Re: Erin Kelly/Winter Concert Program.
Dear Music Teacher/Choral Director :
My daughter, Erin Kelly, informed me yesterday that she is going to be required to wear a Kwanzaa related garment in addition to celebrating Kwanzaa itself in the course of performing at the Winter Concert on December 14, 2011 at 1900hrs.
I respectfully request that my daughter be removed from any part of the Winter Concert that is not a direct celebration of the Birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Christmas) or The Festival of Lights (Hanukah).
As a Catholic Family Christmas is a Holy and Historical Event for us as is Hanukah for our Jewish Brothers and Sisters being thousands of years old.
To appear seemingly harmless, Kwanzaa deploys many politically correct multiculturalist euphemisms to mask its true intentions. Kwanzaa, created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach, author and scholar-activist is a Marxist, Black Liberation Theology Socio-Political event with a forty-five (45) year history.
If Erin cannot be removed from selected portions of the program that do not celebrate Christmas or Hanukah, please inform me so I may withdraw her from participating in the Winter Concert entirely.
Respectfully,
Greg Kelly
