McKinley Elementary projects restore our local stream

To the Editor:

Concerning a recent letter about the Hatboro ordinance (“Hatboro ordinance creates unnecessary legal liability,” June 3): Does the writer really believe the “Democrats booed God at their national convention?” Really? He must have been watching a Fox cartoon. Unbelievable.

He also seems to think that the desire — and right — to be treated as a human being (that is, one of God’s children) is somehow one of “the tortured inventions of the Secular Humanist faith,” whatever that is. The United Church of Christ pastor who spoke at the recent meeting did not think so. It would seem that the Rev. Blakesley is indeed a true Christian who obeys Jesus’ commands: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”;

Spewing conspiracy theories and insults at people with whom you do not agree, or do not like, does not reflect “actual Christian” love.

Perhaps if more people followed the Word, instead of equating respect, fairness and equality with a “radical social agenda,” there would not be a need for such laws. To the Editor:

At McKinley Elementary in Elkins Park, we’re building the future.

But this isn’t your traditional STEM project in a lab. Instead, it’s an interconnected web of clean water projects that restore our local stream, the beautiful but oft-neglected Jenkintown Creek, bringing cleaner water downstream, while providing a beautiful and educational streamside classroom for our students.
