Dear Mr. Reed & Readers,
Your article has come to my attention through a co-worker of mine and I feel the need to address certain statements you have made, as the very same “brusque chaperone” who “scowled” at you on that very day, over this very issue. For one, sir, I find it alarming that you think it is appropriate to allow ten year old children to rally for or against anything. Does the anti-war movement need to recruit individuals who truly have no political opinion but what others tell them? For two, as it is your constitutional right to give them the signs, it is mine to take them away. For three, the Newseum should be about educating the next generation, not indoctrinating them with yellow journalism and sensationlism. Let these children learn and grow into mature, productive citizens before they are brainwashed please. As for reader comments, my own personal political leanings are irrelevant, either way, I would not need a child to state them.

The ultimate in irony. The chaperone was probably a fringe member of the Bush cabinet…

I also found it amusing that children were carry anti-war signs. They didn’t look like they knew whether they should be holding them or not. The block party was pretty cool. The museum could possibly be a little overwhelming, but it was well worth its free admission!

when they said opening day was free what they meant was, it’s free until they run out of free passes.

and i ran into a guy in a suit who tried to scalp 2 tickets for $10 each to a group of 3 of us.

no, we didnt go. made no sense to wait in a long line for crowded exhibits and pay $20.
