Editor,
In response to Mr. Grocott’s Sept. 22 column on the “We Believe” signs, first I would like to thank him. After reading his dismissive, rude piece that ridicules and trivializes many peoples beliefs, I immediately ordered four of those signs from Signsofjustice.com for me and my three kids.
Those signs represent the hope that our future is filled with tolerance and acceptance of other people and their views, something Mr. Grocott clearly does not get. I am hoping his neighbors feel the same as I and fill his community with “We Believe” signs.
Perhaps some of those same sentiments of love, humanity and justice for all might finally make a point to Mr. Grocott, someone who repeatedly refers to his God in his column.

Hello, Leni
Thanks for your thoughts re: the "We Believe" signs.
I disagree the signs promote tolerance and acceptance.
Yes, Matt did criticize the "We Believe" signs. I agree with him on some of his points, but I'll now speak for myself. Specifically...
Black Lives Matter: racial equity message... yes; movement... no. I disagree with the movement's Marxist underpinnings, calls for defunding police, and killing police officers (loudly articulated by the movement's most vocal adherents). Interestingly, dismantling the American family has been deleted from the movement's list of core beliefs.
Women's rights are human rights: a not too thinly veiled affirmation of abortion. It's a woman's choice until that other "human" is viable outside the womb. What about the unborn human's rights?
No human is illegal: support for open borders pure and simple.
Science is real: until it isn't. Let's manage power production to reduce greenhouse emissions... OK... unless it's nuclear power (which produces zero greenhouse emissions).
Love is love: Matt responded to this item by saying, "God is love." He's correct. Love is not rioting in the streets.
Martln Luther King is always an inspiration.
Here's a question... what are the origins of the sign? It started showing up in public school classrooms at least two and a half years ago. It is a statement of the California Teachers Association's core beliefs. Those precepts are printed above the image of a schoolhouse with CTA's logo prominently displayed. Now, I'm OK if every teacher in the state agrees with those beliefs, however, it is pure leftist indoctrination to post those signs inside classrooms for the purpose influencing impressionable minds. Do you think there are any other points of view or beliefs expressed in this way? No.
The signs will promote the production of a generation of young people who will be nudged away from learning how to think and will be expected to act based on the way they're supposed to feel. The way they were taught to feel by posters promoting a leftist agenda.
Why isn’t the writer setting an example and selling their assets and donating their money to BLM? Instead, their only contribution to the cause is ordering four signs? Way to go! The next time the idiot BLM goons are in town, I’ll send them to the writer’s house for tea and sympathy.
