>>Greetings:
>>
>>I've been out of town for two weeks, so I'm still catching up on a few 
>>issues.  I've submitted the following letter to the Daily News.
>>
>>To the Editor:
>>
>>In his letter (Letters, August ?) Jim Parsons claimed that Paul Kimmell 
>>had responded to all the allegations against him.  This is patently 
>>untrue.  Consider the following:
>>
>>· Kimmell has been repeatedly asked to explain what the meaning and 
>>implication of the “oversight from the elders” of Christ Church.  I know 
>>of no other church or institution in Moscow that would compromise the 
>>conscience of any elected official in this manner.
>>
>>· Kimmell has been repeatedly asked to explain why he chose Robert E. Lee 
>>as an example of business leadership for a town that has just been through 
>>a divisive debate about neo-Confederate influences in Christ Church and 
>>Logos School.
>>
>>Kimmell’s pastor Doug Wilson has admitted to displaying the Confederate 
>>flag at a school function and a conservative Presbyterian has written to 
>>this paper attesting to the presence of the flag in Wilson’s office.
>>
>>On the last page of Kimmell’s presentation he has the audacity to display 
>>the American and Confederate flags side by side with the strong 
>>implication that both are of equal worth, or that they are still in great 
>>tension. Some would call this treason.
>>
>>Steve Wilkins, Wilson’s good friend and co-author of Slavery As It Was, is 
>>a founding director of the League of the South, an organization dedicated 
>>to the withdrawal of 15 states from the union under the banner of white 
>>male Calvinist authority.  Wilkins is also one of the most active student 
>>recruiters for New St. Andrews College and Logos School.
>>
>>When traveling and I identify myself as a Idahoan, I invariably have to 
>>respond: “The potatoes are down south and that the Aryan Nations compound, 
>>thanks to the Southern Poverty Law Center, has been dismantled.”
>>
>>I dread the thought of Moscow’s image being marred by people who want to 
>>refight the Civil War and bring alien ideas to our fine town.
>>
>>Nick Gier
