Dear Fonseca
I'm upset with my daughter's elementary school. Her third grade teacher sent a letter home the other day saying that the kids can hand out Valentine's Day cards, but cannot sign them with the word 'love'. I think the teacher is being too politically correct because Valentine's Day is all about love. Where do you stand on this?
