I totally agree with Char from Sonora. The way that your political views spill out has cause me to make the decision to not subscribe to Exchange magazine. You have not understood that you alienate people that view things differently than you. Some of your information is very helpful and I pass it on to my staff but I always open your emails with the thought I wonder if it will be political today. I delete immediately.

I think you should stay out of poliltics. I think you should be giving us information about children. There is often a bias either blantantly in your words or it is implied. Give us child develop information and teaching ideas and research.
