APUPIL does not represent a broad spectrum of parents

I was almost swayed by Luke Fevin's attempt, in his ( Gazette , Feb. 10) letter, to portray himself and his Facebook advocacy group as an unbiased commentator on the issue of the Pregnancy Care Centre delivering content in a St. Albert public school.

Until, that is, I actually bothered to take a look at the Facebook group in question and realized that it was little more than a sounding board for vitriolic anti-theists with axes to grind against religion in general, and against Christianity in particular. This is hardly the unbiased, open-minded group that it is made out to be. It represents not a broad spectrum of concerned parents, but a small and insular community of those who are offended at the very idea of religion.

Lesson learned, on my part. I would advise that any further commentary from APUPIL or its representatives be consumed with a good measure of salt.
