Brought to you by the fine folks at Pacific Telesis, the California
Department of Education, the California Technology Project & their
Sub-Committee on Telecommunications & the Chancellor's Office of the
California State University System;

  ...especially to undermine the desperate efforts of the many hard
working people trying to properly guide our children toward avoidance. 
The good, hard earned money you invested in these programs is in danger 
of being sent down the drain. 

Get pissed off!  ...call your assemblyman, state senator, your state 
dept. of education, your congressman, your minister, children's advocacy
organizations, chairs of legislative bodies dealing with education.

This is how YOUR MONEY(!) is being spent by California "education". 
It's an assault by K12Net (SM),(TM) Jack Crawford, Stanley, N.Y. being
perpetrated on you and your children - _DEMANDING_ to come in to your
state without your having any say in the content or security measures
whatsoever. ...the same is true nation-wide. 

If the Canadians and Australians can't understand that we are trying
desperately to encourage _alcohol avoidance_ for our children and act
appropriately to encourage their students to respect that - maybe we need
more _quality_ participation for our children.  ...even the "TagLine" on this
message is set to be a constant drone condoning drunkenness.

Parents!  ...that's a constant drone your kids will be bombarded with for
the entire time they are on K12Net.

UCLA has a system in Southern California dedicated to the concerns of
treatment professionals and counseling professionals - PrevNet is such a
system on a state-wide basis.  _BOTH_ will tell you that the "target" is
not to encourage discussion of "responsible consumption".  TOTAL avoidance,
100% abstinence, has got to be the target to encourage.

It's professionally irresponsible to allow this traffic to be passed to
our children, let alone subjecting them to it fraudulently representing
that education/networking professionals are earning their pay.

COSN, and others, where _are_ you?


Frank Topping, Sacramento


Let's keep 'em safe out there, with or without PacBell and the rest.
