In my own post above, I was stating that, "I Would not Put it Past" a letter such as that coming from idiots in my own area...
I've talked/debated with too many parents in my area, that believe the creation BS and have taken their children out of public schools because of it's teachings etc.
I've had my children's teachers state in their classrooms of a Young Earth Nature etc. etc.
So NO, I "Can" believe the letter is true, due to my own experience living in the Bible Belt/arm pit of the United States...(Louisiana)......
My post wasn't directed towards you or anyone else on the forum. I heard the guys on the Atheist Experience say something similar and I found the observation interesting and it seems to apply to the topic.
I too wouldn't put it past some religious parents to do this type of thing, but I'd like to know where the atheists got this photo. You'd think that the letter would have been handed into the teacher and that it got filed/thrown away. The teacher taking a picture of it seems unprofessional and I doubt the parent would have taken a picture of the letter to share on a forum. But then again, that is just what I suspect and some people do shocking things.
