Dear Mr. Selva (at least I spelled your name right),

The participants didn't think it was private. They criticized me for not providing a link to it. Perhaps you owe Mr. Baker and the committee an apology for not building in safeguards. Your bad. The fact is that I found it innocently while trying to find another group.

It certainly had no indication of privacy when I found it, and perceiving an implication of a threat against my child, I became angry and reacted as any responsible parent or citizen should. BLOW UP A SCHOOL?!! How a person can even lend his name to a defense of anyone suggesting that boggles the mind.

Blog, discussion group, I guess I can't tell the difference. I'm no webmaster. I saw what I saw. Blame Google or yourself that I did see it, but it was out there. I believe the more apt analogy is seeing a flier stapled to a phone pole; nobody sent this to me intentionally or by accident.

As for civility, I am not the one who included BLOW UP THE AMIGOS SCHOOL and take sledgehammers to the statue of our former mayor in the midst of a list of desired political reforms.

Mr. Baker's continued professed ignorance of the outstanding performance of the Amigos School (not program), considering his having run for School Committee, makes me wonder whether he really cares about educating our children or only wants to bash people he thinks are immigrants.

As for further apologies, I think Mr. Baker and his defenders owe the Amigos School a big one.
