now: [e-mail] . And
be sure to forward this e-mail to everyone you know who wants
to take a stand with this brave young schoolgirl. Thank you!
