That headline is a bit over-simplified, but not by much. Mary Ann King, a former host of the children's television series "Romper Room," opposes a plan to open a Confucius Classroom in a middle school in Hacienda Heights. The reason? It would be staffed for free by teachers from China, and King says, "We do not need to import teachers from the (People's) Republic of China to teach a doctrine that we neither agree with, nor do we want it offered in the United States of America." A school board member who is also opposed said "I don't believe in teaching culture," according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune story, which appends a thought from Confucius:
"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."
