District thanked for not caving in

I'm a milk producer from North Adams, Mich. I am writing in response to the overreaction of animal activists groups as a result of the teacher, Dave Warwak, who was let go because of his slander of animal agriculture and teaching falsehoods to the impressionable students of Fox River Grove School.

It is unbelievable that a teacher would abuse his power over his students. Children at any age are very impressionable and will believe most anything that someone is passionate about. Mr. Warwak is passionate about his misconception of the nutritional value of animal products.

It's a no-brainer that milk and milk products are good for us. Sound science has been proving that for years.

I want to congratulate and extend my support of a school district who uses a common sense approach in taking care of its students, and I would like to encourage you not to fold under the heavy pressure from the financially powerful animal activists groups.

Thank you in advance for not caving into such nonsense and for standing up for agriculture. My livelihood depends on courageous people like you who use your God-given intelligence to make decisions.
