U2’s Bono, a fixture in the corridors of political power, is coming soon to a classroom near you.
New Hampshire parents are more than a little peeved that their board chairman says their schools are the right size to be an incubator for what is, in effect Bono’s left-wing politics.
“Reading about this sends my blood pressure through the roof,” one parent wrote in a letter to Canada Free Press (CFP).
The red flag was raised in an article from Seacoast Online: “The state board of education will hear a proposal today (June 10) from representatives of ONE, a national grassroots effort of more than 2 million people--co-founded by U2 lead singer Bono--designed to raise awareness about the issues facing Africa. The plan is to integrate some of the components of the organization into classrooms throughout the state, and potentially, the country.”
