"Dear Principal, "I must draw your attention to a serious incident. "When Ruby left for school yesterday it was 2017 but when she returned home in the afternoon she was from 1968. ‘"know this to be the case as Ruby informed me that the “girls” in Year 6 would be attending the school library to get their hair and make-up done on Monday afternoon while the “boys” are going to Bunnings. "Are you able to search the school buildings for a rip in the space-time continuum? Perhaps a faulty Flux Capacitor hidden away in the girls' toilet block? "I look forward to this being rectified and my daughter and other girls at the school being returned to this millennium where school activities are not divided sharply along gender lines. Your respectfully, Stephen Callaghan."
As we can see from the above, Stephen went in.
And rightly so.
He shared his letter on Twitter too so people other than his daughter's school's principal could enjoy it.
And, oh, they certainly did.
"This reminds me of Women In Aviation Week a few years ago, where an event invitation ended with “Ladies: Bring a plate.” I wrote back and suggested that maybe they mistyped “plane,” and should issue a correction," said one person.
"This is an excellent letter," said another.
We would tend to agree.
