ref: The Lehigh Valley Good Neighbors Alliance gets air time to seek followers and rouse action
Gadfly:
Well, that is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back.
However, in all seriousness, I am hopeful the country, and even the citizens of Bethlehem, have had enough of that type of inflammatory rhetoric being cloaked in the word “new.”
No, Lehigh University is not a “hot bed of liberal marxists who have been lying to your children.”
NO . . . Dr Roy is not “in on the Marxist conspiracy.”
Paige Van Wirt is not “their leader.”
The people I have listened to calling in to Bethlehem City Council meetings have offered research and data, not rhetoric and fear mongering.
And I believe that will continue to be the case in spite of the best efforts of the “Good Neighbors Alliance” to divert attention from what is really important.
In full transparency, I have called in and will continue to do so, and I am definitely not a confused Marxist child as my good neighbors would imply.

Michelle, thank you for your respectful advocacy on behalf of democracy, our educational institutions, our imperfect city, ALL our neighbors but especially our youth – the future, who’s integrity and engagement are also impugned by the LVGNA.
