Dear Dr. Latham, Ms. LaRivee, and members of the Lynn School Committee,

Hopefully you will be able to tell me the devastating news that I heard is not true and that no one there is trying to rewrite history. Specifically I am hearing of the removal of the banner denoting Ford School a NASA EXPLORER SCHOOL. Also there was talk of the removal of the awarding of the INTERNATIONAL IMAGINE LEARNING distinction.

This callous and brazen action is akin to removing the championship banners from TD Garden that were won at the old Boston Gardens or distinguishing the Patriots accomplishments while at Foxboro versus Gillette Stadium.

How can you in good conscience rob mine and countless other children of a representation of being the first elementary school of having talked to astronauts on the International Space Station? It is clear to me that this blatant attempt to rewrite history along with your cessation of the Know Atom program  constitutes what I feel is a war against science where our children our the unwilling victims of a personal vendetta.

I strongly urge you to restore all the banners taken down to return the heritage of the students of the Highlands. Hopefully this was all a misunderstanding and this distorted sense of ethnic cleansing did not occur. Please make me apologize.

Sincerely,
Stan
